Established in the fall of 2004 from an association of professional music instructors, Sound Factory Music School has grown into one of the finest private music institutions in the Kitchener-Waterloo region. Their success comes from the calibre of their hand-picked and entirely professional teaching faculty and from their flexibility and attention to the individual requirements of their students and their families. The Sound Factory was created for people of all ages and ability levels and is recognized for its outstanding teaching faculty, community service, and commitment to lifelong learning. They believe that music education isn't about just playing a musical instrument; it is essential to a person's overall development. While not many kids are destined to become professional musicians, music education cultivates a full array of essential life skills that can serve them well, no matter what road they take in life.

SOUND FACTORY MUSIC SCHOOL REVIEWS
Our experience with Sound Factory Music School has been first-class in every respect. Our daughter has taken guitar lessons with Joe Dunn for more than 5 years. Joe is amazing! Professional yet personable. He understands children and sets expectations perfectly to challenge and encourage simultaneously. A great teacher overall with excellent technical knowledge, practical experience as a musician, and personal warmth and kindness in relationships. As well, the school is extremely well-managed by James Stockton. Communication has been punctual and thorough, even through challenging times like the pandemic! Schedules and occasional blips have been handled with flexibility and respect. Two thumbs way up!
Our son has taken bass guitar and now electric guitar lessons through Sound Factory Music and has had an excellent experience with both teachers. Both Darius and Mike are accomplished musicians who have shared their love of music through their teaching. They have inspired, gently challenged, and encouraged my son at every step. I would highly recommend this studio.
We have been with Sound Factory for almost 8 years. They were the only school that were willing to take on a four year old little man who was fiercely in love with Drums. He has been playing with Sound Factory every since and has now added 6 years on Guitar and a year in vocal as well. His sister also does vocal (4 years) with Sound Factory.

ADRIAN JONES MUSIC SCHOOL REVIEWS
Great music school, with amazing staff who care about their students. They provide unique opportunities for their students, young and old, like rock band camps and weekend workshops, and a great mix of teachers in person or online to suit every student. They don't just teach music, they foster a love for it. The community they create for the rockin' kids and adults is amazing.
This is the best music school for the coolest people inc. all ages and it has been voted that multiple times. Whether voice or instrument. Here and at the Elora location. No pressure from all the trained professionals who teach here. They also offer adult and youth rock band camps to past and present students. Awesome way to meet like-minded people and it's never TOO EARLY OR TO LATE to rock. :-) Love the teachers
My family has been taking lessons with AJMS for several years and has included instruction for: voice, piano, guitar, drums and bass guitar. My kid joined rock band camp this year and I was amazing at how much progress he made in only one week!

LONG & MCQUADE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS REVIEWS
Great place! So helpful and amazing customer service. I had noticed the ukulele I bought in October (six months ago) had started sounding funny, so I brought it in and they fixed the one string rattling, but then realised another string was off too because the neck was bowed. So they replaced it with an entire new ukulele, for free, with the one year warranty starting again from today. Amazing. Outstanding. 10/10 would buy from them again!
All I wanted was a capo and picks which the attendant helped me find really quickly. But they have quite the selection of guitars and bass however. Might visit again. They are also open late which is nice and they rent instruments too.
I visited this store at Waterloo area's. It is amazing and every thing you can buy for your music hobby. Staff is so intelligent.
