Both of my kids have been taking lessons for a few months now. My daughter has one of their more…read moretenured teachers so she's had her the whole time and absolutely loves her. She has learned so much and even recently added on a voice lesson to her guitar lesson, which is a big deal for her because she is very shy. My son is on his 3rd teacher because two have left for various reasons, but honestly that is just going to happen at any large music studio, and every time he has gotten a new teacher he has liked him even better than the last! So it has all worked out and he is learning a lot. And the front desk staff - WOW. I really don't know how to express how awesome and helpful they are. They truly care about the kids, are very empathetic to kids' and parents' needs and concerns (I honestly do not understand how they have so much patience), always think to message when a makeup spot or better scheduling spot opens up, and are just so genuinely kind, professional and friendly. The service they provide really makes big difference in our experience as parents.

Parts that belonged to me that "got thrown out", brand new parts on my brand new guitars missing,…read morewhich the required service was not compensatorily offered for and I am sitting with yet another job on that exact same guitar. Electronics installed in cavity that don't fit as well. I mentioned whether they would fit and he just installed that instead of ordering a part or backing off. Multiple extra visits for pickup height adjustment on pickup installs also included surprisingly my going out to pick up parts for my jobs for him. Requested a cavity photo for reference and did not receive the photo at all nor any acknowledgement of that. This is not a full list of the issues I experienced. Guitar Center fucks up just as bad unfortunately. I didn't say anything about this dude technically made some really uneducated commentary and I bought extra guitar strings to add to business (cheap online). I feel like I really came through while suffering from side effects of my cancer treatment and I still have work to do that was created by carelessness and negligence, if I pay for those services somewhere else my guitars will be in shop for months and I will be paying hundreds of extra dollars. Tech/owner was also extremely condescending and inaccurate, maybe he was religious I saw him with crosses on his shirt and some religious music playing on his low-end stereo. Happens all the time.

My 4 year old son was begging to take piano lessons too even though he can't read but Dianne has been teaching him for a few weeks and maintaining his attention as well.

My finance inherited her Father's Guild guitar for me to play. I had some trouble playing barre…read morechords on it and I noticed the action was quite high. I had put on custom light strings and still wasn't happy with it's action. I decided to take it to Russell and see what he thought. He took one look at it and noticed that it possibly hadn't been setup before. He saved my newly (night before) installed strings and wow it plays amazingly now. I tried it out and he said "You should hear it from here" so I handed him the guitar and he played some Travis picking and yeah it sounds amazing. Barre chords are coming along better and the guitar feels more comfortable without the struggle. For the record I've bought a couple guitars from him and will continue to add to my collection via Moonlight Music. The work was quick and I had it back in no time.
