As a music instructor myself, I can very highly recommend Ms Hallie as an accomplished teacher. She is GREAT with kids, and wonderful for adults, too. We have to drive a bit further than I was initially planning, but she is totally worth the drive!! I’m so very glad that I found such a skilled instructor for both violin and flute!
my son loves his teacher!!
Hallie is a delight and I am constantly counting the days till our next lesson. She understands her students well and has fun ways of teaching. 🙂
Bob was very helpful and patient. He’s knowledgeable too about pianos and efficient on his job.
Piano Distributers is a wonderful place to shop for pianos. When l go, Karen is always there to greet me with a smile. She’s a very helpful person with a lot of product knowledge that cares about her customers. Thank you very much.
The store is manned by a large male that smoked multiple cigarettes in the 10 minutes we were there. My husband was looking to play multiple pianos to determine which one he likes. The man greeted us with “I guess I can sell you a piano but make it fast” which we thought was weird. The place was not closing for many hours so we continued in. As my husband was playing, this guy kept following us and making one of the electronic pianos play songs loudly which was greatly distracting. We kept moving to different pianos as to have less noise but this guy kept doing the same wherever we went which was incredibly rude. We were specially looking at grand pianos that are quite expensive and not being able to play them without the sales man being rude was disappointing. Needless to say, we decided to leave and take our business elsewhere.

Wonderful customer service and great product selection! Definitely recommend!
Online business but Michael is very friendly and willing to help out local guys with guitar building. Call before you come out though and make sure he’s around and not too busy.
They did a great set-up and spa treatment on my Gibson electric. It looks and plays like it should. Two of the nicest folks you would hope to meet. I will be going back to them again.
Great people with old school customer service, who want to help the customer.
Amazing deals. Mom and pop shop.
I want to rock….
Over priced but nice people
Local lessons by knowledgeable staff. Was a super cramped placed a lesson room seems small. The amount of instruments on the wall was very good, very nice selection. We came for a repair and it was a quick drop off with no issues. The biggest issue was the cleanliness of the restroom. So gross and no soap.
My family and I went to patronize this small business to find my 3 year old son some drum sticks and not only were we not kindly welcomed into the store, my son was asked not to touch anything (in a music shop) especially not the drums. After removing my son from the drum set we were shown to the room where the sticks were. As my husband (who is a musician) was looking through the sticks, we were approached again to pretty much just grab a pair because they were all the same and the lady stood over our shoulders until we basically told her we would go somewhere else. In a world where we don’t know each others troubles and where small businesses are really having a hard time staying alive, it would be nice to be treated with more respect when someone attempts to keep their money in the small business realm. Don’t waste your time. I’d literally give zero stars if I could.
Extremely rude personnel.
Rude….should be shut down due to how they treat customers.

A+ Highly recommend Paragon. They really are passionate about music and sincerely care about the students. We were able to try out different instruments before deciding. Fair prices. Excellent customer service for repairs. Great expertise. Really great people! My daughter got the trumpet for band at school.
Awesome place! Go see Kyle, he’s amazing! Super nice, patient guy who really knows how to teach!
They gave excellent and rapid service to repair my son’s instrument. I highly recommend their services!
Called to make sure they had an instrument, they said yes but it required I come in for a credit check then they ship it from Clearwater. Drove almost an hour to this place, filled out their form, gave them my social, unlocked my credit files and left only for them to call me 15 minutes later and say they never actually checked if the instrument was available and they had none to rent.
Daft staff told me an instrument was in stock and 30 minutes later when I arrived it was not
18. TR Music & Voice Lessons
Address: 18507 Kingbird Dr, Lutz, FL 33558 , Northdale , Florida , United States
Our 9 year old son has been receiving guitar lessons with Ms. Maria for about 2 years now and we could not be happier with the progress and achievements he has had over that time. Ms. Maria ensures that the sessions are fun, interactive, and clear for our young son both in-person ore-pandemic and via Zoom during the pandemic. Not only has his play excelled but he has learned how to read music which has allowed him to pick up new songs much quicker.
The TR team has been nothing but fantastic to our family and has propelled my son to choose to pursue a music degree in college. We have been with Stephan and his team for about 4 years. My son had started to play the guitar just 6 months earlier and really wanted to be part of a band.
Ever year, my daughter takes the piano exam and she has been receiving very good result! In the beginning, I thought that it was too hard for a age 5 kid to study the theory, however, Ms. Annie made it very easy for my daughter to understand and she almost got perfect score on her Theory too. Highly recommend

Clean store, friendly and hopeful staffs. Good job

Customer service is non-existent. I went to ask for assistance after waiting for 20 minutes and the gentleman helping us seemed both bothered by my request and was texting on his phone throughout our interaction. He asked if there were any other questions and walked away as I was asking question. To make matters worse, we purchased what he suggested and it was completely wrong so we had to return it. This was not the first time we’ve had a bad experience but will be the last. I’ll be driving half an hour to Sam Ash from now on. I’d rather sit in traffic than give them any more of my time and money. Only giving 1 star so I could leave the review.
El servicio al cliente no me gustó, en la página de internet decía que tenían un producto y después de ir desde lejos, no había.
Hello, I wanted to leave here all my frustration with this store. On August 31st I went to Guitar Center in Lakeland (45 minutes from my house) looking for a speaker, so after waiting almost 1 hour I was attended to and bought a Gemini PA-15LKII speaker . Before leaving the store, I asked the salesperson if he could test the speaker, however he told me he couldn’t test it because the store was too crowded, but I had 45 days to return the product. When I got home and opened the speaker, I had a surprise, the speaker came without the components such as the power cable, the support and without the microphone and its wire, it was not a new product. At the same time I called the store and the salesperson who answered me apologized and asked me to return the next day. When I returned the other day (another 45 minutes) the product I bought was no longer in the store, and no other similar one that I could afford, so the manager Mason, who served me very well, told me that he had two speakers of the same model in the Tampa store he saw in the system. So he gave me a card for the value of the box and told me I could go to the Tampa store to pick up the product at the store. When I got to the Tampa store (another 50 minutes of travel) the salesperson who answered me told me that he didn’t have any speakers on that model, however I explained the situation of what had happened to me, but he told me that the product was unavailable, I was SHOCKED. Even so I looked at other speakers but I chose not to take any and asked for the cancellation of my order. To my surprise the seller told me that he couldn’t cancel the order because he didn’t have the box in the store and that he would have to wait for the box to arrive at the store for him to cancel my order, again I didn’t believe it. I explained to him that the manager Mason at the Lakeland store assured me that the Tampa store had the product, but the Tampa salesman didn’t take my word for it. After much insistence I managed to get him to call Mason, so the call was made and the salesman put it on the speaker, and to his surprise (salesperson from Tampa), everything I said was true, the salespeople talked and Mason said to the seller in Tampa canceled my order, and it was done after I insisted a lot, absurd. In short, I couldn’t buy my speaker, I wasted my time on the trips I took (money), I spent my money on gasoline and the purchase money hasn’t returned to my account yet, remembering that I bought the product on debit. That same message will be put on google as a bad review unfortunately.
