Musical Instruments And Teachers near North Haven

“I want to give a shout out to the Music Center. My out of town husband needed to practice an instrument during an visit to CT, and at the last minute, the owner kindly arranged for a short term rental for him. During our pickup we couldn’t help but overhear the extremely high quality of teaching and student performance. Even more impressive was the joyful ambiance in this cozy, charming music store. It’s a gem and this community is lucky to have this resource.“

“Andrew overhauled my A Robert oboe. The man is a genius, and takes painstaking care to make the resulting cleaned, rehabbed mechanism work better than new. Knowledgeable and precise, Andrew proved it was not necessary to send my baby to Tennessee. If your oboe has a problem, run, don’t walk to Goldie and Libro, best oboe mechanic in the North East.“

“We've been so happy with our experience at West Main Music Academy. Our teacher,Miss Hannah is patient and knowledgeable. Our 6 year old has been playing piano under Hannah's instruction for just two months and can already read music and play several songs with confidence. West Main celebrates their students and welcomes their families. We highly recommend!“

“Our son started taking lessons with Ms Sandie when he turned 3. He was as playful as a little mouse (well obviously at that age!!) so Ms Sandie started presenting the very concept of music, beats and rhythms through various elements and technics. In no time, his weekly piano lessons turned into this exciting opportunity for him to see his very favorite teacher and try to be best at what she taught him! Ms Sandie’s patience in particular is everything a kid needs when learning at a very young age. Through her creativity, she’s always been able to find a way to get my son’s attention back to music when he’s distracted and make their session valuable and worthwhile. In a few weeks, his classes extended from 15 mins to 30 mins which to me was considered a MAJOR developmental milestone for a hyperactive little boy with short attention span that could barely sit in one place at a time. As far as learning, he’s been making a steady progress, not too fast not too slow. I see some parents look for tutors with fast learning results but what they don’t realize is the faster the learning is, the higher the time commitment on the family’s end NEEDS to be hence the bigger the challenge it might become. This could simply ruin the learning experience if the family doesn’t have the resources while at its best, it might compromise other aspects of social/physical or emotional development of the little child. Practicing piano currently is my son’s daily ritual and none of this would’ve been possible if it wasn’t for Ms Sandie. I’ve also been doing my best in keeping him motivated through accumulating points and reward system in return of his daily practicing. All in all, what you give is what you get. While a great tutor to a young kid is someone who’s knowledgable, kind, patient and creative, the end of learning equilibrium is the FAMILY to reinforce the teachings in between lessons at home and help kids stay motivated by respecting and sitting for their daily practices.No tutor has “the magic stick” to make things happen for us when we lack consistency as parents. But as far as Ms Sandie, she’s got ALL it takes to a get little brain engine started in exploring the very best in the World of Music!! ?“

“Attended as a youth. Did not fully take advantage of the opportunity. Awesome place. Many courses offered. Slightly expensive.“

“I took my ten year old Taylor in for a set up. It was at a point where it was unplayable. After cleaning, adjusting the rods and the saddle, along with new strings, it sounds and plays as good as new. Ken is knowledgeable and easy to work with. Nice selection of guitars and accessories. The fees were very reasonable. I will definitely be a repeat customer.“

“Thank you David for sharing your expertise on sound dampening. I found him to be very knowledgeable and helpful.“
