I had been planning on getting a new guitar and researching for a couple months trying to find a…read morehigh quality instrument that fit my criteria. I learned a lot about the current quality problems with some of the major brands and after much back and forth narrowed the search down to Taylor and Furch. I had also heard of some of the horror stories about the large nationwide retailers. A friend of mine who had made purchases there before suggested Steilberg Stringed Instruments. He took me there and introduced me to Jim Steilberg the owner. Jim and his staff were some of the nicest people you would ever meet. Jim was a fountain of knowledge was answering the questions I had before I could even ask them. I never felt rushed or pressured and he wanted me to try many different models to ensure that I found what was right for me. All the display models are meticulously maintained and Jim even asked that we wash our hands before playing them to avoid skin and oil contamination. The store has several humidifiers that maintain the proper humidity level necessary for fine instruments. The Furch Yellow GC deluxe that I decided on was absolutely beautiful. Just looking at it, you know it is quality through and through. The sound was remarkable being well defined without being overly bright throughout its register just as Sitka Spruce and Rosewood should be. I knew that was the one when I heard it. Jim also adjusted the action to make sure it was just right for me before going home with it. Great people, great service and great instruments plus a locally owned shop that cares about its customers. I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend.

These people are absolutely the worst I've ever encountered. Please read this review and look at…read morethe details and attached picture before deciding on doing business here. As you can see from the receipt, the date the bass was dropped off was 9/8/20. After almost two months of following up with this apathetic junk peddler, they got around to do something (albeit not the service they committed to providing in one weeks time). So as you can see from the write up on the receipt, I took this instrument in to have it repaired and they did not fix the pick up nor provide adequate results on the items they did "say" that they performed. This place is a joke and please consider Moms Music or any of the luthiers you' can find on Craigslist because I essentially paid $42 to not have my instrument for a month and a half. Absolutely amazing that places like this can stay in business.

I started taking piano lessons about a month ago with Jackie. Piano has been something I always…read morewanted to learn, but you know, life gets in the way and other things. I'm here now and love Highlands music. My teacher is Jackie. Very skilled and very knowledgeable. She has a lot of experience in teaching different levels and you can tell. I'm an adult learner and a beginner at that. She is patient with me and makes me feel like I can do it. It is still hard at some times but I know I will eventually be where I want to be with her help. The lessons are at a place that looks like a house. It is a very quaint and homely kind of place. I love the feel it has when you go in there. Feels like home where you can thrive. The classes aren't too expensive. I go every week for 30 minutes for about $120 a month. That's not bad at all and I am learning something that has been my dream. Glad I found this company.

Wow, where to start! The Highlands Music Academy has been very accommodating to me. When I first…read morebecame a student I bit off more than I could chew by enrolling in both piano and guitar lessons. Once I realized it was way too much for me, they aloud me to drop my guitar lessons and credit the difference towards my piano lessons. Also as new student I wanted to switch days and instructors to better accommodate my needs. I was allowed to do so. Then I met my current instructor...love, love, love her. When I realized I wasn't grasping the concepts at the rate I hoped I would, I told her I felt the book we were using was a little too difficult for me and asked if I could just start all over from scratch with the basics. I was then aloud to sample a Piano Express course with the kids but decided that wasn't for me. Now I'm going to use their curriculum but stay in my private lessons. What more can I ask for from a school? They have accommodated every need and request I've had! I give them 5 stars and I definitely recommend them!
