From the reviews
Queen City Music Studios in Staunton, VA, is an absolute gem for anyone looking to learn music by ear. My daughter has been taking singing lessons with Molly Murphy for a couple of years now, and it has quickly become her favorite part of the week.
Excellent musicians, teachers, events, jams, and music shop! A gem in downtown Staunton.
My name is Lauren Iverson, I am a full time-business owner and first -time mother, and I can't say how much I've loved going to this class. I started in the Babies class when my daughter was about 10 months old, during the Fall session.
Queen City Music Studios is the heart of so much music in Staunton. From instruction, to musical instruments and gear, to traditional music community jams and sessions, Queen City Music Studios brings the Staunton community together.
Selling or trading gear at Queen City Music Studios: School, Shop + Special Events
Queen City Music Studios: School, Shop + Special Events 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 Queen City Music Studios: School, Shop + Special Events
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Queen City Music Studios: School, Shop + Special Events. 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 on hand for exactly this reason.
