From the reviews
Both our boys take lessons here: drum and guitar. Gary and Steve have really helped our kids fall in love with their instruments and appreciate music even more. Josh and John are always in the store, as pleasant and helpful as can be. Being around these great folks has even gotten me playing again. Great place!
Recently had the tuner/Machine head give out on my acoustic guitar. Called several shops seeing if they had some on site or had services to fix them. Last shop I called was dale city music. Super Nice on the phone and I got a great vibe right away.
Note: The shop has moved a few doors down to a bigger location since I wrote this review. It's still awesome though! For as small as this storefront looks on the outside, Dale City Music has an impressive selection of gear and accessories.
Took my BC Rich in on Wednesday for a complete restore and set-up. I was told to expect it to be at the shop about a week (it needed a LOT of work). I received a call around 1pm today (Friday) that it was ready to be picked-up! The tech, Abbey, did an amazing job!
Lessons at Dale City Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Dale City 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.
