VAN HALTEREN MUSIC CENTRE REVIEWS

Amazing staff! Great atmosphere. They didn't try to separate me from my money, and sell me the wrong stuff. Instead they talked to me like a human and were so helpful and knowledgeable. I'd give them an extra star if I could. The other music store I went to no one would even help me, and I was so frustrated. Now I have the RIGHT instrument for me. It even came set up off the rack. I couldn't be happier right now. Thank you so much guys!

I lile going here to find those little gems that you don't always find at the chain stores. The selection isnt huge, the store is a bit old and unorganized feeling, but I have found some great gear in there and have often enjoyed talking with the staff. If you are in the area it is well worth stopping in to say hi, talk music, and to find something unique and special.

Really helpful staff. I had a question about an instrument on my bucket list (I want to learn to play the harp one day), and even though they knew I wasn't planning on making a purchase any time soon, the staff still gave my all sorts of information on pricing and availability as well as tips on which harp would be the best option for me as a beginner.

MORRISON MUSIC REVIEWS

Working with Graeme on the bass guitar has been a fantastic experience. As someone who has been away from music for many years, I appreciate his patience and constant encouragement. Graeme provides a perfect balance between a structured lesson and opportunities for me to share music I am interested in learning. If you are new to music or have been away from it for a while and want to get back into it, I highly recommend you consider Graeme for lessons!

My daughter has been wanting to learn how to play the guitar for a long time. Graeme is a common topic of conversation in our house now because my daughter thinks he is the coolest! Graeme is professional, kind, accommodating and flexible. He has instilled a love of playing guitar in my daughter. Her very first lesson he asked her what song she wanted to learn and he taught it to her at her next lesson. We are definitely going to be repeat customers.

As one of Graeme’s ‘older’ students (60+) it has been fun and very rewarding learning to play a new instrument. Graeme quickly figured out the best learning style for me. He is very patient and encouraging. I am surprised how much I have learned and progressed after only a few lessons. I highly recommend Graeme. He really is a fantastic teacher!
