From the reviews
Amazing new Music Store with several practice rooms and lessons available from music teachers/professionals. Taran was very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this store for all your Music needs and wants.
Uodate: 02/22/2026. We switched guitar instructors a few weeks ago & I have nothing but good things to say about Mike. He explains things thoroughly & is extremely patient with my 6 year old grandson, who has made great progress in the past few weeks. Brought my grandson here for his first 30 minute guitar lesson.
I walked into the store wanting to rent a violin and was quickly helped out by Chris, a member of the staff. He got me set up with a violin and everything necessary for a beginner. Great service, would recommend to a friend.
Where do i begin, Kaitlyn was absolutely incredible with helping me set up music lessons and a rental! i really appreciated how personable she made my experience. i’m very excited for my journey with this business.
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.
