Ben Glaros Guitar Lessons: what do users think?

Evan Quinnell: I highly recommend Ben Glaros for guitar lessons in Minneapolis! After years attempting to teach myself, lessons with Ben brought the extra kick I needed to learn. Ben is incredibly talented, knowledgeable, patient and creative. All qualities you want in a teacher. He's able to break down concepts and songs of all genres into approachable lessons. Most importantly, Ben understands the deeper meaning behind music and brings that energy to his teaching. If you're looking for lessons in the Twin Cities, Ben is your guy.

Joe Charboneau: I started to re-learn guitar over a year ago after a lapse of many decades. After a year of teaching myself with online content, I reached a plateau. I found Ben Glaros after some online searching for instructors and I’m glad I started working with him. He has a very steady and encouraging teaching approach that has helped me correct some poor habits and get on a path for faster learning. Ben is great to work with!

Sam Marzouk: Ben is AMAZING! He is not only incredibly knowledgable about the guitar, but as an uncanny ability to break down complex concepts in a simple, digestible way. Of equal importance, he is also just an incredibly nice guy! I never thought I'd get this far on the guitar and thanks to Ben, I have!

Robert Brown: Wow, what a great opportunity for me, and maybe for you…. Ben was impressively easy and open, and instructive! I’m eager to take more classes from Ben.

Terry Johnson: Update. See below as all is still valid. Two things I neglected to mention. Ben also taught me the framework of songwriting & music theory. Both, coupled with the guitar knowledge he imparted, enabled me to move to a musical career … 24 plus songs with recording & performance starting later this year.Ben Glaros is an outstanding guitar teacher. His knowledge is phenomenal. What I enjoy the most about Ben is his teaching style. He is enthusiastic, very patient, and knows how to instruct at the right level. He challenges you to explore areas of music that I never thought I would hear coming from my own guitar. And it sounds beautiful.I encourage you to take lessons from Ben. You will never be disappointed and I guarantee your knowledge of music will soon surpass your greatest expectations.

Andrew Cholakian: Ben’s a great teacher, knowledgeable, fun, patient, and with an incredible depth and breadth of guitar wisdom

Mark Zukor: I can’t recommend Ben highly enough! He's patient, supportive, knowledgeable, and makes learning fun—basically, everything you’d want in a guitar teacher. I’ve only had a handful of lessons so far but I’m amazed at how much I’ve gotten out of each one. Ben is a rare teacher who’s not only an expert musician but also has a real sense for how to teach. Somehow, he’s able to focus in on exactly what I need to know, at the right time, in the right way. Each lesson has unlocked a whole new level of understanding for me that’s been super exciting and inspiring!

Ian Crawford: I've been playing for 20+ years and I teach guitar as well, but I've always felt there were some large gaps in my skills and knowledge so I reached out to Ben for lessons. It was definitely the right choice! Ben is an excellent teacher whose student-centered approach makes lessons both relaxed and deeply engaging. I especially appreciate Ben's talent for explaining musical concepts clearly and giving practical assignments that offer just the right amount of challenge. On top of learning technical skills and theory, I've also gained a lot from Ben's insights into musicianship. Highly recommended!

David Shulman: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueI am a rank beginner on guitar and an old dog to boot. Ben is a real pro and has a knack for imparting great insights and techniques. I leave each lesson inspired to continue learning. My only complaint is the lessons are over before you know it! Highly recommend.

Nils Wulfsberg: Positive:QualityI've been taking lessons with Ben for roughly a decade now, and he's really helped me grow as a musician. We've learned music from all types of genres ranging from hard rock, to jazz, to classical guitar. The location is nice and welcoming as well.

Twin Town Guitars: what do users think?

Jacob Zimmerman: Purchased an isntrument from them online. The pics were exactly of the instrument I purchased and not stock photos. Shipping was reasonable price and timing with accurate updates. Product was packaged well and the shop did a phenomenal job getting it ready to ship and plays better than I could have hoped. I hope to visit the physical location next month and thank you folks in person.

Mike Merwin: on a favorite guitar but I was hesitant to bring it in because it's not exactly a pro-level guitar and I am not exactly a studio player. I asked for advice on what strings I should try from the very kind and helpful staff and went with their suggestion. When I picked up the guitar, I could not believe the amount of work that was clearly done. The fretboard looked better than the day I bought the guitar and I could immediately tell as I strummed it that I had left it in the hands of a professional. Money well spent at a fantastic guitar shop.

