After every class my youngest comes home and tells me enthusiastically what she learned.

When you imagine a music lesson (or recall your own), I'd bet it involves some stodgy teacher…read moreforcing you to do scales, and the student avoiding practice and dreading the actual lesson...who could be motivated to learn that way?!? No one!! Mark Murphy's School of Music takes an entirely different approach and is a wonderful experience, where you or your kids will be excited to learn to play piano, drums or guitar (or sing) and actually WANT to go their lessons. It is truly a special place - all the instructors are young musicians who have a great ability to connect with the students. When you're waiting in the lobby, the place has such a cool and friendly vibe. Mark himself is always there greeting parents and kids with high fives and fist bumps, while the din of 5-10 simultaneous lessons can be heard all around the studio. Such an inspiring energy when the students hear their peers learning! And the kids get to choose any music they like to apply to what they're learning. MMM even forms rock bands for kids who want take it in that direction and help them get gigs around town. Can't say enough positive things about this place!

I have taken guitar lessons for many years with several different teachers. Presently, I am…read morestudying Jazz guitar with Mr. Rob Backof. He is by far the best guitar instructor that I have ever had. Rob is extremely knowledgeable with regard to music theory, musical notation, chords, arpeggios, scales and modes. His expertise with regard to his instrument of choice is readily apparent and Rob is very well versed with regard to all types of guitar instruction and playing including Rock, Jazz, Jazz Fusion, and Classical guitar. He is a very patient and mature instructor. In addition, Rob is a very motivational teacher, always encouraging one to do their very best, yet never critical concerning a student's progress and always generous with praise.

Now that I'm…read moreolder and I look back and surely wished that I took up any instrument and learn how to play some music. If you watched the story of Janet Jackson their father demanded that they learn starting from a very young age. The rest is history. So to all the young kids out there today if you have an opportunity to learn, then grab it and put your heart into it. Maybe someday you'll become a famous musician.

Called around for violin bow rehairs. The place nearest me quoted $99 per bow, which was almost…read moreenough for me to just buy a new one. There had to be better. So I called a couple more places and Schmeeds popped up. Much better pricing in line with other quotes I saw online. Friendly guy on the phone so I walked in and, well, there he was. Great to talk with Pete and he said he'd get my bows over to Alex. While I was there, I listened to some instrument practices in the side rooms. Next day, Alex calls me to talk about the bows. Very detailed, concerned, wanted to make sure I was okay with the risk of rehairing a bow with cracks he saw. I appreciated the concern and we cleared things up, but it was nice to talk directly with the person handling my equipment. Fast forward... less time than I thought (2 weeks was stated), and I get the call that it's all done. I pop on over and there we are, two freshly haired bows and more friendly chat. While I was there both times, kids and adults were practicing in the various lesson rooms. What a wonderful local place to spend time and money on music.

You can tell Mrs. Valeriya is passionate about music and teaching. My son has been learning piano…read morefor 7 years, had 2 other piano teachers who were great pianists, but were not necessarily great teachers. Mrs. Valeriya is an exceptional teacher, she draws analogies from movies, karate, science, and a variety of others things to explain concepts and techniques in piano. She imparts not only techniques, but also love and appreciation for music. Classical, jazz, vocal, conducting, you name it, she knows it. I have seen tremendous growth in my son's musical abilities since he started with Mrs. Valeriya a year ago.
