Jeff is really talented and patient as a teacher. His approach is firm yet easygoing, which keeps my kid interested and excited. When things get complicated and boring, he finds a creative approach. He teachers not only how to read and play music but also to appreciate it. We look forward to our lessons every week.
Jeff can literally do ANYTHING in entertainment and is a gifted teacher with many years experience teaching children and adults. If you live nearby, you should definitely check him out.
Jeff is an incredibly talented teacher and musician! Absolutely recommend.

Highly recommend!!! Excellent staff, quality lessons in a fun environment!!!
Altadena Academy of Music gives students a great advantage in learning any instrument they choose! The students are in a great environment with one on one learning. My daughter is learning piano and is doing very well and excelling.
A deeply caring environment, Rose the receptionist really works hard to schedule and extend flexibility to ensure all get a chance at this great lessons. They have a wide range of instructors with different learning styles, so if one doesn’t mesh it’s easy to change to another. We are extremely fortunate to be so near this fantastic opportunity for our daughter. Give it a try!

Purchased an Englehart with strings, pickup, case and setup. We visited and ate lunch. Great people and experience.
Nothing but compliments on tone.
Thanks Tom
Wow my first instrument my hubby bought here .
My first time here. I brought in my guitar for Lowering the strings action. Tom did an excellent job plus he lubricated the tuners since guitar has not been used for a long time. I was pleasantly surprised. I got my guitar back one day earlier than supposed to. I now have a brand new like guitar. Knowledgeable, professional and very reasonable pricing. I will certainly go back. 5 stars!
Muy buena atención cualquier cosa Qué se ofrece para la instrumento que necesito me ayudan amablemente gracias pronto nos veremos
The Place to get sheet music for any instruments! Because the knowledgeable and friendly staffs so if I am on the way, I don’t mind stop by to pick up some lesson books for my students. Even though I can order most of the music online, I still enjoy coming in here and get lost in the music 🙂
I LOVE Bertrand’s!! They are always exceptional with customer care and service, providing the music I’m looking for, great teachers, and they are always friendly lovely people–amazing family business I love to support.
I love going to the only surviving sheet music store in Pasadena. As a piano teacher I constantly need books for students. But lately I can’t find the books I need at Bertrand’s. The music stacks get thinner and thinner. Even the standard repetoire like Keith Snell “Essential Piano Music” is in short supply. Please keep at least the books that sell in stock so I am not forced onto to Amazon with everyone else. I want to support my local business but you make it hard when you keep shorting the stock. Thank you, -Larry Evans, local piano teacher
Great experience. Knowledgeable staff made the experience nicer and more palatable…
This place is great for brass and guitar, but is lacking in the string department.
Acabo de rentar un instrumento y cuando llegue a casa note que el estuche estába roto asi que llame a la tienda para notificarlo y que lo cambiaran, pero lo
Cambiaron por un case mas viejo, polvoso por dentro ya que el material del interior es como terciopelo
y cuando les pedi que me dieran otro case me dijeron que cambiarían el case solo si pagaba más dinero mensualmente y que lo
Más importante era que el instrumento funcionaba, quizás el case no es tan importante pero es parte de la renta del instrumento y deben estar ambos en buenas condiciones para ser rentables. El hombre que me atendió no tuvo ninguna intención de darme un buen servicio como cliente solo porque la renta del instrumento ya se había hecho dos dias antes. Que situación tan decepcionante.
Terrible over the phone service,had to jump hoops via an automated answering machine, just to ask a question

I cannot say enough good things about Los Angeles Classical Guitar. They were highly responsive to both email and phone inquiries and gave me fantastic customer service. After a very bad experience at another classical guitar store, Billy and LA Classical Guitar were a breath of fresh air.
Spotted the PRS of my dreams on the Wild West Guitars website. Called them up and spoke to Doug Diamond and he made life easy. Quick, pleasant transaction and an unbelievable guitar shipped to me right away for a great price.
Thanks for an awesome experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wild West Guitars is AWESOME! Doug Diamond was a huge help to me getting my new PRS! Gave me a great deal on a trade in! Very helpful! Working with him was by far the best guitar store experience ever! (Especially considering I’m in Iowa…) Will definitely be shopping here again!
THANK YOU WILD WEST GUITARS!!
Excellent service, very helpful staff. Thank you for your kindness and professionalism.
This is really quite an exceptional guitar shopping experience – like another reviewer said, more like a private showroom than a regular guitar shop. The place is in an industrial park and looks like an office from the outside. Inside they have a bunch of offices (I assume dealing with remote sales) but also a few showrooms lined with guitars. The place also includes a live music venue, strangely. Their guitar inventory is really fantastic – for example, fender custom shop guitars. The staff were extremely nice to us and left us largely to our own devices.
I went here on Thursday at 10:30 am, but it wasn’t open…. I don’t know why.
Real cool shop for high end gear. This was my first visit at this location. Interesting gear and very knowledgeable staff.
They “suggest appointments” and totally ignored me standing in showroom for over 15 mins. I came home and bought a guitar online. Tried to support local business but they don’t care i guess.
Garbage seller not to be trusted

Good music stuff that we would always love to choose.
Full of musicians stuff
Dope place to chill
A nice place to get your music stuff, all in one place. Somethings are better to buy on internet.
What’s not to like, guitars you can play. Got an eye on a tele
They didn’t have much of a selection of keyboard
I chose a guitar and when I was about to pay I was informed that it had the wrong tag and that if I wanted I had to pay a 100+ for it. Even after the sales person asked the manager.
False advertisement.
Save the headache and order from sweetwater or make the drive to Hollywood, this store is huge waste of time.
AWFUL customer service. Great variety, but the customer service is excessively slow and the workers are very unfriendly.
I went in to purchase a bass guitar and even though I found a suitable guitar that was moderately priced. The customer service was so horrible, that I left the store empty handed.
Harp In LA is simply the best! Paul and Heidi are fantastic to work with. Whether you’re getting started on your ‘harp journey’ or a seasoned professional, they treat you with caring and respect. Fantastic inventory of harps to purchase and also harps for rent.
Heidi is really sweet and helpful
Adult learning who got into a harp. Paul was great. Patient. Played some samples on each harp. Heidi kept in email contact during the wait process for the harp to arrive. Definitely wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a harp from H in LA. Thank you for my Dusty Strings Serrana 34!

The technician replaced my broken Rytm screen and faceplate for free. Awesome customer service.
this company seems good on the surface, but honestly its a terribly place the way people are treated there. there are far better companies that are far less expensive with the same, or even better capabilities. The old US CEO is gone now, so maybe it has gotten better idk, but he was one of the issues that place had. Good luck to this company they’re gonna need it as I have heard they are not doing so hot.