Nathan Gentry: I called Twin Town from beautiful, sunny Florida and spoke with AJ. I was all like “the internet said you guys have a left handed Epiphone ES 335 in a vintage burst. Is that true?” And AJ was all like “I believe we do have one of those but let me go look. Do you mind if I put you on a brief hold?” And I was like, “of course not”. So I waited on hold briefly while AJ ran to check and make sure Twin Town did in fact have a left handed Epiphone ES 335 in a vintage burst. I was concerned AJ would come back and tell me that no such guitar existed in his store. But when he came back to the phone he was all like “I do have one of those in stock”, so I bought it. AJ and the gang shipped my guitar out FAST too. I didn’t have to wait weeks to express myself through the majesty of song on my new left handed Epiphone ES 335 in vintage burst. Needless to say, I couldn’t be any happier with Twin Town or AJ’s service.

richard traxler: Great shop, great teachers, well managed, fun place, better than the strip mall stores.

Robert Wicklander: Best guitar store I’ve ever been to. Cole was awesome in helping me get back into playing after a couple year break! Super knowledgeable and super nice. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This is where I’ll be going for anything guitar related. Thanks guys!

Josephine Morris: I got my first bass from Twin Town Guitars. I went in looking for a bass guitar, and was instantly greeted with friendly and informative staff. They have a pretty good collection, and you can pretty much find what you're looking for than if you went to a bigger store like Guitar Center. I love supporting local businesses, and this is one to definitely support!

Chris Dewar: Bought a lefty Taylor classical guitar from out of state that I couldn't find anywhere else. Haven't visited the store but had great experience and highly recommend!

Rich Rue: Great music store! 👍🎶

Kelly Cook: Great music resources

Alex Nelson: Love this store! Super helpful and welcoming. Love that they have two little "try out" rooms, where you can play guitars and pedals without worrying about bugging the people around you and you can tell if you like it or not. They have always been happy to let me try whatever guitar or pedal I've asked about. I've never felt like a burden to the sales staff, and I also haven't ever felt pressured into a purchase. They really just want to help you find your next favorite gear. Also a great place for lessons. I enjoy going to lots of guitar stores and this is my favorite in the Twin Cities.

Paula Buendorf: Wow! We had a great experience here and learned so much as new guitar owners. Great customer service...knowledgeable, kind, and thorough. Thank you, Asa!

Matthew Pagel: Always friendly and helpful!

Mark McCubbin: The staff at Twin Town are knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly and their product selection is great. Support your local shops like this. They can't be replaced by the internet!

Justin Bowling: Definitely one of the best music stores in the Twin Cities, and quite frankly one of the best I've ever been to in the country. Their selection is incredibly solid, from low priced cool stuff you've never seen before all the way up to very high end collectible vintage gear, and everything in between. Also, everyone that works here is super nice and friendly. I did a big trade with them the other day, and it was the easiest trade I have ever done. They are very transparent in how they work with trades. They look at the average sale price, and you get 70% of that. It's so close I was able to roughly gauge what my trade in would be, and then put together what I wanted to trade it in for before coming in and I was able to walk out with everything I wanted. Also, that 70/30 split on trade in's is by FAR the fairest and best trade value I have ever seen at a shop. It makes it worth it to just go here rather than sell online as the difference in what you get isn't really all that much compared to selling it yourself after you factor in the time it takes to sell an item online and the shipping costs.This place is definitely a 5 star shop. There's a reason it's been around and continues to be well known.

Mischa Ortega May: I have had piano here for 9 years and the atmosphere and teachers are all super nice.

Arianna Xu: Ive been going here for 8+ years it has been pretty good

Alyssa Joye: My experience with MacPhail was nothing but amazing. My voice teacher, Thomas Speckhard was the best. I had to pause my voice lessons because of school, but I hope to return again once my schedule is more manageable. I learned so much about voice and singing from teacher Tom, and I appreciate his approach for an aspiring-frustrated singer like myself. Lol. He is the best! Thank you, MacPhail.

Debbie Willoughby: Today my granddaughter won a panio. A true blessing for us. We met the people who donated the piano such a blessing. My granddaughter was able to play for them.A bless day.A beautiful school. Thank you to the staff.

Minnesota School Of Music: what do users think?

