From the reviews
This lovely music store in the heart of Dana Point, is perfect for my little one learning piano. The parking is convenient and easy to get to. The owners and entire staff are extremely kind, welcoming and flexible with our schedule. I was pleasantly surprised to walk in and see how many instruments are being taught.
Danans's Music School in Dana point CA is a great place for music lessons. I've been working with Zoe Zehren on fine tuning my acoustic guitar playing. She is a great instructor and a talented musician. She is fine tuning my chord progression and strumming for a wide variety of music.
Danmans music is the BEST place for lessons! The instructors are all nice, very knowledgeable, and great with kids! Both of my kids love going and I love the skills they are building and the new found role music has in their lives!
Bryce is awesome and super helpful. My son is learning the ukulele and is excited to go to his lesson every week. Bianca is an encouraging teacher and is helping him to learn a ton!
Selling or trading gear at Dana Point Music
Dana Point Music comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
Lessons at Dana Point Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Dana Point 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.
