“Kirk has an amazing approach to teaching! He always keeps his students’ skills in mind and is very friendly. Would recommend to anyone!“

“Cannot say enough good things about Randomosity Records and the amazing music instructors Joel and Jen! My kids took lessons from Ukulele, to acoustic guitar to piano to voice! Joel is engaging and fun to learn from and truly takes time and a genuine interest in each child as an individual. He is very compassionate and meets each child where they are at in their musical development and fosters growth. Jen is amazing on the piano and has a lovely gentle warmth that makes each child feel safe to learn and make strides forward in their knowledge and growth. Thank you Joel and Jen for always giving our kids the gift of music!“

“We took a flute to be tuned up here after much playing in the school year! The work was done quickly, well and fairly priced. It was a blessing to fine Uncle Jon's. There are not many of these locally owned shops around. I was also impressed with the signs to help me find the exact door and the updates on Google, as the location had moved slightly. The hours posted are accurate. Although, I ran in the shop at closing time I was able to make it in and not feel rushed but pleasantly greeted. I observed that there were guitar lessons being taught and the shop had a variety of ukuleles for sale. Keep Uncle Jon's in business. I highly recommend it!“

“My daughter has been taking trombone lessons with Andy for almost a year, and her progress has been remarkable. Under his guidance, she has developed her skills significantly, often performing ahead of her peers, and she genuinely looks forward to every lesson. Andy has played an important role in nurturing her love of music and helping that passion continue to grow. He is kind, patient, dependable, and an exceptional teacher. We are very grateful for the positive impact he has had on her musical development.“

“My daughter has been receiving piano lessons for 6 years and has made incredible progress! And because of this amazing progress, we also enrolled her in voice lessons, too! We love WMA- they have wonderful, kind, and effective teachers. The staff is very professional!“

“Absolutely fabulous record (not only) store... I found that place very amusing... and got a really good selection of records, CDs, posters and other music memorabilia, and even some audio equipment...“

“My 4 year old son recently started lessons with Ms Deborah and we could not be happier with her. She is perfect for teaching young children. I've already recommended Bellas Artes to other parents!“

“Great service, and amazing lessons. Has a good selection of instruments. Also great for repairs!“

“My son LOVES the early childhood classes at Sing With Emily! All of the instructors are so talented and wonderful with the kids. I love that my son gets to be in the class with students both younger and older than him. He gets exposed to all kinds of music and concepts that we can easily incorporate into activities at home. :)“

“I don't have to say something about Schilke company. It is one of the TOP brass company.
I had the pleasure to visit Schilke store and Bennett that is a terrific person. He help me with everything. Bennett from the 1st minute tried make me feel like home. He show me trumpets and let me try some of the finest models of Schilke trumpets.
After he showed me the back place of the company that creates the brass instruments. I saw by myself that everything is hand-made and the quality is TOP.
So I want to thank Bennett for his kindness and help. And to say that Schilke was, is and it will be the TOP trumpet company. I hope to visit again one day“

“Been taking guitar, piano and bass lessons here since 2020. Mike is amazing and the real deal. Even Carol at the front is spectacular. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and to put it simply…the real deal. The pricing is competitive and affordable. We will never go anywhere else!!“

“Highly recommend! My two kids have been learning cello here with Ruth Mudge for years, and she is absolutely fantastic. She is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and makes every lesson fun. She also demonstrates techniques beautifully on her own cello and provides piano accompaniment during lessons and recitals.

​On top of that, the school's owner, Steven, is so kind and supportive. He puts on regular recitals that give the kids constant opportunities to perform (and the recitals are at no extra cost!).

​We couldn’t ask for a better teacher or a more welcoming school environment.“
