What players say again and again

From the reviews
My son started taking lessons at Rock shop when he was 11 years old. Then when he was 18 years old, he graduated to adult Rock shop. When we was 24, I joined a band with my son as a drummer and worked closely with James and Mike to improve my drumming skills.
Rockshop in Manalapan NJ is a genuine jewel 💎 if you are seriously looking to join an adult band… James Strifullino and his professional staff of teachers are top notch musicians that have integrity, compassion, patience and humanity and are truly in your corner 🥊🥊 to succeed as a gigging musician. .
I can’t recommend this place enough. My teenage son had been taking guitar lessons elsewhere and just wasn’t responding well. I wanted to find a teacher he could relate to that would get him excited to play and teach him. This place was it!! Donovan is not only a great guy but a phenomenal teacher.
This shops heritage is strong. Musicians workshop was an institution. Every person I played with who was any good took lessons there. 20 years later, I return to shop and the guitar tech. The guy took a $150 Amazon “Jasmine” that was twisted up and made it super playable.
Lessons at RockShopMusic
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at RockShopMusic. 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.
