From the reviews
My 6yr old son had his first piano lesson today and Janice was nothing short of AMAZING! This was the the first time he seemed truly interested in something outside of video games and Janice was so great and patient with him.
My girlfriend and I were on vacation with the family. We both decided to bike 5miles to the music shop and I would say it was worth it 100%. Their handsome sales man Ozzy sold us an amazing classical guitar that I’ve been playing through the whole vacation so far. I named the guitar Sharon and I’ve loved it since then!
I am new to ukulele and thankfully found a teacher Janice (owner)that inspires me to do my best, while teaching me in a way I understand on just how to get there. So excited for my lesson every week! At 70 I’m learning to read sheet music- so fun. Andi
I got a great deal on a used guitar...enjoyed my conversation with Janice. Terrific shop..very helpful!
Selling or trading gear at Play It Again Jams
Play It Again Jams comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
Lessons at Play It Again Jams
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Play It Again Jams. 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.
