“Our daughter has taken guitar here for over 5 years. Great school with great teachers!“
“Eric recognized immediately what I need to improve my guitar playing. I feel encouraged, inspired, and motivated to practice after leaving lessons. It’s a bit embarrassing to be just starting guitar at my age because whether it’s true or not, I feel like when people look at me, they assume I’ve been playing for decades. As an adult beginner, it’s nice to have someone at your back saying, “Yes, you can”.“
“Briana Lyn of Briana Lyn Music Studios was a fantastic piano teacher for my two grade school age kids! She was recommended to us by a friend back in 2016 and instructed both my daughter and son with kindness, joy of music, professional skill and an ability to adapt lessons to their specific level. One thing I loved about Briana was her infectious love of music, her beautiful singing voice, and her natural musicality. I highly recommend Briana for anyone looking to have a bright, happy, optimistic piano teacher for yourself or your children!“
“Pete is an outstanding teacher. I'd say certainly he's a "master" teacher—knowing different personalities, learning styles, learning curves of his students. He's analytical, understanding, precise and human. Be ready to learn, practice and really engage and it will be well worth your time and effort. "5 Stars" all the way“
“I'm a teacher at the Saint Paul Conservatory of Music. I have excellent colleagues, nice students who love to learn about music, and friendly surroundings in which to work. There is something for everyone, and I encourage you to check it out. You can arrange your visit, you can come in to have a sample lesson with a teacher, or you can attend the recitals or concerts done by the school in which you can see the many student talents being nurtured and developed. With the school's planned move to Summit Avenue in Saint Paul, as of the end of March 2018, we will be in the heart of the Macalester-Groveland neighborhood, accessible to many people. The school is a well-kept secret, and deserves more notice. Come and see what SPCM has to offer you! �“
“i love watching the students here progress in their abilities from just starting out to taking off and having fun with music, the staff does a great job.“
“Excellent music school. Devoted Executive Director and staff, with knowledgeable, caring and talented faculty. My kids have taken classes here as have I over the years. It’s a hidden gem!“
“Dropped off 2 clarinets, one which hadn't been played in 5+ years. Repair shop was very professional, didn't try to upcharge extra repairs. Staff in the main part of the store was very helpful in suggesting comparably priced and quality alternates when they were out-of-stock of the student reeds I was looking for.<br><br>Pros: Good prices, excellent customer service in repairs and sales<br><br>Cons: Can be hard to find location, odd hours.“
“I've gone twice now to see Millie for a hydra facial. She is amazing! The Metropolitan, as a whole, is also fantastic! It's clean, comfortable and all the staff I have interacted with a very kind and professional. You feel and look great after a trip to The Metropolitan. Thank you!“
“Wonderful experience getting my guitar re-strung. Very kind and helpful staff. Communicative and informative.“
“As a working musician, I have been coming to this store over the past 15 years for great used gear. This store has everything a musician of any level needs. Ken was super helpful today with a guitar purchase for my son. 10/10 will continue to buy gear from this store.“
“I’ve been taking lessons with Vicky for about 5 years now. Both my daughters took lessons with Vicky and as I would sit in on and listen to their lessons, I decided that one day I would take lessons of my own. I was a bit nervous at first because I’ve never studied any kind of instrument and didn’t know how to read music, but Vicky quickly made me feel at ease. She is an excellent teacher and is fun to work with. If I’m less than fully prepared for a lesson, Vicky is patient and understands that sometimes life gets busy. I love playing the piano. Thanks Vicky.“
