Excellent service, staff, and I am very happy with the ukulele I bought there! I would give 6 stars if I could!

★★★★★ — Karlen, Aug 2018

Just started going to NAM and my guitar instructor Shannon is great. Just two lessons and learning so much about music theory and note reading already. The owner Christine is fantastic. She runs the school very efficiently.

★★★★★ — Ruth, Aug 2017

Lessons at Neighborhood Academy Of Music

Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Neighborhood Academy Of Music. 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.
