From the reviews
My granddaughter started violin lessons this summer at Family Music Center. I was so amazed how the lessons flowed so well for a 7 year old. The instructor is very patient and knowledgeable when teaching a young child.
What a nice experience we had here! My husband took all 3 of my guitars in for some minor repairs. The man was very kind and did a wonderful job. He said it was their 100th year of business. Very cool! We will be back to support them
We had a sax in need of repair that was quoted $215 at a different store. I took it to the Family Music Center and it was repaired in two hours for $50. Very honest and I highly recommend.
Great little music store, neighborhood, the only one in the area that carries S.I.T. guitar strings!! :-)
Lessons at Family Music Center-Miller Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Family Music Center-Miller 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.
