Josh had an excellent piano lesson with Jay tonight!! He has been wanting to learn chords. Josh said that “Jay is an awesome teacher, caring and he thinks he is the best ”
Ezekiel is a great teacher. My daughter has enjoyed getting lessons from him.
Jay is the man !! He is very knowledgeable and kind in his approach to teaching. I high recommend his services. Amazing man , musician and teacher.

It is nice to finally put a face to that totally awesome music that I have been thoroughly enjoying as it dances its way down my street and into the yard. Just wanted you to know that my family has been tuning in to your free concert series 🙂 please keep it up!!!!
P.S. we live right around the corner from you down Arroyo and on Sunny Palm!

Elite Academy is a great music school and has teachers. Especially my violin teacher Mrs. Melanie Nordstrom. She has helped me improve in learning the violin. Also I would like to thank Mr. Bonazzoli who made this whole school possible.
We love this place. My daughter loves her piano lessons with Damian. She is often shy around adults but he put her at ease and she looks forward to her lesson each week.
Just started guitar lessons! What an amazing place with awesome teachers. Could not recommend enough!
9. the Guitar Attic
Address: 1672 Ridgewood Ave, Holly Hill, FL 32117 , Ormond Beach , Florida , United States
Randy at the Guitar Attic is by far the best guitar dealer in the Daytona area if no the whole state. He has very high quality used and new guitars, amps, pedals, etc. If you want to sell or trade your guitar, no one is more fair or will give you a better deal than Randy. He is also very knowledgeable, friendly, and just an all around good guy. I sold some guitars today but will be back to restock my obsession. Thanks Randy!
Awesome peices and knowledgeable staff
Very nice and informative owner!
Good place for guitars
Ok shop but needed a mask just to enter, not doing much business, high prices
The guitar tech Steve works on Friday and Saturday…. Had a setup done at Total Entertainment that was giving me fits so I decided to give Guitar Attic a try. Steve determined that the nut was low on the problem string… Now it’s much better… I made some setup adjustments on my own and now have my epi dot just about right.. Probably needs a new nut and saddles…. I’ll most likely spend about $400 more because I want to install MinE-T-Tune, compensating nut, and upgraded saddles.. They could have also sold me strap locks but forgot I asked for them.
I also brought a Hofner Bass kit that I couldn’t seem to wire without a diagram… Steve and I figured it out with a little troubleshooting… It’s great to have a second set of eyes and some help when it’s needed….
Evidently the owner will string guitars thru the week but I am not sure. It’s a little challenging to find out what problems they can solve.
The fixes were very reasonably priced but I would have spent at least 4 times the amount if I felt they wanted to make sure I had a great experience with my musical endeavors.
How do you even sell anything with your hours?
I’m a little upset with this man’s integrity. I was requesting a pair of 12 -56 gauge acoustic strings. And I said my girlfriend would be by shortly to pick them up. I called his business before they were open and left a voice message. There was no miscommunication he does not carry 12-56 he carries 12-54. So when she showed up to get them and she asked if they were the right ones and he told her yes. She trusting that the order was correct left with the strings.
He didn’t say “by the way, we only carry 12-54” do you think he would need them still? No!!! He just took the sale. And she said he wasn’t very friendly or polite.
I used to come get my strings there as much as I could to support locals but that is an Integrity violation to me.
That fruit loop would only let 2 people at a time in the store plus you have to wear a mask. And doesn’t let you play any of the guitars because “covid” will get on the strings. Don’t waste your time never go to this store.
We have been shopping at this store for over ten years, and always have great experiences there. Good back to school sales, competitive prices on office furniture and chairs, and a super friendly group of people work here. The store manager has assembled a team of people who really know how to help us find what we need, or advise us when we need help picking out a big ticket item. It is so easy to shop here, they have a very wide selection, and excellent service !
I always have a good experience in your store because there seems to be employees that are eager to help.
Printer section did a great job! Thank you Raymond.
Hard to find help but once you do they are kind and help you find things. Tech department seems inferior, never used, but as a tech guy I’ve overheard some things that made my skin crawl.
Great customer service. They were very knowledgeable.
Don’t rely on website saying product is available at this store.
Cashier picking his nose with his zipper down on his pants did not want him to touch my items I was totally disgusted
Poorly stocked, dated print services, overpriced.
Worst customer service ever in the print and copy area—don’t even try to ask a question! Was told the directions are on the side of the machine without even looking up. I’ll be going to Staples from now on
14. Recording Studio 550
Address: 41 Mayfield Cir, Ormond Beach, FL 32174 , Ormond Beach , Florida , United States
The only recording studio I will give a five star review to! They work in a very timely fashion plus The quality is great!
If i came would i be able to get lessons on how to make beats?
A friend bought a one hour recording session on Groupon. I called and scheduled an appointment. I showed up on time and no one was there. I called and no one answered. I left a voicemail and no one ever returned my call.
