This, of course, requires a mechanic that you trust: once I find one, I tend to treat them like solid gold. Music Go Round AA is like that, but for guitars. Got my S/O a sweet-sounding acoustic that she really likes. Sold 'em a solid-body bass, bought an electric one. But really, it's the setups that do it for me. They really treat guitars right here: when I get a guitar from other sources, I take it here to get a setup. Also, they sometimes get some *interesting* stuff in from time-to-time: worth keeping an eye on. Just don't buy anything I want, ok? :)

Convenient parking directly across the street. The center is one block from Main Street, in downtown Ann Arbor. Classes are 30 mins, they bill you for the month upfront and I can see why.

"As good as it gets" indeed!…read more I studied piano with Mary for ten years (starting when I was 5) and voice for three years (starting when I was 12). While she takes music seriously and helps you to become the best musician you can be, she never loses sight of what's really important: music should bring joy to your life! While her standards and expectations (for both herself and her students) are very high, she understood me well enough to know when to push and when to back off just a bit. Lessons with Mary taught me much more than just how to read music and play the piano. She taught me how to break down big challenges into manageable pieces, how to set a goal and reach it (auditions, auditions, auditions), how to manage performance nerves, how to recover from a poor performance ("learn from it and let it go"), and how to deal with the ups and downs of life (remember, we were together for 10 years). She was my biggest critic (although always constructively) and my biggest cheerleader. Whether you want to gain admission to a prestigious music school and become a professional musician (as some of her students have done) ,or just be a really good musician who enjoys playing "just for fun", Mary can help you get there.

What I really appreciated about studying with Mary is that she taught me valuable lessons about…read moreboth music and life. One concept I particularly remember learning is that it is okay to not be perfect. I had always been under the impression that it is imperative to get every single note right, so I would often get frustrated when I missed notes. I finally broke down during one of my lessons and started crying. When I told Mary why I was upset, I feared that she would be disappointed in me, but then she gave me a completely new perspective on playing the piano-- the idea that it's not all about the notes but rather more about the musicality. Mary explained that what's more important is creating the mood of the music; a pianist's interpretation of the piece is what truly excites the audience. She began guiding me through various movement exercises in order to allow me to be more expressive, and I appreciated how patient and encouraging she was during the process. Over time, as I embraced the idea of musicality more, I realized I had never had so much fun playing the piano. In fact, being more expressive actually made it easier for me to get the notes right as well, since there was less tension in my body. On the whole, I became a better musician. But more importantly, I changed my outlook on life in general. During that same pivotal piano lesson, Mary told me that just as it's okay if a few notes are wrong here and there, it's okay if not everything is perfect in life--it's about making the most of whatever comes your way and focusing on the big picture. And just as I began to feel less stressed about playing the piano, I began to feel less stressed in general. I started learning to keep a positive attitude in everything I do, knowing that I will be successful in the long term as long as I try my hardest. I stopped worrying about every small thing in life, which made me feel much better as a person. I'm very grateful for all of the support and encouragement Mary has given me. Because of my experiences in her studio, I've learned to consider playing the piano more in terms of artistry, and I've learned to pick myself up from the obstacles that appear in my life--lessons that I will carry with me as I move on into the future.