Tyler Stanley: My kids are officially rock stars. MN School of Music is a top-notch program that is invaluable to the community. My daughter was 7 when she started learning the drums with Mr. Martin over a year ago, and we are looking forward to her playing Gold Lion by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs for her first recital. I was so impressed with the staff that I started my son on the guitar with Mr. Nelson. Now, both my kids play Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes at home. As a professional teacher, I saw my kids struggle with school after the pandemic. After enrolling them with MNSOM, I have seen tremendous growth in confidence toward their school work and sense of creativity. Thank you, Eric, for what you have built.

Jennifer Zafke: We have been attending Minnesota School of Music for a month now, from a recommendation from a friend whose kids attend there as well. I am highly impressed at the level of patience shown, the positive praise, and meeting each kid where they are at. My kids have learned so much in a short time and it’s definitely sparked their love of music! Thanks Eric for all you do!

Laura Christopher: My daughter has been coming to Mn school of Music for about 6 months and we love it. She is 14 and her teacher is fabulous. When we had a concern, the owner Eric addressed it personally and very quickly and everything was taken care of and back to excellence immediately. Highly recommended!

Nagendar Peet: I love it 😀

Joshua Pietrs: Verry attentive to the students and nice atmosphere!

Clara Lai: Very nice school and teachers with great experience

Laura Brewster: My 7 year old is learning guitar with a wonderful teacher at Minnesota School of Music. They keep him engaged with incentives like the bracelets and trophies kids can earn. Mr Nelson curates lessons to meet his needs. We highly recommend this school.

Alta DeRoo MD: Very patient and knowledgeable!Excellent instruction!

Alyssa Westholter: to learn to play an instrument!

Felix Zamora: Always a great experience

Alyssa Boswell: My 15 year old has been taking guitar lessons here for four months. He is being challenged musically and is having a lot of fun learning new music and styles. He has participated in two recitals. This music school is well-run, organized, friendly, and has high expectations for their students.

Amberly Fuller: My 7 year old daughter leaves piano lessons each week with a big smile on her face! She looks forward to learn with Ms Brittany and overall has had great experience.

Roxanne Brennan: Awesome staff. Very kind and friendly. They really care

Sametta Togba-Scott: Friendly and knowledgeable staff!My daughter is taking voice lessons here and I'm very impressed with her progress!

St. Paul School of Music: what do users think?

John Doe: Rick is a great teacher and I’m really glad that I found this school of music. I wasn’t sure if classes would benefit me or not but I am positive now that lessons are key, as long as you have a great teacher like Rick. He gets to know you and your goals and helps you to get there with a great method. I’m very thankful for him and the school. I do online lessons since I moved and the quality is just as good. Thank you so much!

R M: Simin Fani welcomed our teenager into her beginner session with kindness, gentleness and smiles. She brought our daughter out of her shell with no pressure or expectations. Simin provides a comfortable and calm environment that is easy to learn in. The lesson books are wonderful, and Simin helps with personalized notes on the pages so that working on the music at home is understandable and meaningful.Our daughter thoroughly enjoys the classes and continuing on with Simin!

Brittany Chaffee: I love St.Paul School of Music! Working with Rick to get set up with classes was entirely seamless. And my teacher was incredible. I wanted to take up violin for the first time and I didn't feel intimidated or out of place. Great for beginners and advanced! Highly recommend!

Carly Anderson: Wonderfully inviting group of people, teachers that are flexible with scheduling and 2 recitals x year where students get to showcase their work! Very motivating to practice when there is a performance to work towards every 6 months. Lots of exposure to other instruments as well. Teachers make it fun.

Megan Dunsmore: Priscilla has been an amazing instructor for our son who has a developmental delay. She has adapted the approach to meet his needs and his progress has been incredible.

Sean Grimes: Learning with Priscilla has been fun and easy! I am an adult learning piano for the first time and lessons here have been transformational in my progress and attitude of learning an instrument. No matter what style you are looking to learn I highly recommend starting here!

Mack Schlitz: 😲

Alexa Blanc: This is a great music school, I had a fantastic experience learning from Pricilla. The environment is welcoming and a nice place to be.

