From the reviews
This review is for a repair I had done. I brought in a trombone that needed a small dent removed. I brought it in around noon and was given a quote and time estimate of "officially 2 weeks but usually much faster. Possibly a few days." I ran some other errands and ended up at the mall.
This location has very knowledgeable staff, great products, and amazing instructors lessons.
Great environment as soon as you walk in the door!! I have worked with Steven and Andrew on 2 separate occasions. The 1st was buying my son a trumpet for his school band. I orders it online and it was ready to pick up that afternoon.
Very knowledgeable staff. Megan was great helping my neice select a Martin guitar for her birthday present.
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.
