This company has a lot of experience with organ repair and installation on a state and national basis. They recently completed an installation of a reconditioned Schantz organ of 1890 pipes and 29 ranks at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and Day School in Tampa, Florida. Their work ethic is exemplary, their word is Gold, and their attention to detail is beyond description! Thank You GT! I’ve added some photos.
4. Midlothian Music
Address: 15645 S 94th Ave, Orland Park, IL 60462 , Homer Glen , Illinois , United States
Great customer service and tons of instruments to purchase.
Its very hard as a musician to find a music store that you trust with your expensive music equipment or trust to sell you expensive gear. Look no further, there is a fantastic and knowledgeable team of employees at midlothian music. I am blown away with how kind and helpful they are, every time I’ve been in the store I genuinely feel the passion and respect they have for music and their customers. I highly recommend midlothian music for your musical needs!
Not many stores like this are around anymore. We were there recently, these guys are very knowledgeable about the business. We’ve purchased several instruments with these guys over the years and had some repaired there for free! Who does that? Highly recommend going here!
I love all the products but at times the service was bad, other visits there were good service. Thanks!
The owner of the shop spoke to me very rudely and insisted that I was trying to sell my instrument at “retail” price, even though I obviously researched beforehand… why would I try to sell a used instrument at retail price? He refused to give me his best offer or even look at my instrument. Wouldn’t recommend this place at all. Save your time
Nothing but crooks here. Horrible customer service skills. Rude staff. High prices nothing here is worth your time or money. Take your buisness elsewhere.
The owner was outraged when i returned a crappy guitar I bought. He even started yelling when i did not purchase a different one….
5. Digging Records
Address: 14107 S Parker Rd, Homer Glen, IL 60491 , Homer Glen , Illinois , United States
They were Awesome! Everyone enjoy their musical selections!! So many people dancing in a restaurant! It was simply amazing and heartwarming to see!
Great Music
We worked with Jimmy and Rhonda on our wedding day. They were absolutely amazing. We received so many compliments from our guests. They are so professional and so positive. All of our guests had a great time. Thank you both SO MUCH for making our day even more special!!
Very friendly, fast appointment from the time of the initial call, he restored a standup piano that was pretty badly out of tune in just a few hours. Very affordable and flexible too. If you’re in the SW ‘burbs and need a piano tuned, call Chris!
8. Meijer
Address: 14169 S Bell Rd, Homer Glen, IL 60491 , Homer Glen , Illinois , United States
Clean, well organized store. Helpful staff. Great prices. Love this place.
Their pharmacy is staffed with fantastic, customer focused employees. I specifically want to recognize two individuals – Emily and Amanda who go above and beyond to provide outstanding customer service. My family has used Meijer Pharmacy for 10+ years and Amanda and Emily always always go above and beyond to assist. They are both so kind, knowledgeable, and customer focused. In fact, every employee in the pharmacy are extremely kind. My wife and I enjoy Amanda and Emily though. Really awesome people. Shout out to Amanda and Emily for being customer focused and #awesome.
Great store
Good place to shop has everything
I love this store and go there frequently, but since covid, they closed the dressing rooms and now completely got rid of them. It’s a shame, there are some nice clothes, but if you can’t try them on, why bother? Now you see people literally trying clothes on in the aisles . I was actually told by a sales associate that I can buy it and try it on home and return it. Who wants to go through that hassle? It shouldn’t be that difficult.
Good produce
This is for the online delivery service that they provide. I spent an hour shopping online and then another hour going back and forth with the “shopper” about what items were not available and what they can replace it with. The shopper was great and notified me every step of the way. However, once it came time to process my order she was not able to. She tried calling the service line and after that I receive a call from them saying that my order has been cancelled. They would not provide me with any explanation what so ever. I was going to just pick up the order, but I had many frozen items that were probably melted so I decided to not even waste my time. When I called Meijers customer support, they too were unhelpful and not able to give me any explanation as to why my order was canceled. I’m completely disappointed in Meijers’s customer service and the entire experience . I have been a long time customer of Meijers, but will no longer be shopping there. My time has been wasted and this has also caused me unnecessary stress during an already stressful time.
Looked online for a product and it showed product was in stock and ready for pickup. I drove to the store and couldn’t find product, went to customer service counter to ask for help finding product and was told the item was not available. Asked why the item was showing in stock online line and was told in stock didn’t mean is would be on the shelf! So what does in stock mean? Was told it means the item was recently in store but sold out!!!
They never have any products also no help the grill in the meat market is never open
9. Axes Music Group
Address: 19715 South La Grange Road Suite 3, Mokena, IL 60448 , Homer Glen , Illinois , United States
Words cannot describe the incredible service Axes Music has provided me for years. Not only have the incredible talented staff taught me how to play many instruments, they have carefully guided me into a career in music which I absolutely love. This business is absolutely incredible and each and every member of their staff is extremely talented, and very friendly. Overall Axes Music is the place to go for music lessons, instrument service, and professional recording.
Great teachers and lessons
The best. Whatever you need, just go talk to them…
10. The Music Connection
Address: 10751 165th St STE 104, Orland Park, IL 60467 , Homer Glen , Illinois , United States
Ms. Elena is an amazing instructor who genuinely invests her time and effort into helping her students reach their full potential.
The Music Connection is a wonderful studio. I have all three of my kids with Mr. David and Ms. Natalie. They are both excellent teachers!
Shoutout to Michele and Cody they are great at their customer service and communication. They managed to help me fit both my kids’ music lessons into the times and dates I wanted. They offer both in person and zoom lessons; which was convenient. This place has amazing teachers. They are dedicated and professional.
