I’ve gone there in the past for instrument repair (clarinet) and found them reasonably priced, and I’ve been pleased with their work. Today I brought my clarinet in for a very quick and easy repair – replacing one small bit of cork. Not only was it quick and easy, but he didn’t charge me! I knew it wouldn’t be expensive, but I did not expect free!
Two bumbling wannabe instrumentalists stroll into Music & Arts Glendora in the hopes of finding direction. Their unassuming kindly sage, Samantha U. offers her wisdom, empowering their dreams to become reality.
Really good deal on my son’s instrument. The staff was helpful and polite. The instrument was also delivered to the store location within the time frame that was stated, everywhere else has been delayed.
This Glendora Ca. store was condensed with easy to view merchandise, polite staff. Some real bargains in written music. Fast easy shop.
Nice staff, very welcoming and helpful
About 5 years ago I brought a recorder in and asked for a thumb rest for it. Instead of ordering the $5 removable factory thumb rest which was made for that model, they installed an ill-fitting 3rd-party metal thumb rest with screws that are so long that they protrude inside the barrel, so that if the thumb rest were ever removed, it would leave holes in the barrel. Worse, they charged me $65 for this junky little metal piece and the 5 minutes of labor to install it. When I complained, they blew me off.
I will never go back there.
I see that they’ve been acquired by Music & Arts, which resulted in a name change, but it sounds like it’s still the same folks running the store, so my review will stand.
I had a flute and a piccolo repaired here. They didn’t do a good job. My piccolo was given back to me with hot glue strands hanging off of it and a small wooden piece wedged into a pad. When I complained about the piccolo, they simply clipped of the glue strands and handed it back. It was clear that they would not be able to make it better. I had to take the instruments to another shop to have them rerepaired. I won’t be back.
The customer service I received at this store was fine given the circumstances. The review is for my overall experience ordering from Music and Arts.
I ordered two items that, according to the order page, were supposed to be shipped to this store and ready for pick up within 2-7 days. One item was ready the next day, but it took 3 weeks for the rest of my order to arrive. When I went to pick my order up, the first item was present, but the second item was not in its packaging. I waited three weeks for an empty bag.
If I had known that it would have taken three weeks to be disappointed, I would have rather have taken five minutes to look in the mirror.

Called the store Micheal answered the phone , helped me figure out what cable would work for my mixer for the gig I was playing that day, he found it and I picked it up right away! Great customer service! Thanks again Micheal!
Great Customer service, all your instrumental needs are here. I brought my vintage guitar that needed restringing and was advised excellent by the guitar specialist. I know nothing about guitars and am very happy.
Jamie and Stephanie were fantastic! Extremely helpful and customer oriented.
Bought a jbl speaker from here, nice and clean place and great location, the o my downside is some of the staff really pressure you into buying their warranty, they make you feel stupid if you don’t, whatever happened to just taking good care of your stuff??
Great location , helpful staff
The service was alright, it was quick and there weren’t any problems that we had. They were able to answer any questions we had.
Nobody ever wants to help out here. Either they’re too busy chatting it up with each other over last nights party, or are too pretentious to even make eye contact with you. This place is useless. To me, it’s become showroom, buy from Amazon instead.
One of the sales representatives scammed my friend into unnecessarily buying a more expensive product. I almost called him out but didn’t want to make a scene.
They prey on people who may not know what they need.
This is why I never shop at Guitar Center. Scummy employees.
No tenían la guitarra que queria ver

Long time distributor for my retail store. Good quality products and service.
The owner is incredibly rude and has no sense of customer service. You are better dealing with other wholesale distributors in the area who have great customer service and better pricing.

My son loves his classes with Leslie Aguila. He looks forward to learning more about the violin and new songs to play. He seems excited each week for his lesson.
Applause Music Academy is the BEST! My 6 year old took Piano lesson via zoom and we got unbelievable results. She started her piano lesson without pre-knowledge and in 8 month she already played Beethoven and more. Her teacher Dr. Tig is very professional, very caring, encouraging and always gives the necessary time. Dr. Tig is very creative to bring out best in the students. Thanks to her, my daughter fell in love with music and piano. We are blessed to have Applause Music Academy! Their investment in my child’s musical education is priceless!
My daughter Sydney is learning piano with Dr Tig more than one year. Dr Tig is professional and has experience on teaching kids. My daughter loves to go to the piano class. She has a lot of progress on her piano. This year she took the CM test on her piano, it was amazing.
She also take the violin lessons here with Ms Abi. Ms Abi is very nice, patient and always encouraging. She has no stress to learn an new instrument because of Ms Abi’s teaching methods.

