From the reviews
Brittany is a very helpful and informative manager. In the 2 years I have been going there, they have been nothing but pleasant. My son takes lessons there. We also have our instruments repair there in a timely manner. We were as given the best price on items, It's why we bought a piano from them.
This place was great!! I came in with my brother to buy him his first electric guitar for his birthday and it was a really good experience. The employees are very friendly and helpful. They greeted us at the door, provided great help when needed without being pushy at all, and were super nice in general!
Visiting Charleston from out of town and needed to restring my son’s guitar. Great selection and very helpful for a small shop!
The employee was very helpful with helping me decide about a guitar for my family member.
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.
