From the reviews
I've been teaching myself bass recently on an instrument I picked up on Craigslist. I brought it in for a minor repair, and Jerry found another problem my bass had that I wasn't even aware of since it's my first. He was really friendly and did the extra work for no charge.
Great new space! Lots of guitars and music equipment to browse. Great teachers and options for music lessons. Excited to come back!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff at The Music Center! Earlier today, we took our son in to make his final payment on a guitar he had put on layaway- his first ever electric guitar. He had done a ton of research to find the exact model he wanted, and we looked for a local shop to purchase from.
Great Place! Lots of new and used instruments, with competitive price points for everyone. I’m just a hobby player, and they’ve always treated me decent. Lessons, equipment service, advice, they do it all. Ibanez Gio, 2 Fender Acoustics, Squier Tele, and most recently Jackson j-22…. Again, I’m a hobby player.
Lessons at The Music Center
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at The Music Center. 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.
