From the reviews
Great place for music lessons. My daughter takes guitar and my boy does drums. Their teachers are great and John, the guy who assists with setting up lessons, is amazing and always easy to work with.
Excellent service, always friendly. Audio Technician, Neil, did an incredible job fully hand-wiring and reviving a broken down guitar amp I brought in.
Was told this was the best place for instrument repair, so I loaded up my son's sax and made the trek from Highland before work. When I arrived they were not open and wouldn't be for two more hours!
Just got my first guitar yesterday and had broken a string by trying to get it back in tune today. Took it to Halpin and they had the string replaced and also adjusted the neck within 10 minutes. It cost me a whole $2. I will definitely be going back when I need service or need to purchase stuff for my new guitar.
Lessons at Halpin Music Company
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Halpin Music Company. 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.