Charles Guan: My 7 year old is having a wonderful experience so far taking piano lessons from teacher, Sisi Fani. Sisi has extensive training in music education and has been a joy for my daughter to learn from. Her approach is very kind, friendly, and gentle focusing on creating enjoyment in playing.Each lesson has been very well structured and paced. The recommended piano book has great songs with fun interactive features. Sisi definitely takes the time to build trust with each of her students and gets to know them.The building itself is very inviting and well curated. A great place to learn music. I would highly recommend the St Paul School of Music, especially Sisi for piano lessons.

Amy Stenftenagel: , he’ll be booked!Thank you so much, Drew!

Frankie D: What I like the most about my lessons with Rick is his easy going nature. Friendly, yet efficient with his time management during my lessons. I feel like going home and playing guitar for a couple more hours after spending just a short period of time with him and that's why I personally take lessons, to be inspired as well as taught. I always leave with tabs or notes or licks or whatever we've been working on also documented on paper so that when I go to play the following day I have it in front of me for a quick refresher if needed. And for the record, just because he's a easy going guy and relates well to his students doesn't mean he can't play! I say "what about this song or that song" and he either knows it off of the top of his head or 10 seconds listening on YouTube and he has it so he can then show me how to play it. I feel like he has an authentic interest in my development and progress and I can assure you from previous lesson elsewhere that this is definitely not always the case. I look forward to growing as a guitarist at the St Paul School of Music and would encourage anyone to try a handful of lessons to see what I'm talking about. I think you'll see/feel it too!

Ann Osendorf: Love this place. Good teachers. Great location. Dustin is a talented musician—very kind and patient with his young students.

Dongjay Lee: Rick helped me a lot with not only learning the techniques of guitar, but also every excitement of songs that I play each week, background of it and much more. He helped me to learning guitar is enjoyable and fun experience. He is super nice and great teacher who can tailor your skills, no matter what level you are, Rick will find great plan to improve your skills. 1000% highly recommended.

Aaron Gesmer: Enrolling at the St. Paul School of Music has truly changed my life forever. Before starting lessons with Rick, I was a “self-taught” guitar player who kinda knew some tricks here and there and could play some songs, and I had been doing this for several years. It can be daunting and overwhelming navigating the world of learning guitar, but I can gladly say that in the short 3 months since I’ve started, I’ve improved so much! Rick does such an awesome job of gauging where to start in his curriculum, and I love how much he has expanded my taste in music. I cannot recommend St. Paul School of Music enough, I’m so excited to continue learning and practicing with Rick!

Amy Thompson: This place is amazing. I cannot more highly recommend St. Paul School of Music! I don't know how I landed on the two most skilled teachers in the Twin Cities, but Rick on guitar, and Pricilla for voice lessons has changed my musical landscape forever. I've been singing all my life and playing guitar for 20 years - I wasn't sure what lessons would give me but I took a chance. So many new doors in me have already opened musically, and that's just after a few weeks. If you're looking to get started in music, or have been at it a while and not sure lessons are for you - take this nudge: DO IT! This place is an absolute gem, and the people make it that way. Thanks SPSM!

Robin Guerrero: My 8 year old daughter is taking piano lessons at St Paul School of Music and we have been extremely impressed with the quality of instruction and overall studio experience. We recently started guitar lessons and they have been very flexible in allowing us to try it out and see if it’s a good fit. I’m so happy we found this school.

Maia Ellenburg: My experience at the St. Paul School of Music has been nothing short of excellent. My instructor, Rick Stack, has been awesome to learn from. In addition to being very talented and knowledgable, Rick is very adaptive and accomodating in his approach to teaching. I would recommend this school to anyone interested and passionate about learning music - it is a great place to grow.

Will Stein: Extremely happy with our experience at St. Paul School of Music for guitar lessons for our kids. Rick is always responsive and helpful when there are questions. The teachers were fun and patient and tailored lessons to where our kids were currently at, in terms of skill/experience level. A wonderful local business, growing a love for playing music in our community!

Nick Reyes: I've been taking guitar lessons with Drew for about 6 months now. I've always had a great experience and feel welcomed, even as an adult learner. I highly recommend checking the school out. All the teachers are great!

Toby C: I had a wonderful first experience at Capitol Guitars today. Their selection was wonderful, and the service was fantastic. I came in looking to try a rare Gretsch that I had been researching for months online, and they helped me plug the guitar into a nice amp on the sales floor. I played for a while and noticed the guitar's intonation seemed off. I let their guitar tech know about the issue, and he promptly set up the guitar - I mean he actually SET UP the guitar! After the quick set up, not only was the intonation issue fixed, but the guitar played better than any guitar I had EVER played! Simply amazing - and what fun to play! I bought the guitar and couldn't be happier! Thanks, Capitol Guitars!

