From the reviews
I am taking piano lessons here with Scott and went from barely knowing anything about a piano to playing a simple song. His way of explaining things is beautiful just beautiful!
Great sister music store of Guitar Center. This music store chain carries quality musical instruments (although a significantly smaller selection than Guitar Center stores). Their focus is on providing rental instruments through school rental programs, as well as music lessons.
In person, this store was a good experience. The instruments on display are very reasonably priced. It is a small store so there is not a lot of variety, but the clerks assured me they could get anything I needed delivered to the store, which I wholeheartedly believe.
Pleasantly surprised, prices were right at the level with most competitive online stores. I came in to by some reeds for my daughter's saxophone, yet after looking around found descent price tags on guitars and couldn't resist and purchased a nice acoustic Fender 6-string.
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.
