From the reviews
If I could give 6 stars I would. Chris the owner of the store is genuine and honest. I needed to sell a guitar for personal reasons that I owned for over 30 years. It was one of the hardest things I had to do was part with my Gibson Les Paul.
My son and I came to Chris’s because his store was close by and we actually found a gold mine! Chris is so careful about all his guitars, and his honesty is refreshing. He doesn’t like over selling.
I started guitar lessons there knowing not a single thing about the guitar. 6 months later and I am playing songs! My teacher is extremely nice, patient, and knowledgeable. The rest of the staff are friendly and helpful. The shop is small but has a great local vibe.
My son takes drum lessons there. Everyone is friendly. Matt does a great job. Scheduling is very easy.
Lessons at Division Street Music Shop
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Division Street Music Shop. 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.
