From the reviews
I'd had my eyes on a certain model of trumpet for a few months. I wish I had known Mike's store existed before now! I stopped by this weekend and was very impressed with Mike's knowledge, and his helpful and friendly demeanor.
My wife and I took our daughter to look at a new flute and get her old flute repaired. We expected to go in and pick a flute and get out. Mike helped us and wanted to make sure she got the next level flute for her to be able to improve her playing. He spent the rest of the evening working with her...
I've been playing music on and off through the years since the 2nd grade when I started piano, picked up violin later, and now I'm starting up guitar. I almost went to a Guitar Center, but I'm EXTREMELY glad I went here, instead.
WAY more than just brass and woodwind! I moved to Illinois almost a year ago from Boston, and left my guitar tech on the east coast. Spent the last year here trying to find a remotely competent tech for my gear and I ABSOLUTELY found the place!
Lessons at Mike's Brass & Woodwind
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Mike's Brass & Woodwind. 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.