11. Brendel’s Piano Services
Address: 12340 Wolf Rd, Palos Park, IL 60464 , Homer Glen , Illinois , United States
This guy showed up on time, easy to work with. Did a great job tuning my piano.
I’ve used Mr. Brendel for piano tuning my upright and then two baby grand pianos for nearly 30 years. It’s easy to make an appointment, he’s always on time, efficient, an excellent tuner and easy to talk to and work with. Highly recommended.
Unbelievable quality and service. I’ve used Mr. Brendel for many years to tune and maintain our piano and he always does a phenomenal job.
12. McMusic Lessons Lemont
Address: 2 E Eureka Dr, Lemont, IL 60439 , Homer Glen , Illinois , United States
Instructor Kevin is very knowledgeable about piano/music. He takes his time for each student so that they can have a strong foundation and go from there when performing. Would recommend.
13. House of Music
Address: 14426 John Humphrey Dr, Orland Park, IL 60462 , Homer Glen , Illinois , United States
I had a wonderful experience here. The nice young lady at the counter, Bri, was especially helpful. All of the staff members were extremely professional and very responsible especially during Covid. 10/10 recommendation.
Really awesome crew here that love what they teach…music. My 8 year old is in drums with Rob and he is great with my kid and the other kids I see him with. So much better than Midlothian music.
Great music teachers that focus on teaching their students to become musicians.
Staff’s kind n’ “mentorly” (that’s a word, right?). They mostly sell guitars, but I have seen a drum set, an accordion, and a few keyboards there too. Not very traditional in their approach to teaching instruments, they don’t really go over music theory. If you’re looking for a laid back approach to learning guitar, drums, etc, you’ve got a good chance here.
My son has been learning piano with them for almost a year. Their teachers are also unstable. The working teacher also has a bad attitude. It’s a very bad experience!
Waste of time.
I stopped by this shop recently to inquire about music lessons for my 7 year old son. I was greeted by the owner who had his face mask dangling half off of his face. You would think that during a global pandemic the owner would take more care in making sure the students in his care are safe, this guy can’t even wear a mask correctly. Also, all the instruments they had for sale looked cheap.
14. Lettuce Play
Address: 1300 Ravinia Pl, Orland Park, IL 60462 , Homer Glen , Illinois , United States
My son received piano and drum instruction from Mr. Bill. He was very patient with my then, 8 year old son and my son grew to love music because of it. My son is a talker and often would shift focus to things other than the instruction. Like a seasoned father and grandfather, Mr. Bill would engage in the conversation allowing my son to feel heard, then, gently nudge him back to the lesson.
Mr. Bill never made us feel like he didn’t have time or like we were on the clock. I know that he is running a business and has appointments at certain times, which he was always punctual to, but somehow he always made us feel like we were people and not just customers. I truly believe he cares about what he does and ensuring that clients have the best experience when they interact with him. My son (now 17 y/o) still plays the piano. We changed instructors because Lettuce Play was just too far from our house. But, I highly recommend Lettuce Play. And I wish Mr. Bill the best!
Bill is a great instructor with a well of knowledge. Patience but expects you to hold up your end as a student. Many years of experience and eager to share it
15. Second Wind Music
Address: Kelly Ave, Crest Hill, IL 60403 , Homer Glen , Illinois , United States
Second Wind Music has gone above and beyond my expectations. I had my heirloom of a wooden clarinet fully restored to it’s glory days with complete care. I appreciate his attention to detail and communication with the process. I highly recommend having any work done at Second Wind Music.
16. The Jesse Perez Experience
Address: 16424 S Cypress Cir, Lockport, IL 60441 , Homer Glen , Illinois , United States
Jesse is as solid as a rock icon. He knows a thousand songs and his voice is incredible. Love to listen to him. Never know what’s next
I saw Jesse for the first time on 8/25 in Lockport. I enjoyed his performance very much. He had some very nice arrangements of classics and his voice is strong and a pleasure to listen to.
17. B-Side Records
Address: 114 Stephen St, Lemont, IL 60439 , Homer Glen , Illinois , United States
Such a great place. Huge variety of vinyls. Everyone there is very friendly
Awesome place. Organized and stocked, great owners!!! Support your local record store!!
Nice people, excellent selection. Well organized and not overwhelming. Good for novice and expert alike! Will be there often!
Calm and soothing atmosphere. Very well organized and laid out. Easy to find what you are looking for and everything is priced and affordable.
This place is awesome with a great selection. Every time I want to go here it’s closed, the hours are pretty strange.
This is a really nice record store for vintage used vinyl. They throw away stuff that isn’t playable. Almost every sleeve is at least VG quality. You’ll be underwhelmed if you’re looking for new albums, but if vintage stuff is what you’re looking for, you’ll enjoy this store. Prices are a little high – Purple Dog in Naperville has many of the same titles for less money.
18. Tom Peters Guitar School
Address: 854 N State St, Lockport, IL 60441 , Homer Glen , Illinois , United States
Been taking lessons for years.
Learned so much.
Still can get enough.
Thanks
Excellent teacher. Knowledgeable in all genres. Patient and professional.
I’ve been going there for over 10+ years and Tom has always been such a great teacher and friend!!! I really recommend him if you are really advanced , or even just starting as a beginner. He still gives constructive feedback and always teaches you new ways to improve and to add on to your guitar playing . He is very well with teaching adults and kids and always remains professional but still keeps a nice environment for anyone to be taught there. So I really hope anyone reading this review does go to Tom for lessons because if you want to learn in a nice environment , learn guitar the right way and just simply have fun, he is the perfect guy to go to!!!!
