From the reviews
Debbie Vinick is my piano instructor and learning lessons more than a year now and she is very kind, professional and knowledgeable in music concepts. She has good skills in explaining the lessons to me with ease and easy to follow. Debbi is so encouraging and constructive, and making the concepts easy to understand.
Although I have played the trumpet since the 5th grade, I haven't purchased one for myself since 1971. My wife gave me the opportunity to purchase a new one for a birthday present. I approached a friend connected to Music & Arts who gave me her husband's email.
Great help and guidance from Josh. Encouraged to spend time getting to know the guitars I was interested and looked up Fender Strat I was interested in.
Really awesome place! Very friendly and helpful staff. They offer music lessons as well as instruments and music equipment.
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.
