My 8 year old son was learning piano with Miss Joyce for over 2 years. He learned a lot and plays beautifully. Miss Joyce teaches good techniques and encourages her students. I am so glad we found her.
If 5-star quality is what you want, then Wellington Elite Music Academy of the Arts is the place for you. Ms. Crawford is very patient and skillful. Over the short time my daughter has been with her, I have noticed huge growth and development in my daughter’s voice and also her confidence. There’s is noticeably more fullness and depth to her voice now. My daughter loves her. She knows how to instruct and critique my daughter in a way that keeps her motivated to want to do better. My daughter was able to be successful in her middle school performing arts vocal auditions so she can now pursue singing at a higher level. Absolutely phenomenal is all I have to say!
Joyce is such a pleasure to work with. She is everything you would want as a piano instructor. She is professional, patient and has a great sense of humor. I have been going once a week for 2 months now and I really enjoy our lessons.
I wouldn’t recommend Joyce Crawford if the lessons were free. There are many other teachers out there, so do your research.
ETA-Nope not a fake review. Nice try.
3. George’s Music
Address: 130 Juno St #2, Jupiter, FL 33458 , Palm Beach Gardens , Florida , United States
No hassle online shopping. Ships next day. Good stock and prices.
I am impressed and please with both the hands-on service and the Boss DR-01S Rhythm Partner Drum Machine that I bought. Tim Kamak, my account manager, called me after the purchase to introduce himself and let me know that the item was on its way. He then called back after I had some time to get acquainted with the DR-01S to see if everything was going well. He took the time to inquire about my music interests and to get to known each other. His call was meaningful because it was not just a “business as usual” type of call. It was friendly. Although there is not much I plan to buy right now, I know that I will turn to George’s to check out their inventory.
As for the Boss DR-01S Rhythm Partner Drum Machine, it is exactly what I had hoped for. I mainly write music and play my own songs for fun at home. The Drum Machine serves me well in terms of sound quality as well as ease of use. It certainly enhances my enjoyment when playing. I next plan to record some tracks, using the Boss DR-01S Rhythm Partner Drum Machine as a foundation.
Stop searching through Yelp and Google reviews for a local music store and just drive over to their location; you won’t be disappointed. I have been shopping here for years and I am continuously impressed by their inventory and customer service. Tim and his team of associates are knowledgable and ensure you pick out the right equipment for your needs. Never have been pushed to buy anything I didn’t need and it has that “mom and pop” feel to their enormous location. It also doesn’t hurt that their prices generally match the lowest competitors.
Simply put, if you need any sort of musical equipment, do yourself a favor and give them a call. I can’t imagine someone leaving George’s Music disappointed.
At first my online order did not make it through, for whatever reason. The next day i had an email from Tim. Asking if he can help in any way. I called and within minutes my order was processed and all taken care of with shipping and follow up emails to inform where the process was at, etc. I am in Canada so you definitely impressed me with your client service attention. I would definitely recommend George’s Music to others. Will evaluate the product once received by my daughter.
All the rave reviews ate well earned.
These guys really go the extra mile with communication. Maybe a bit too much, hence the 4 stars instead of 5. I appreciate being kept informed but getting texts, emails, and voicemails for 1 order is a bit much. Anyway, their heart is in the right place, and the gig-bag I ordered is great!
This place is closed
Out of business
Not a “music store” but more like a warehouse with a very small showroom. This is essentially a front for their booming internet business. Prices are higher than most. Selection is limited on even the staple items like guitar strings. Will work in a pinch, but wouldn’t ever go out if my way to visit again.
4. Guitar Center
Address: 5025 Okeechobee Blvd, West Palm Beach, FL 33417 , Palm Beach Gardens , Florida , United States
It’s a small store, but clean and organized and the staff is friendly. Have only been there a couple times, but never had an issue.
Great place to shop, get lessons or just plain browse for cool new or old gear!
Have some good sales going on.
Nice instrument selection guitars and drums
Excellent
The guy couldn’t helped me and the second one was impatient to help me.
I prefer George’s Music over Guitar Center mainly because George’s usually respects the customer’s input. In the plus corner, Guitar Center has far more quantity than most music stores. But buying is another matter. Customers must go through the salesman’s constant rant on how little the buyer knows about the product and music in general, while exalting their own self-proclaimed ‘professional expertise’.
No salemen to help you and almost all guitars are locked.
