Everything for music enthusiasts and beginners alike from music instruments and accessories to professional music instructor teaching access
Great place to get all your musical necessities. Friendly staff, good service, great selection.
Affordable and good lessons.
Popped in for a couple sets of strings, and was shocked to see that this dark and shabby shop in a low rent area charged about 2 1/2 times what most shops do. In fact, 2 1/2 times what I could get the same strings for online, and that’s including tax and delivery! I guess since Guitar Center – the only competition for miles – moved, these guys decided they are going to screw their neighbors.
Not Surprising, their strings were old. An employee did immediately try to assist me, though, and also seemed to understand that the owner – who I assume to be the Asian man behind the counter, rudely ignoring me as I walked in – was being foolish about pricing.
Super nice people. Mostly never crowded. Great selection. Nice consignments too.
Small shop, packed with instruments, fear and accessories. Helpful, knowledgeable, informative and priced competitively with online suppliers. Good quality gear and instruments of every kind: guitars, ukelele specialists, band instruments, amps & PA systems. I bought a Peavy MX-158 bass amp after testing every small amp in the store.
This place has hardly any guitars there Used Guitars are way overpriced it’s like a big cluster mess in that place
5. Jasmine’s Violin Studio
Address: contact me for details, Dover Ave, San Pablo, CA 94806 , Rollingwood , California , United States
Jasmine is an amazing violin and piano teacher! I know this because I’ve seen and her students play at the recitals. Currently my 12 and 14 year old boys are taking piano lessons from her and the progress they have made amazes me. My kids used to take piano from another teacher, but they started to complain that they didn’t enjoy taking piano anymore. I investigated and found that they didn’t like the teacher because she was impatient and at times made them feel bad by raising her voice when they didn’t meet her expectations. It was unfortunate that I didn’t know this sooner, but I was unaware because I was in another room when my kids had their lessons.
To make a long story short I found Jasmine and she is wonderful. I find her to be very easy to talk to and learned that she takes into consideration each of my kids experience and skills level and tailors her teaching according to their ability. My children have been taking piano from Jasmine for four years now and they really like her and that she has never gotten mad or raised her voice at them. My older son actually told me he is liking piano now! The evidence of this is that he is now self-motivated and going online to pick out songs and trying to learn them on his own! That’s the results all parents want to see when you’ve been paying for years of lesson! Jasmine has a unique way of teaching and communicating that helps my kids learn the theory and skills. When they don’t understand it or aren’t able to do what she asks, she figures out a new way to help them understand and learn the skills instead of getting mad at them. Again, thank you Jasmine. We thank you God for you!
My 8-year-old daughter has been with Jasmine for about a year for piano lessons and we are very happy! Jasmine is a very pleasant and helpful teacher. Our daughter has a different style of learning and it can sometimes be frustrating teaching her something new, but Jasmine is incredibly patient with her. Lessons are taught in her home and the lesson times are convenient for us. The cost is very minimal compared to other piano lessons we looked at. I would definitely recommend Jasmine!
Jasmine is a gifted piano instructor and possesses a very friendly teaching style. She is concise and easy to understand. My 8 year old daughter started taking lessons from Jasmine about two years ago. The progress she has made is wonderful. My daughter loves learning from Jasmine and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a piano teacher!
6. Fiat Music Company
Address: 2722 Pinole Valley Rd, Pinole, CA 94564 , Rollingwood , California , United States
I havw been a student here for around a decade and I love Fiat!!!!
This place has very nice people, the staff and the customers!
My 11 year old daughter started lessons at fiat last week. We love it. This place has great teachers and a friendly attitude. Very reasonable. Let music live forever and get your children into fiat music. Many instruments and great people.
Good store and nice service
The place is decent but it could be better. They should clean up the old stuff that clatters the hall and dust the pianos. Also, the lesson room definitely could use some improvement in terms of the pianos and acoustics. They should tune them and apply new insulation. I think the lesson room is a bit too small.
Very knowledgeable on instruments
I would give this place negative stars if I could. Went In to actually buy a guitar, started playing an acoustic softly and got asked to leave at 12:30 in the day. If you can’t play a guitar, how can you know which one to buy? No lessons going on either. Treated like a piece of S*** and All I wanted to do was give them business. Terrible experience, terrible establishment.
Junky store and over priced better deals online
I brought in my guitar to have it restrung and it took them four days to turn it around, they didn’t even tune it. The associate who I left it with was really unorganized and, when I picked it up, they didn’t ask for my work order slip or any info—anybody could have walked in and left with it. This was my first time using their services and I likely won’t go back.
7. Modulus Guitars
Address: 3701 Collins Ave #6b, San Pablo, CA 94806 , Rollingwood , California , United States
I loved and miss my drum lessons with Surya. Hoping to go back soon. He is a professional, skilled, warm, patient man. Our first lesson he assessed what I wanted to work on and what my skill level was, and tailored my lessons thoughtfully in a methodical way. He was always prepared and is a very experienced teacher. I have taken drum lessons with others and none had the teaching chops or were as professional, thoughtful and organized as Surya. I give him the highest recommendation.
As a professional music teacher myself, I have to say that it is extremely rare to find a music educator who is as well rounded, talented, and profoundly kind as Surya. Whether he is teaching voice, drums, or piano, he brings great joy AND precision to the lesson. When I’m learning from Surya I feel totally comfortable and supported. I highly recommend Surya Music Lessons!
I’ve hired Harry Best and Shabang several times and each time the event just came to life when they played. I count on them to set the mood and give their professional best. Sometimes I find where they are playing just to get that Steel drum lift!
Fun group, excellent music, the crowd loved them!
Great music. Positive energy. Very professional and reliable. We can’t wait to hire them again.
