Completed our contract and paid in full on a cello rental. Music Hut did not provide us with a full size cello prior to our final payment because he said they were “hard to come by.” I said I didn’t want to make the final payment until we had a full size cello in our possession, but he insisted we had to continue payments because we had signed a contract. One year later, he has all of his money, we still don’t have a full size cello and he is now claiming we never asked for a full size cello within the terms of the contract. Very bad business practice!! He won’t return our phone calls. Do not rent from this business. Get your string instruments from a real violin shop. If you search the Better Business Bureau, you’ll see he did the same thing to another customer with a violin.
I wish I could give a 1/2 star. I contacted Music Hut months ago about getting a full size cello for my son as he had outgrown his 3/4 size. Andre told me that a) my son (at almost 6 feet tall) didn’t need a full size cello and b) that full size cellos were hard to come by. How is a full size cello hard to come by when you are in the business of musical instruments?? He said he would let me know when he got one in. Months later, our contract isn’t up and the only contact Andre has had with me is to mail a bill. I’ve left messages, sent emails, put notes in the bills asking him to contact me, with no response from him. I’m beyond frustrated, Music Hut is just attempting to collect money without having to do anything. Avoid them!

I looked them up on Google sear)dear land they had exactly what I wanted for the right cheap enough prices
Everyone is always super friendly helpful and knowledgeable.
place is stocked with merchandise and staff are very helpful.
A decent inventory of used tube amps. Rivera, Marshall, Orange, Vox, etc. Service is OK. Fair prices.
I bought a Epiphone 335 guitar on 12/7/20 from Guitar Center, but the case was on back order. I waited a month to find out that it was pushed out again till June 2021. Fed up, i googled music stores and called this one. Visited today with my guitar, and I found/purchased a great case for a fair price. Staff was friendly and helpful. I’ll definitely come back! Highly recommend!
Been coming here for 10 years and its always been hit or miss.
Will be taking my business elsewhere from now on. Old dude upfront with short white hair is unfriendly and unhelpful. Don’t go here.
Low quality music store. Staff is not helpful. Won’t ship to former local who is now out of state and won’t allow a friend to pickup for them after purchase. Pawn law or not, there are ways to help people out if you are willing.
If so wwq and the

My teenage stepdaughter had a blast participating in a theater production. The instructors are very covid-conscious which made me comfortable sending her for in-person rehearsals. She will be auditioning again for the next season.
We’ve been going to Neighborhood Music Stapleton for about 3 years (we started when the “school” was in Skye’s basement) and have had wonderful experiences. My kids take piano, ukulele and voice lessons, plus they’ve taken part in theatrical productions and summer camps. The owner, Skye, really cares about the kids and goes out of her way to make sure kids are having a good experience. My son is dyslexic and has ADHD and would have been miserable if he’d had the structured, bland instruction I remember from my own childhood. His teacher works with him to understand music in meaningful ways and uses a non-traditional approach that has kept him engaged and learning for years. My daughter, on the other hand, is intense and serious and thrives on structure and a balance of pushing/supporting. She’s had 3 teachers since starting and they’ve all been excellent- matches -the only downside is that these musicians are so good, sometimes they move off to NYC to be famous. There are lots of opportunities for kids to try new things and to build confidence and character in performances/recitals. We love this place, and this approach and plan to continue going for a long time!!
Wow! What an amazing place for kids. This theatre program is top notch!! They continue to amaze me with the variety of programs available and the quality of work the kids produce. There is something for everyone. We love it!
Just heard about the sale of NMS. A few years ago I for sure would have given NMS 5 stars but we chose to remove both of our kids this year because the emphasis seemed to shift on celebrating the students and recognizing the teacher to celebrating the owner. We started with this business 11 years ago when it was in the owner’s personal home and loved every second of our daughter’s journey from voice lessons to violin and viola and eventually composition class as she got older. Our son also started there for drums/piano. Something shifted majorly and it rippled it’s way down to the kids and that’s when we had enough. I always want to cheer on female business owners and was so excited to see all the things this owner accomplished but along the way she stopped celebrating and highlighting the staff and teachers that helped her build this dream. Staff changes were frequent and abrupt which for sure impacts the lessons. Staff seemed unprofessional and abrasive which is unfortunate for the adults interacting with them but also was felt by the kids. The last straw for us was when a staff member gave his two week notice which were told about but then an hour or so later we were updated that his departure was effective after that evening’s class. He taught both my children so we purchased a going away gift and that night when we gifted it to him, he replied” I have two weeks left”. She never told him she ended his contract immediately after he gave two weeks so we ultimately were the ones to tell him that his schedule was wiped. It was terrible, my daughter was in tears, my son was so sad. I hope the new owners can restore the “school” piece of this in that the celebrations are of the students and the kudos shared between teachers and staff and owners. A business is a business for sure, but this is primarily a school for children and lately has felt everything but that.
Incredibly rude and unprofessional office staff!!
The recital this year was not very well organized in my opinion.
Music teachers should walk along with their students (especially younger ones) on the stage not only to help boost their confidence but catch little keynotes they might have forgotten during the performance.
My 5yo daughter started piano classes earlier this year and she isn’t close to proficiency yet. We worked so hard to get her to remember her whole song and practiced with an audience at home (the entire family of course)
On the day of her recital, she was so excited! She walked up to the front introduced herself and the song she was going to play then sat and started. The first few keynotes were great, then afterward a total meltdown, nervous, scared, forgot everything, the piano was completely different from what she normally practiced with at home. Imagine how the rest of our evening went…
My hope and prayer is for her to be able to conquer her fear in the future
My daughter participated in an international trip that was organized by the owner. It was poorly organized, she misrepresented the cost and the experiences they would have, over priced, and with few opportunities to do much outside the hotel after the morning music program. 1 week before they left we were told we had to find a way to have the girls pay for their meals since they would no longer be included during the 2 week trip. The staff was rude and disrespectful. If this group shows up at your kids school to organize a trip, run like hell.
Very good place to shop and the manager Marcel is super hottt
This has been the music spot since back in the day! Love this place, think I even have a t-shirt from them.
Love this location and employees have always been helpful and pleasant with me. Thanks.
The store on Broadway far outshines this one in every way…not much to choose from here…will stick with the Broadsay store.
It’s small and dank. Not well kept but it will do in a pinch.
Decent selection and some really good prices. Check used vinyls carefully at this location. The Broadway location is better about ensuring used vinyls aren’t scratched to hell.
They close early for no reason and don’t leave notes on door stating why they are closed.
Had a fine selection, everything was a bit unorganized and hard to navigate though. The prices on some of the records are crazy, especially for second hand stuff.
Brought in some movies to trade, told me they would look it over and call me back. Never received a call, they just took my movies. Plus the whole place smells like cigarette smoke.