Joshua Hicks: Definitely would recommend dealing with these guys. They answered all my questions and hooked it up big time!

El Diablo Amps & Guitars: what do users think?

Kate Foy: All the five star reviews are right, the staff and selection of gear here are great! They’re knowledgeable and will spend real time with you to find exactly what you need. I’ll be going again next time I’m in town!

A Sinclair: The reviews are absolutely right, this is the best guitar shop in the Twin Cities! The guys are all knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. I don’t know a ton about electric guitars but had one repaired here to be sold later. They got it back in playing condition and sounding amazing within a few days at a very reasonable price. I asked if they’d be interested in purchasing the guitar and they were! I had very little info about the guitar, but they came up with what I felt like was a fair offer after they did some research. Even though I’m obviously a novice I felt like they treated me with respect and professionalism. I’d highly recommend El Diablo to anyone and I would absolutely do business with them again. Thanks guys!

Rummy: I thank Alan Estevez and El Diablo Amps for helping me get a piece of gear that I've been after. I was looking for the AmpRX Brownbox and Alan's price was right. More than that though, he and his team provided a very nice customer experience. They did so by politely answering all my questions, shipping promptly, and packing the item professionally. I called him up after receiving the item and had a very nice chat. I will shop with them again. Si quieres hablar con el Jefe, llama a El Diablo Amps.

Paul Richards: Great staff. I brought in a bass and a couple of amps to sell. They treated me fairly and with consideration. I highly recommend paying them a visit.

Henry Blackburn: Great selection of guitars and amps to fit any style of player. Friendly and knowledgeable staff ready to help. The new location is a must see!

Karl Maher: Nice folks and a great selection of vintage and unique gear. The amps are certainly a highlight but their selection of pedals and guitars from local builders are also impressive. Great vibes in the new space too, will definitely be back.

Paul Star: El Diablo Guitars is hands down the best service and repair shop you will find in the cities. The inventory is always flipping because the types of gear they have is ones that you definitely will use or want. Alan and the team is so welcoming and helpful when it comes to getting the gear you need. if they don't have it, they will get it! highly recommend them!!!!

guntrafficradio: El Diablo Amps & Guitars in Minneapolis is a real shred sanctuary. Alan and his crew are wizards—fast fixes, killer rates. The joint's buzzing with a friendly vibe, and the staff, man, they're as knowledgeable as they come.Alan's work? Pure magic. Fast turnaround without skimping on quality—ideal for getting back to the riff game pronto. And the rates won't murder your wallet.The shop's got serious character, just like the gear they stock. Vintage classics to cutting-edge weapons, it's a treasure trove for tone junkies. Plus, the vibe is pure rock 'n' roll camaraderie. El Diablo Amps & Guitars: where strings get resurrected, and the riffs never die. Highly recommend for MPLS music heads! 🤘🎸

Amy Warmenhoven: For unique & vintage gear, $$$$

Kris Martin: Very cool shop with local guitars/amps/pedals as well as other brands. They have a good amount of spots to sit and check out gear and the staff I spoke to were polite and knowledgeable. The only downside is that like most other shops in the area there are only a few parking spots outside on the street. Highly recommend if you don't mind a little walking.

David Fine: Had a wiring issue with a guitar i ordered from these guys on Reverb. Wasn't their fault to begin with but they were super professional and helpful, went above & beyond to make it right. Great business, A+++!

Wil Chow: Great gear. Friendly, helpful staff.

Jon Hoffmann: Came in for a setup and the turnaround was great and my guitar looks and sounds great! Thanks for the education about my bridge style over the phone as well.What a cool spot.

Michael Valdez: Best shop and service in the twin cities - maybe in the state. Alan and Cody are great - went in with a dead pickup and some intonation issues on my vintage Sheraton - they took care of it with ease. Highly, highly recommend.

Bryan Chris: I ordered a vintage bass from El Diablo and had it shipped to my home in Indiana. Alan and his people were all over it. They got it shipped the same day. It arrived exactly how it was described online...dream bass. I couldn't be happier. Many thanks to El Diablo Amps & Guitars for their excellent service!

Jeramy Cain: people in the cities!

