From the reviews
My daughter is taking Online Piano Lessons with Dawn from Jim's Music. I was very skeptical about how "online piano lessons" would actually work but honestly I am really happy with her progress and very impressed at how well Dawn is able to instruct my daughter through video chat only.
My son has been both electric guitar and base guitar lessons here for a few years. His electric guitar instructor Brandon is awesome he and my son really click. Amy his base instructor is awesome as well she really pushes him to do his best and excel. Jesse and her team are wonderful. They go above and beyond.
I’ve been shopping at Jim’s Music for years. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. Recently I dropped off my mandolin to get restringed and tuned. Mike was very helpful and was very knowledgeable and informative.
Small Family oriented music business with a wide variety of instructors who teach a plethora of instruments. Their level of quality instruments and brand names in the store is reflective of the care taken by the owner and staff to ensure you stick with it.
Selling or trading gear at Jim's Music & Teaching Center
Jim's Music & Teaching Center 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 Jim's Music & Teaching Center
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Jim's Music & Teaching 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.
