Musical Instruments And Teachers near Burbank

“I've dealt with a lot of pro audio dealers over the years. I've had a few experiences with my "go to" venders in the past that put me and my business in very bad situations, or left me feeling like no one cared about my business at all. Vintage King miraculously saved the day each time.

The first time my usual shop was putting in a special order with a company in Germany and I had sessions booked shortly after the expected delivery date (and being a nascent studio, my gear selection was minimal at that time, so I needed everything I had). As the date was approaching the vender suddenly went dark and after MANY calls and emails I finally got lucky and got someone on the phone. They told me the order somehow never was placed on their end and there was nothing they could do to help me in time for my session! My next call was to Vintage King. Expecting a similar answer from them, I called anyway just in case they had something in stock. They didn't. But they somehow did manage to get the equipment I needed from Germany all the way to LA, and then to Boston in time for my session! I still can't believe it.

I have a few more less dramatic situations that made other venders look less than ideal, and once again Vintage King proved why they are the king of customer service. The first time was no accident. To me their name is more like a well earned title. The only reason I had a few other bad experiences with other shops after VK saved the day was that I ended up getting out of the recording business for about 6 years. I had a few small interactions with a local place (trying to support my neighbors), and another pro audio place that had something in stock that I was looking for. Not a mistake I will make again.

Now building up my home rig for personal use, I had an issue with a demo unit I bought from VK. One phone call and I had an email with the return label. I shipped it back the next day and they immediately send the replacement... NEW! I then had big issues with the delivery (to say the least). I called up my rep Bret and he was already on top of it. He had some info that I didn't which he emailed over before I could even ask. Shortly after that I got a phone call from the delivery driver who then left the package. Bret called 30 SECONDS LATER to let me know he just received the notice of delivery and to let him know if there was any issue. Good luck getting that service ANYWHERE else. Thanks to Bret and everyone else at VK! Call Bret for your new gear, you will be glad you did!“

“I've been taking vocal lessons with Lloyd for a few months now and every lesson is a pleasure. Lessons are customized to YOUR goals and Lloyd is supportive in providing both structured and fun ways of reaching them! He has an incredible “ear” and never fails to make his students feel comfortable and welcomed in his home. He’s the definition of a warm, patient, and truly caring teacher. 100% recommend!“

“Great shop!! Ordered late in the afternoon soon before closing and they had product shipped in less than an hour. I don’t mean just a shipping label created in the USPS system, it was on its way to me! Roger and Jonathan were both very nice and professional. 2 thumbs up ? ?“

“My son loves learning guitar from Jesse! Jesse is patient and very engaging with my 6 year old and his 6-year old attention span and we are very happy with my son's progress so far! Highly recommend!“

“Working with Kira has been the best thing I could have done for my voice. She is so knowledgeable in the technical aspects of the voice and has helped me overcome an issue I've struggled with my entire life as a singer. I have brought this issue to multiple other teachers and no one was able to help me before Kira. She has changed my voice and I am forever grateful!“

“I've had the absolute joy of taking guitar lessons with Allie and I can't recommend her enough! As a neurodivergent learner I appreciate the way Allie meets me where i'm at. Allie is patient, encouraging, and inspiring! Thank you Allie :)“

“I first went to Performance Guitar when I was a teenager back in the early 1980s. They were on Yucca Street in Hollywood at the time. Even back then, Kenny already had big name clients like Frank Zappa, Steve Vai, and Warren De Martini. Later, he would do custom work for Joe Walsh and Warren Cuccurullo, among many others. In 2021, I brought in my Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster for a setup and fret dress and my Fender American Fretless Jazz Bass for its first setup. Kenny did a great job with both guitars. His attention to detail is unmatched. There is nobody else who works on Fenders like Kenny. He worked alongside Leo Fender at Fender for many years back in the day, so he knows his stuff. Kenny's own line of hand-made custom guitars are highly regarded. Highly recommended.“

“RIP John Davies! Thank you for filling me with knowledge and technique. Thank you for your confidence in me. You shared your gift of Opera with the world. What a ride. May the music in heaven be as sweet as the sounds you gave us here on earth. Until we meet again.....“

“Great school with great instructors, Hasmik is very talented and well versed in all things music! And the kids LOVE her“

“I highly recommend studying with Ted. Ted's musicianship is unparalleled (check out his Ellington CD!), and his teaching matches that. He takes things that are very complicated and turns them into something much more digestible. It's so worth it; I've improved so much. Thank you Ted!“

“Both my daughters went here and we loved it! Sapir is one of the most honest, loving and sweet people you will meet - she truly cares about the students and hires the most wonderful staff. They learn through play and sensory activities. When I asked my kids at the end of every day what their favorite part of their day was, they always respond "going to gan". I couldn't have asked for a better place to send my kids!!!“

“My daughter was struggling in math ,and she wasn’t really understanding the material and she was very confused , but with tutoring at SIS ENRICHMENT CENTER everything seemed much easier and she was able to bring her grade up ! She is much more confident in math now! I’m glad I met Mr.Norayr , I would definitely recommend this place.“

“I was in LA visiting in-laws and needed something to do with my daughter to pass the time. We swung by ChickaBoom and my kid had a blast. Good music and friendly instructors. We plan on returning the next time we're in town.“

“This place is a drummers dream. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. They have a lot of brands/models on hand that guitar center doesn’t carry.“

“My son has been asking for voice lessons. It isn't easy to find male vocal coaches, and so when we won a gift certificate in a school auction for HAM I was prepared for a difficult drive across town and potential disappointment in the coaching. We have been taking lessons every week for two months now and I am so impressed! They accommodated our request for Saturday morning lessons, and he has a male coach who is helping tremendously with navigating his voice change and preparing him for upcoming musical performances. The staff has been friendly and service e has been top notch. It's completely worth the drive!“

“Absolutely the best guitar manufacture on the planet. I've had nothing but good experiences with the staff always quality products. Communication is awesomeand the service is fast and friendly.“