Kris Schauer: The guys at El Diablo are all great. Very helpful, and always happy to see you. It's a full service shop, with guitar repair, and amp repair through Tonetron Amps.They have a nice selection of amps, guitars and pedals!

OrbyJays 96: Best guitar shop in the world. I’d live here, if I could. Awesome gear, nicest employees, and super relaxing environment.

jimmy lyback: This place is fantastic: the relaxed vibe and incredibly helpful and courteous staff are second to none.

Cadenza Music: what do users think?

Kaitlynn Fuller: Very quick, friendly, and knowledgeable staff! Will definitely come here again for any future string instrument needs.

Sarah Schmalenberger: I have been going to Cadenza for twenty years now for all sorts of things. Scott was the first repair person I met when I came to town, and I have sent many St. Thomas students to him and others in the repair shop. I enjoy browsing through music and supplies while chatting with folks upstairs. Cadenza is an integral part of this community

Lexi Meyers: do you guys still do electric guitar lessons? I really wanna learn.

Sam Bluhm: What can I say, Cadenza Music Rocks!!! The staff is friendly and very helpful, the store is always clean and welcoming, and they always have what I need whenever I stop by! I'm a very happy camper!!

Amy Warmenhoven: They carry all the most popular method books and have some of the newer pop. They have the most essential accessories for band and orchestra students. Clean and kid-friendly.

Dennis Smith: Cadenza repair is awesome for annual cleaning and fixing stuck valves and slides. They rent instruments too.

Joseph Sabir: Я не могу нахвалиться исключительным опытом, который мы с дочерью получили в Cadenza Music, где мы берем напрокат ее альт. С того момента, как мы вошли в двери, стало очевидно, что владельцы и персонал глубоко заботятся о студентах, которых они обслуживают, и искренне увлечены своей миссией по воспитанию любви к музыке у детей. Персонал всегда теплый, знающий и поддерживающий.Покупка высококачественного альта может оказаться значительным финансовым вложением, особенно для родителей, которые могут быть не уверены в долгосрочной приверженности своего ребенка игре на этом инструменте. Служба аренды Cadenza Music предложила нам доступную альтернативу, которая позволяет нашей дочери проявить интерес к альту, не тратя денег.Качество альта, который мы арендуем для нашей дочери, превосходное. Очевидно, что Cadenza Music очень гордится инструментами, которые предлагает. Кроме того, одним из преимуществ аренды у Cadenza Music является включение комплексной страховки. Страховка недорогая, и родитель всегда беспокоится о возможности несчастного случая или повреждения инструмента. Несмотря на то, что в доме есть еще и малыш, страховой полис полностью снимает наш стресс. Знание того, что мы застрахованы в случае непредвиденной аварии, дает неоценимое спокойствие.

Teresa Manzella: Я отвез своего сына, который не верил, что уроки ему принесут пользу, в Каденцу на уроки игры на гитаре. Он многому научился и прекрасно провел время, делая это. Этот замечательный маленький магазин стал частью моей жизни с момента его открытия, и я так рада, что могу поделиться им со следующим поколением!

Roy Hannu: В прошлый четверг со мной произошел поистине удивительный опыт. Я вошел и присоединился к их группе, играющей на гавайской гитаре, на последние 30 минут сеанса. Группа была очень гостеприимной и очень веселой. Сотрудники приветливы и могут помочь ответить на вопросы людей.

Don Lehnhoff: Единственное место в городе, где был футляр от тромбона, который я искал. Успешно справился. Отлично иметь дело.

M G (CIRCLEOF5555): Классное место

Bruce Lemmons: Хороший персонал, который приложил все усилия, чтобы починить инструменты людей. В тот же день мне вернули инструмент моей дочери. Это было незначительно, но я ценю усилия.

J Jo: Серьезно, персонал такой добрый и услужливый!!!! Вы можете сказать, что они любят свою работу и музыку!!

Grey Tison: Я работал частным и общественным учителем в этом районе и почувствовал, что это отличный общественный центр для изучения и изучения музыки. Отличный магазин, дружелюбный персонал для постоянных и новых клиентов, всегда готовый помочь и помочь в том, что вы ищете. Делайте покупки в этом великолепном музыкальном центре Сент-Пола.

Homestead Pickin' Parlor: what do users think?

Zachary Dembovsky: Great people, very cool place

Rama Kisora Dasa: Awesome place to buy anything music related!

