From the reviews
They have a great selection of classes, instruments, supplies… My son is having a blast there. His teacher is Martin Nau and he is perfect for my son. He can steer my son’s energy and have him very focused. My son has learned so much in 3 lessons! I am very pleased. I also love the people at the register.
Got my trumpet repaired by music and arts and I wish I took a before picture because the result was amazing. They completely fixed up my old trumpet from the 60s and it looks like it could be a brand new trumpet. Would definitely recommend their service to anyone looking for repairs
Been learning to play the ukulele for the past five weeks with Dan Peterson as my instructor. Dan has taught me a lot in a very short amount of time. Each lesson I look forward to learning something. If you are interested in learning a string instrument Dan is your go to guy.
We have been taking piano lessons from one of the best! Kendra Scott is an amazing music instructor. I can't say enough great things about her, but here are a few things that she provides her students with PCP, 1) Personalized instruction, 2) Classical training, 3) Progression and Performance: 1.
Lessons at Music & Arts
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Music & Arts. 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.