5. Barnes & Noble
Address: 11380 Legacy Ave, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410 , Palm Beach Gardens , Florida , United States
U need a book you’ll find it hear, u need a coffee you’ll find it hear, need a smile you’ll find it hear. Love b n n
Very clean and very nice and helpful people
Clean. Good parking. Recently the service has been spotty. I bought a number of hardcover books and was told I couldn’t get a bag BUT I could buy one of their fabric bags. Come on…I spend at least $1,000/yr on books and I can’t get a bag. I’m trying to find an independent shop in the area
As far as I know, this is the only bookstore anywhere near Jupiter. They have a pretty good selection of books, especially for children. There is a little Starbucks if you want to hang out and read. I don’t like the amount of floorspace that is taken up with toys and tchotchkes but I guess those items are probably pretty high margin so I understand. I do wish that they would bring back the little kiosks for looking up books. If you are looking for something even slightly esoteric it is nearly impossible to find and having to track down an employee to look things up for you is a drag.
It would have been better if it was not so expensive
It’s the saddest place on earth.
Discounts not available in store.
Where are our photos from the booksigning even last Friday with Donald Trump Jr.?? Its been days and no link to our photos from this photographer on your website taking our photos. Makes me wonder if there is some sort of bias since another incident occured in NYC were a left wing organization changed the cover of the book TRIGGERED to an anti Trump cover and placed into the young adult section at a Barnes and Noble there. I wonder how this was possible when the Barnes and Noble stores have cameras all over. Costco also showed some apparent biased by kicking people out of a scheduled booksigning event due to closing times. Sure looks like bias to me. I hope the Palm Beach Gardens store wont follow in that category. We would like to get in contact with the photographer ourselves and retrieve our photos since Barnes and Noble took it upon themselves and prohibited us from taking our own photos but were eager to sell as many books as possible at the fastest time.

We love it here!!!!! My daughter takes piano and vocal with Miss Debbie she is AMAZING!!!! She is patient, kind and extremely talented! I am very happy to have her as my daughter’s teacher. My toddler attends the Junior music class. We love this class as well. If you have a baby or toddler this class is a great way to introduce your little one to beginning music skills!!!!! The owners and staff are always warm and welcoming!
Excellent Instructors, Great Prices, and Very Welcoming Staff.
The management is very helpful, and the store is small but has a good stock and variety.
Friendly ,Helpful Staff!
Great service really friendly customer service
Went to check this place out as I had never been inside. A male clerk saw us and asked us if we needed help and when we told him we had never been here and were just checking it out for future reference. He became super condescending towards us.
Great price, and nice place to visit
Just a personal experience
These people are CROOKS!!! Ive been djing for 10yrs and I went there to have my speakers looked at (i tested them before i dropped them off) and Mike the repair guy wants to tell me that they are blown. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!? YOU THINK I DONT KNOW WHAT A BLOWN SPEAKER IS?!? PLUS I TESTED THEM BEFORE I BROUGHT THEM THERE!! They are lying money hungry thieves that prey on the ignorant. DO NOT SPEND A PENNY HERE!!!!!
Been in this store twice now, both times the workers talked down to me and basically ran me out of their store within 5 minutes. Horrible customer service.
Been a customer for 17 years until today;e negative coment by employees and I have one of my client on the fhone they hear that and I lost my sale,and also the store. Very disappointed
I hired Bonnie to play for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. She was incredible. She helped me pick out my procession songs, and they were played perfectly. I had so many people approach me to tell me how great Bonnie was, and also what a nice touch the live music was as well! I highly recommend Bonnie!
9. MusiciansBuy.com
Address: 130 Juno St #2, Jupiter, FL 33458 , Palm Beach Gardens , Florida , United States
Steve makes shopping on line a joy! He not only knows his products and is helpful, he can be trusted. I ordered a Yamaha P105 Electric Piano for myself and helped a friend order one. We have both been happy with our service. I am in the process of checking out ordering a Hammond SK1-88 Portable Organ for our church. Again, I am trusting Steve to assist us. I know we can trust him and MusiciansBuy to stand behind their products.
Went on line Monday night desperate to find replacement VDrum heads that had to arrive before the weekend. Found you guys had the best price and ordered enough to get free shipping. Heads arrived Thursday, ahead of the estimated date (Sat). Steve was very helping in getting the tracking info to me. Great experience!!
The Riviera Beach Youth Empowerment is very happy with the service that Mr. Chad and the awesome staff at Georgie’s music provided to us. We highly recommend this store becuase the experience and customer service is beyond amazing!
My daughter plays the Clarinet – my son plays the Tenor Saxophone. In converting their rental to a purchase, Cindy was more than helpful.
In joining the school band, my kids initially rented to insure we wouldn’t be stuck with instruments should they change their mind or otherwise decide chorus might be a better fit. Later in the school year, I sought to convert the rental to a purchase. Looks like they were sticking with band.
I had some “numbers” in mind on what I was willing to pay on the rental to purchase conversion. When I called into the store, Cindy was polite and helpful. After talking with management, their final price was actually lower that the “number” I had in mind. I quickly paid by credit card and sealed the deal.
