“Pawn shops have a better selection of guitars to look through. 5 PRS 2 of which are 7 string and 4 Fenders do not exactly make the one want to spend more that 30 seconds gazing in their direction. Can not rate the lessons they offer as I have not taken a course but even if they were the best guitar lessons money can buy I just can not recommend shopping at this store for instruments. The selection of other instruments was also extremely lacking. Sweetwater and such have really put these kind of establishments out of business. I miss the days of getting to go in a shop and play instruments and actually get to hold in your hands the product your going to buy but I guess those days are over.”

“I rented a trombone for my daughter. She decided after the semester ended she didn’t want to be in band anymore. The return process was easy and convenient and Hannah and Josiah was really nice and helpful and the world needs more people in customer service like them.”

“Love this place. Mr Bryce is an excellent teacher of many instruments. Adding to my post from nearly a year ago. We are still loving Music & Arts. My daughter continues to learn and improve her piano knowledge and skills AND Mr Bryce is STILL amazing 👏 🤩”

“I had a great experience at this music store! The selection was impressive, and the atmosphere was welcoming. Mark, the manager, was especially kind and personable. He took the time to answer my questions, made helpful recommendations, and genuinely seemed passionate about music and helping customers. It's not every day you come across that level of service. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality instruments and friendly, knowledgeable staff!”

“We have been regular customers or Music & Arts for 4+ years. This is a short review to say that I received amazing service from Nick today! He could not have been any more helpful this evening during a difficult time for everyone. Your help and professionalism are greatly appreciated!!”
