PRO MUSIC SCHOOL REVIEWS

Lovely, professional service. Klaudia at Pro Music is so incredibly welcoming, we love coming into the studio every week for my daughter's piano lesson. We have had to change our schedule on many occasions, Klaudia was extremely efficient and quick to find us a more convenient time and another teacher for my daughter's piano lessons. Each teacher we have had the pleasure of working with has been absolutely wonderful, they have been supportive in each teaching style, and they have all had a fantastic rapport with my daughter. We highly recommend Pro Music.

I have had my kids at Pro music for almost 7 years now. The staff has always been incredibly pleasant, helpful, knowledgeable and professional. I have seen my kids develop incredible skills from all the classes, as they have continued to move up in the programs provided. My son has been taking private piano lessons for a few years and he loves it. I can't thank Pro Music and the staff enough for working with my kids to develop their musical ability and skills. I highly recommend Pro Music!!

We love Pro Music! The format works really well for our family. The group piano lessons format has helped get my daughter engaged in piano in an approachable, fun way. And the holiday concert performance was amazing! 30 minutes, super positive with everyone cheering on each child - I said to Claudia, I wish I had this approach to learning and appreciating music when I was a kid! I appreciate supporting a talented entreprenuer in this region!

ADRIAN JONES MUSIC SCHOOL REVIEWS

I have been taking lessons from Adrian Jones for many years now. Adrian is by far the best teacher I have had with extensive skill (and patience!). A very good mix of practical and theory building a strong base for learning more. Side benefit is Adrian's music school infrastructure which includes recitals and Band Camps which are super fun and extremely great learning experiences.

Adrian Jones Music School is simply the best way to learn to play instruments and sing with skill and joy! I have worked with AJ for two decades and in that time I have toured overseas, written and recorded eight albums. I can honestly say I wouldn't be the artist I am without Adrian Jones. Knowledgeable, Skillful. Fun! Couldn't recommend him higher.

Great studio. Love my violin lessons. Teachers are professional and patient. Their encouragement keeps me on my musical journey.

LONG & MCQUADE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS REVIEWS

I recently purchased a DJ controller from Long & McQuade, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. From start to finish, Eric Duerrstein provided exceptional service and guidance. His expertise in the field truly shone through as he patiently answered all my questions and helped me find the perfect equipment for my needs. The store itself boasts a wide selection of musical instruments and equipment, making it a one-stop destination for any musician or DJ. The staff members are friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to assist. I highly recommend Long & McQuade to anyone in search of quality musical instruments and excellent customer service. And if you're lucky enough to work with Eric, you're in for a truly exceptional experience. Five stars all around!

I had such a great experience here last week! A really nice girl working there helped me get a bass guitar & amp rental. I’m completely new and just learning bass, so I was a bit worried I might be judged going in there with no knowledge - but she was so kind and helpful!! Will definitely be coming back and continuing to rent instruments (and hopefully buy soon) here!

I chose an audio interface for my needs and came here with a lot of questions. Very professional staff. God a very good consultation. Thank you for your patience with all of my questions! :) My best recommendation.
