From the reviews
The in-store staff at Music & Arts are great. The corporate warehouse and customer service team is extremely suspect. Order IN-STORE not online. Everything I have ordered from people at the store has been PERFECT. Everything I ordered online has been screwed up.
I've been in a few times recently, and the staff were always incredibly helpful and professional today. Julian was very patient helping me find the right guitar case today. Great store!
Great music shop with excellent stock and mind-boggling prices! Polite and helpful staff are the cherry on top. From edm to punk to classical, you’ll find everything you need here!
Excellent service! Great prices and Julian really knows guitars and music. This was my second purchase there. They are my go to music store in Charlottesville.
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.