Address: 123 N Glendora Ave, Glendora, CA 91741 , Glendora , California , United States
My son is really enjoying his piano lessons and Mr. Edwin is a very patient instructor.
Both of my kids, ages 9 and 12, attend Glendora Music and Arts. They are loving the instructors and the individual lessons they receive. Highly recommend.
Staff was friendly and welcoming. My kids are taking drum and piano lessons and they both really enjoyed it.
We began working with Top Billing in the summer of 2019 when our daughter participated in their summer show “Lion King Jr.”. She had such a great experience and we were so impressed with the level of professionalism and pride that is exhibited by all their staff and students. We couldn’t wait to take part in a second show this fall and are already looking forward to many more shows in the future. Cannot recommend them enough!
My children have been attending TBE classes for about 2 years. They’ve taken voice lessons, acting, tap, and ballet. My son has been in 2 musicals and 3 recitals. They’ve learned so much and continue to grow confidence on stage. We feel that the academy strives on building a wonderful community and family within the school. Students encourage one another and give their best! We admire all of the hard work the teachers provide for their students in order to succeed outside of the school.
A great studio where my kids have learned and grown so much! Highly recommend!
Coming to this studio was the worst decision I have ever made for my daughter. The staff as well as the owner are terrible people. The staff are not helping my child improve and are doing the exact opposite. My daughter has come home crying on multiple occasions saying she was told to find a new hobby or that she’s not just not good enough to dance. It seems as though the owner just doesn’t give a care in the world and runs away to cry in her office every day. The owner also has a terrible obsession with wasting rehearsal time to talk about how she has half a million dollars as well as a new million dollar house. She also tells the kid that she now has enough money to shut down her business at any time and will if anyone were to misbehave. She has fired many great teachers over the past few years which has had a great impact on the kids. The years my family have been with Top Billing have been the most stressful and depressing years for us. The only good thing that has come from this studio are the friendships my daughter has made over the years. Please make the right decision for yourself as well as your child and do what you think is best.

A month ago I ordered a piano for my son in Spain. As the one they sent was lost (so I was told), they told me they had sent a second one and it would arrive 5 or 7 days later. 12 days have already passed! Now they don’t answer my messages and I’m afraid I just lost my money. I keep delaying this promise to my son. They don’t have any phone number for Spain, in their website, so I don’t know what to do. Am I supposed to call to this US store? 🙁

Giving back to the community! We were treated like honored guests when San Dimas Music & Arts donated a music lesson to our group from Glendora After Stroke Center! We are so grateful to funny and talented teachers George and Mary. They made us feel at ease immediately. Singing together was a beautiful experience, and learning all about the musical scale took it to a deeper level. The shop is attractive and charming, and so are the managers Orion and Landon. If you’re a music lover you owe it to yourself to visit next time you go to Trader Joe’s — these guys are just a few doors down. Music connects us all, and so does the warmth and real giving spirit of the folks at Music & Arts San Dimas!
It’s the best place!
Friendly service, and great inventory. I was able to find sheet music that was not available on Amazon. This place is a gem. I’ll be returning for more.
Was recommended this store by my music teacher. Great store that sells anything you can think of music related. Music & Arts had one employee the day I went in to get a practice book for saxophone, and they were most helpful. Very friendly, and helped me find exactly what I needed. It may not have the same inventory as some of the bigger music stores in the area, but I would definitely recommend Music & Arts if you need something music related.
12:28 pm, Sunday. The teachers and students are waiting for the shop to open.
Please come when you want to lose money with auto-charge. they cancel my son’s drum class and cancel the account without lesson credit back. Very bad experience about auto-charge. And very bad experience on Customer service.
Do they have cellos?
