My very first piano lesson at 45 years old was with Ellsworth Music School. I had the sweetest piano teacher, Janet H. She taught me so much in two years. She was not only my piano mentor but she became my friend. She challenged me and made me toe the line. I'd still be a piano student had we not moved to Colorado. Thanks for the memories and friendship Ellsworth!

I was looking for a Amp for my acoustic guitar and the young man there showed me the most affordable one with my budget and played a tune on the amp for me! Impressive! I bought the Amp!

Repairs less than satisfactory, had a guitar repair that left my guitar damaged, they restrung the guitar and charged me for the strings without asking if I wanted it done first and restrung it terribly. Had a saxophone repair too, when I got it back it was only halfway fixed. Good place if you need a reed but would not get repairs from here.

My grandson and I was in yesterday to purchase a guitar. The female employee stayed at the register and never asked us if we needed assistance. We did however play and chose a guitar to buy. I have had a guitar repaired there a few years ago and the service was great. Not so much this visit.

Really great music store. The prices are a bit high but also negotiable. Most of the staff is friendly and seem very inclusive. The only reason I knocked off two stars is because of the private lessons. We had at least one transaction that was never resolved from a cancellation. The biggest issue was my violin teacher (S. A.). She was nice and knowledgeable but very unresponsive, a bit flighty and pushy.

The last couple times I had to cancel, I never got a response from her. Then I informed her that I'd be taking a break from lessons since we were busy with our move, and again, no response or acknowledgement. I even told her I would let her know when I was ready to start back up, but after that, obviously I will not be returning to her again. Very disappointed but relieved to cut ties and move on in my violin journey.

I have found this music store to be very good because of the quality of the instruction my children received through the instructors; my daughter is learning a lot and enjoying the violin again. My son started taking cello lessons here a few years back;, I was very pleased with his progress. I purchased a cello and a violin through the store and was happy with the value.