Steven Olson: Great little shop packed with tons of music. I found the perfect starter book to learn the banjo.

iggydeohgee: Wonderful shop, stopped in looking for advice on my acoustic setup they were straightforward, extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Got some smaller thumbpicks that are exactly what I was needing.

Tucker “t17389z” Storrs: Great vibes!

Bradley Turflinger: So friendly and helpful, I love this place for all of my mandolin needs.

David Birkman: Personal assistance is a plus. Instructions available for bluegrass instruments which are for sale also.

KP: There are a lot of cool and unique instruments here.The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive.

Randy Burk: A great place to spend time. Check out the instruments. And definitely get to know the staff !

Eapen Chacko: We walked in with a twenty year old Fender mandolin, which had been abandoned in our church choir room; we wanted to repair what we had to in order to donate it to a musician or student who needed an instrument. The owner quickly connected it to an amp and ascertained its wiring was fine. He looked at the strings and said that we should reset the action. This adjustment would be at the bridge and was not an issue of the neck, so this too was good. We left in good hands and look forward to picking it up soon, and the cost was very reasonable. The store is a rare treasure trove of CDs all for $3 apiece. I walked out with two rare CDs featuring Clarence White and the Kentucky Colonels! Banjos and acoustic guitars are on the wall. If you're looking for an instrument or for an adjustment/repair, this is the place. Nice ambiance and friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Cora Egherman: Cozy spot with nice folks and lots of folk instruments!

Noah Johnson: Awesome local music store with a great instrument and accessories offering! Helpful and knowledgeable!

Jesse Anderson: Kind of just old. But a good place to find harmonicas and such.

Muse Jama: I am very happy with the response I got from Schmitt Music. My equipment is on the way

David Mazzola: I had no clue what I needed for my daughter's band class and bass but they treated me very good and were very patient. They had everything we needed and the price was the best value around. Plus they honor the US Military by providing a 10% discount. Check them out , they even give lessons.

Monica Rosales: Great instructors and helpful staff.

Tracey Joy: Super great service by Brody to pick out a new ukulele! Helpful & kind!

Lindsey Haner: Schmitt music is the absolute best anywhere hands down. We have been customers for both band and orchestra instruments for 8 years and they have always taken care of anything we have ever needed. They are organized, professional and every single person has been absolutely great to work with. Thanks!

Angelina Santiago: Замечательный! Я принес свою виолончель на настройку и установку детали. Сделали быстро и бесплатно. Я обязательно вернусь.

Amanda Snyder: Мой шестиклассник решил, что хочет попробовать себя на музыкальном инструменте. Учитель нашего школьного оркестра дал нам контактную информацию двух продавцов инструментов. Мы выбрали музыку Schmitt из-за простоты онлайн-покупки и доставки в школу моего сына в день их начала. До сих пор у нас не было никаких проблем с нашим инструментом, но если они возникнут, я уверен, что Шмитт сразу же придет на помощь.

Julie Swenson: Каждый этап процесса был легко объяснен. Мы были новичками в процессе покупки музыкальных инструментов и были полностью удовлетворены полученной нами помощью.

Adam Lindberg: We have been taking our student to Kramer for over 7 years and continue to enjoy the personalized instruction and attention provided!

Xiurong Tang: My son has been taking piano and music theory lessons at Kramer’s for the past 8 years, and we had a wonderful experience. His teacher, Ms. Iara, has been taught him heartfully and helped him to learn many advanced skills. She has spent extra hours helping him perfect his playing style and technique. She helped him to prepare for many recitals and exams.Her commitment and love for teaching students is evident. We also love and enjoy Ms. Iara’s piano playing, which is so beautiful and flawless.This school has a good learning environment and is a good place to take music lessons. It holds many recitals which are good for students performance. It arranges the students to attend MMTA’s Exams so that know their achievements and ranking places. We are very pleased with this school and would recommend Kramer’s to anyone searching for a music school.

Eleonora is a great teacher with years of experience and we are fortunate to have her as a piano teacher. What we love about her school is that the students are held accountable to practice for their recitals every quarter and they receive trophies and small gifts for their efforts.

Ioana V Pribiag: Our son started here several months ago and it has been wonderful. Tracy Kucherov is his instructor and she is just amazing - so kind and patient while still keeping our son's big energy under control, with impressive pedagogical skills and all kinds of tricks to keep him focused and motivated.
