From the reviews
I am just starting to learn to play guitar and my teacher, Mary is fantastic. She is kind, and patient. We've only had 2 "sessions" but I can already tell i would like to learn with her for the long run. I bought 2 guitars and my dad suggested that I get them "setup".
I love herter music store, I go here for bass guitar lessons and basic shopping. I pay for 30 minutes sessions though originally I wanted to pay for hour sessions tho those aren't available. They are very on top of stock and whenever I need something they are out of it takes a week or less for them to get it for me.
Herter’s Music is excellent. Their repairs are always top quality and their staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend them for any of your musical instrument needs or repairs. We have had our daughters flute repaired there and just purchased a new instrument also.
Took my acoustic guitar to get worked on as the intonation was way out of whack. Matt, their luthier, fixed it up and it sounds fantastic. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out, and would recommend Matt to anyone needing work done on their guitars. 10/10, great experience
Lessons at Herter Music Center
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Herter Music Center. 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.
