From the reviews
We had a wonderful experience with a birthday party at the Murphy Music Center! The venue was a perfect set-up for hanging out while the kids played with the toys, and we had plenty of room for setting up food, cake, and decor.
After a session of Music and Movement with Miss Crystal, our 3 year old was so excited to have his birthday party “at music class!” The toddlers enjoyed free play, music time, and a puppet show with balloons!
I’ve been doing the drop-in classes for my 3 year old and we have a blast! It sometimes takes her a minute to warm up to the room but it’s perfect because there’s time before class begins to do that. My daughter loves the way the room is brightly decorated.
We had the most amazing time at the Murphy Music Center for their Black Friday pajama party today!!! The space is so colorful, open, child friendly and welcoming. My girls had a blast dancing, singing, and creating. I am so happy to have Ms Crystal as a musical and creative option for my children!
Selling or trading gear at Murphy Music Center
Murphy Music Center comes up for buying and trading used gear, going by their listing and players’ reviews. 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 Murphy Music Center
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Murphy 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 on hand for exactly this reason.
