The Music Store

I have to disagree with Judy on this one! The Music Store has been a incredible sources of music and information for me as a high school choir director, a community director, private instructor and music student. Their inventory is more complete than any other music store I've been to and their willingness to special order anything has been extremely helpful. I find the staff to be friendly, courteous, and knowledgable and have always been welcomed with a smile and "Can I help you find something?". I would and do refer colleagues and students to The Music Store without hesitation and will continue to do so! more

This store is conveniently located next to a great Chinese restaurant, so I am always tempted to stop in and browse. However, I have been disappointed repeatedly in their selection and staff. The store carries mostly guitars, with a few drum kits and woodwinds thrown in. They sell some accessories, but not basics like violin strings, which I would expect any music store to stock. Their staff is snooty, rude, and completely uneducated about what the store sells and offers. Any question I've ever had (what age do you start piano lessons? do you carry violin strings? do you offer Suzuki Method?) has been met with a puzzled glance and a dash to find someone else to wait on me. I don't know how they stay in business, but it won't be through me. more
