I began learning the piano with Inga in 6th grade after trying several other teachers. Her passion…read morefor music, focus on technique, and wide breadth of knowledge enabled me to learn really rapidly and play advanced pieces in only a few years; I can confidently say she is the best music teacher I have had. Another strength of Keys for Kids is that it is a one-stop shop. You can begin learning here during the summer programs when young, then join the group lessons, and finally progress to private lessons and reach a high level -- all under one program. I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend private lessons at Keys for Kids, especially if you want to learn piano to a high level!

It's great to watch the older kids play very skillfully during the 'all class graduation' performances. Highly recommend Keys for Kids for those looking to learn and understand music.

I was thrilled to find that this store doesn't just have hand drums, but is also well-stocked with…read more hardware and parts for rock drum kits. And if they don't stock something you need, they'll order it for you or point you in the right direction. Alan, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable and helpful if I have questions or need advice. When I came in last year wanting to restore my vintage kit, I had no idea where to start, and Alan helped me through the entire process, from cleaning, de-rusting, to finding missing parts. Whenever I have a problem with my kit or something breaks, I always go to Alan first (it's a good idea to call the store to see when he's working!) Often he'll find a way to fix it without having to purchase new parts. Definitely recommend this gem over bigger places like Guitar Center.

When several years later it needed the neck cork replaced they did it in 20 minutes while I waited for a ridiculously low fee, no appointment required.

I would recommend it without reservation for anyone in need of musical instrument repair, especially saxophones. Steven W. Margles, MD

Except of course they were fresh out of the book I was looking for (an empty slot on the rack) but I can't hold that against them.

We have taken guitar and piano lessons here for the last two years and could not be happier. The teachers are engaged and interested in teaching kids things that enhance their skills and keep them interested. The range of music you hear them teaching demonstrates their commitment to the student - not their own interests. I wish my parents sent me to this kind of place growing up instead of learning to read music for "Mary Had a Little Lamb". Bad enough for piano, imagine it for a kid that wanted to learn rock guitar. The space was recently spruced up and has a nice vibe. If you are interested in lessons for guitar, bass, uke, drums, piano and a few other instruments this place is definitely worth checking out.
