“The enduring prestige of the Schoenstein name is a testament to the vision of Jack Bethard and his team. We owe a great debt of appreciation to Jack for his unwavering devotion to excellence. His life’s work has been more than just mechanical engineering; it is a profound commitment to art and artistry. By championing the symphonic ideal during eras when it was often overlooked, he ensured that the organ remains a living, breathing palette of musical expression. His meticulous ear and dedication to the craft have elevated the American pipe organ to new heights of beauty and sophistication.“

“Our 8-year-old started guitar lessons with Ken Wilcox and I honestly didn’t know what to expect - but Ken’s patience is next level. He has this rare superpower where he teaches real technique and musical fundamentals without it ever feeling like “a lesson.” He’s also incredibly flexible and easygoing. Life with kids can be unpredictable, and Ken always seems to take things in stride with a calm, accommodating attitude.

One thing I love is how seriously he takes whatever music excites our kiddo. One week it might be working through a Beatles classic, the next it’s KPop Demon Hunters!! Instead of steering them back to a rigid curriculum, Ken leans into it with genuine enthusiasm—and somehow turns it into a great teaching moment. Ken is incredibly knowledgeable but also refreshingly humble. You can tell he knows a ton, but he explains things in a way that makes you feel capable instead of intimidated.

And the ultimate proof? After watching a few lessons, I signed up myself. Ken doesn’t just teach guitar—he makes people excited to play it. If you’re thinking about finding a guitar teacher—save yourself the time and reach out to Ken.“

“Mark and Terry are so kind and very informative. They patiently answered all our questions. Mark carefully changed and cleaned my daughters violin strings. They were compassionate and thoughtful. We highly recommend you coming here. Their dad started their family business in the 1960’s please come and check them out. Also if there are any music teachers come and introduce yourself so you can build awesome relationships and get more referrals.“

“I have a renewed passion for playing the piano and I owe it to Laura. Laura is an amazing piano teacher. She is patient, dedicated, and explains piano theory where you can understand it. She expects the best so make sure you bring your a-game (adults and kids) and practice diligently. I highly recommend Laura as an instructor. I just wish I was able to find her sooner in my life.“