Excelente
Good variety of instruments and accessories. Helpful friendly staff. Good prices
Great store for instrument rental.
They are good at what they do. They give you honest quotes for what might be needed.
I used to come here to have my instrument cleaned for years and will no longer be doing so. Repair shop is unwilling to accommodate professional musicians that are time sensitive. And no, I won’t be leaving my instrument that I make a living with with you for 7-10 days. That’s completely unacceptable. I even offer to pay extra for the rush. Insane. This would never happen in New York, Boston, LA, San Francisco, Dallas, or any city with pro music shops.
Trash. Not in a good way.
DO NOT GO HERE FOR STRING REPAIRS. Or, frankly, repairs in general. I have never in my life experienced such poor customer service. I originally brought my viola to the store in Port Saint Lucie to be repaired and was told that it had to be shipped to the West Palm Beach store where the actual repair shop was. Seemed reasonable enough at the time. But this store then held my viola for well over a month, and started constantly making excuses as to why I couldn’t have my viola. Not only that, but it was impossible to get ahold of anyone at the store by telephone. I called time and time again and left numerous messages, but I was rarely able to get in touch with anyone until I actually spoke with the repair person. First it was that I didn’t tell them how I wanted it repaired (I did. Twice.) Then it was that the repair person only works weekends (she herself told me that she would come in and fix it on a weekday if needed, but they didn’t seem to care about that), and then it was that they couldn’t ship it back to the Port Saint Lucie store. Then, finally, when I finally got them to ship it back, they did it LATE. It is well over a month later and I STILL do not have my viola because of the terrible customer service. I’ve missed over 10 lessons now because of this. DO NOT go here for string repairs; they are simply understaffed.
17. Palm Beach Guitars
Address: 2755 Vista Pkwy, West Palm Beach, FL 33411 , Palm Beach Gardens , Florida , United States
Steve is the best!! When it comes to guitar repair and guitar setup no one better in Palm Beach county.
My bass needed a major tune-up so I brought it to Steve. He straighten the neck, adjusted the intonation and action and now it plays and sounds so much better. You really need a professional to get it right.
I went to Steve yesterday with a concern about a Gibson J200 purchased used, it had some intermittent problems that were driving me crazy and I didn’t know what to do.
Steve stopped what he was doing and spent almost an hour with me, evaluated the guitar, and advised me to return it for a refund. He could have easily taken the guitar in for a fairly expensive fix and made money, but instead he convinced me that the guitar would likely to continue to have problems down the road (which would have meant even more work/money for him) and that I should just walk away from it. I wanted to pay him for his time and expertise, but he refused, just waved it away…
I have been playing for 40 years, and have run into more than a few guys fixing guitars. Steve’s level of knowledge was outstanding – but more importantly, his CARING and his PASSION for the truth were at a level that is almost never seen these days. I am truly grateful to have found Steve, and look forward to having him care for my other guitars in the years to come.
Thank you Steve!
18. Goodwill Palm Beach Gardens (Northlake) Store & Donation Center
Address: 4224 Northlake Blvd, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410 , Palm Beach Gardens , Florida , United States
It was very clean and organized. The associates were friendly and attentive. I love this location
Excellent
Nice used stuff
One of their nicer stores
I love Goodwill, and this location in particular. I have scored some amazing deals here, when I have to time to properly dig into the racks. With that said, the prices have been steadily increasing year by year, and it is now one of the most expensive Goodwill stores that I go to. It is a “boutique” store, which means that the more expensive items are sent here from the regular stores, because they don’t sell at the regular stores, i.e. brand name and vintage clothing. However, if the clothing is beat up, buttons / beads missing, stains, etc., it does NOT matter what brand name is listed is on the tag, or how “vintage” they think the item is – it is certainly not worth more than $10 if the item cannot be fixed / restored. In good news, the staff really strive to keep the store clean and organized, and they are usually pleasant and friendly. The people that shop there…sometimes not so much! Be prepared to stand your ground browsing through racks while other overzealous shoppers bang their carts into you and are pretty much on TOP of you lol! Still, this is one of my favorite Goodwill stores around.
Terrible TERRIBLE TERRIBLE customer service! Stood there for 5 minutes while 4 employees see me waiting and stand around and keep talking. Then were beyond rude, good luck in life ladies, you’ll never find a good job with that work ethnic!
A fake service dog in a cart tried to attack my service dog multiple times. Despite notifying 3 different employees nothing was done and I had to leave the store for my own safety.
Used to be everything was organized by size, now it’s organized by color instead. Makes it extremely difficult to find something that you would like that actually is your size. Very disappointed, won’t waste my time doing here again.
