I was new to the Saxophone and wanted to learn, these guys are great, unfortunately work stepped in and I stopped. I plan to go back. Music makes life great

Great place! Had two kids different ages attend, and after only two lessons the kids were already improving and liked to practice! The teachers are encouraging and very good at teaching. Staff is friendly, and the times work great. Great price for what you are getting.

I go here every week and take guitar lessons followed by band lessons and it is the best music experience in this area, it is great for young musicians who are so willing to learn and the teaching staff is so helpful

So honored that my son attends this school for both his bass and band lessons. Extremely experienced teachers who not only teach music but teach kids to appreciate music of all genres. They have a rock band program that my son has been in for four years. They play gigs at the Hard Rock Cafe, Zen West and the 8x10 just to name a few. They get experience in teamwork, writing, and performing.

For his individualized Bass lessons? The instructors let him have fun with rock music but insist he learn jazz and blues as well. They understand that a solid music foundation is what makes musicians great. My son is taught to not only play Rush and AC/DC but also BB King and Stevie Ray Vaughan as well. Can't impress upon you more how great this school is.

The people at Music Workshop are amazing. My 21 year old son has autism and when I first called to inquire about piano lessons for him Jim, the owner, didn't even hesitate. He set my son up for weekly lessons with Sean McCahill and we couldn't be happier. Even though he can be difficult to teach, Sean is patient and kind and treats my son with respect.

He has learned so much in the last five months and he loves music even more now that he knows chords and is reading music. We feel welcome and accepted at the Music Workshop - what could be better than that?
