From the reviews
Very nice my son takes lessons here and he is having a very enjoyable time and the instructors are very kind.
Very nice people and great customer service. I have purchased several instruments from them over the years, most recently an electric guitar & amp. Very competitive prices, I wouldn’t purchase and musical equipment from anywhere else.
Kasey has really great customer service! She helped me choose a guitar, case, picks, and has a great personality!
Kyle's brainchild of a meeting place, a watering hole for the musicians that come to teach, to learn, to shop, to get into the scene. A place where support is offered to school and church group, other, any learning group that wants latest tech, equipment, and professional musicians to help figure it out, as in my case.
Lessons at Barker's Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Barker's Music. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments and rentals on hand for exactly this reason.