15. Total Entertainment Music Store
Address: 501 W International Speedway Blvd, Daytona Beach, FL 32114 , Ormond Beach , Florida , United States
Helpful and friendly staff. Large selection of guitars at good prices.
Highly recommend, great value and service. 5 stars PLUS!!!!
Have been in on several occasions now. Always greeted and taken care of in a friendly and professional manner, never pushy. Staff is very helpful. They have a great selection and very reasonably priced. Gives you that mom and pop type vibe instead of big corporate music store feel. I won’t go anywhere else.
Phone directions and information very pleasant and helpful
Not bad
These guys are nice guys and they know guitars
Went in for a desk boom stand, was concerned that the older mic I had might not fit so I brought it along with me. I asked the staff if I could fit test it on the product. He grab a box, than cut the tape, and begun pulling the product out, than stop and asked if I was gonna buy it, and if I wasn’t he wouldn’t be able to fit test it for me. I laughed said good one and asked for my mic back and left. Scummy sales tactics 1/5 stars.
I called to have a lyre held for my son’s upcoming event. I told them my name and I’d pick it up after work, since it was the last one left. Instead, they sold it to someone else!!! When I called to voice my issue, whomever I spoke to said he was sorry and that was my prerogative to go somewhere else. That’s the thanks I get for shopping local. They just lost my business and everyone else I come into contact with (which is a lot of people in my profession). If you say you will hold it, you should do so. Bad business practice and very unprofessional. It is a shame small businesses are closing due to places like amazon, but this is a prime example why.
In response, your version of events is completely false to cover your own reputation. I called and the business was about to close in ten minutes. I was told when you reopened and I left my full name. I also called back when you reopened and informed them my husband would pick it up that day. He showed up THAT VERY DAY and it was sold. Your version of events is incorrect sir. Your excuses won’t help your poor business practice. Maybe try taking some accountability for wasting our time and offer a sincere apology or resolution? I can’t imagine how you treat customers who actually have a bigger concern or complaint at your establishment. Being rude, unethical, and a blatantly lying about the events just to cover your own shortcomings that led to my review just proves what kind of person you are. I’m more than happy to spend our money somewhere else sir.
After being hung up on, I called back to continue asking questions about a certain product. Employee was short and unhelpful
16. Guitar Center
Address: 220 Daytona Blvd Suite B-200, Daytona Beach, FL 32114 , Ormond Beach , Florida , United States
Super displsays. Very personable and helpful sales persons.
Being one of the last guitar centers around this one is great compared to ones in the past. Staff friendly and nice verity of acoustic and electric guitars.
For guitarists, DJs and keyboards players, it’s a great place. But not much of a drum selection though.
Good selection, awesome teachers, excellent help
Store clerks not really helpful. I did purchase something after the right person assisted.
Pretty lame for the hype that drew about from the idea of “Daytona’s first Guitar Center”. Off the bat i was a bit unsatisfied with the selection. Second i didn’t really appreciate an alarm sounding when i picked up a small keyboard to check if there was a USB port (there wasn’t). My next observation was of a limited guitar display. It seemed like they choose based on an average of “best sellers” from their massive amount of stores, and it leaves the selection feeling rather bland, and for a small amount of space it makes it more so. Going over prices on basic instrument needs they were not as competitive as the hype led me to believe. A 10′ 1/4″ cable “generic” was priced 2$ higher then a local competitor. The amp selection is off putting as well as they seem to again stick to what they feel will sell, but due to limited space makes the diversity of products extemely limited then what you would think guitar center had to offer. Cheapest hard case for a bass was 20$ more then local compitition, and everything else was equal or more expensive. I was actually very let down with the overall price in general because it seems this store is just trying to garner buisness away from local stores with nothing more then a name, and that smells like shady business practise. Glad i went to know i don’t need to spend my money there.
Brought a amp in to sell manager Ashley was very very rude and short with me she treated me like garbage she had one of her little minions to come test my amp out he said my amp kept shutting off on him I pointed out that it wasn’t plugged in all the way in the back. This place is full of brains lol don’t waste your time here. Take your business somewhere else this place is a joke.
Kurt is the only employee that gives good customer service, i have been in this location (Daytona Beach) ten times recently and one out of ten times i had a great experience thanks to Kurt. The other nine times i walked into this store was horrible. I tried to buy a Mac Studio set not in stock, tried to buy an interface for my keyboards the shelves were bare, nothing. Even ordering online it says instock you get to the store nope don’t have it. Then you have to wait a week to get a refund and they lie and say its your bank that holds it. News flash my bank don’t hold money thats Guitar Center holding it. Today i walked in to buy three different things a $1000 live controller, midi plugs and another Synth that was $1299 not one person helped me between 7:30 – 8:30pm tonight so i have decided i will go to Sam Ash in Orlando tomorrow and spend my money there. Guitar Center was on the list of companies fixing to close their doors sooner than later now i know why. Kurt thank you for your great service the rest of you i hope you enjoy unemployment.
