“In only 3 years, Dr Denis has truly elevated my children’s understanding and appreciation for music. Dr Denis doesn’t follow a specific curriculum but has such a wide breadth of musical knowledge that he instinctively knows which piece of music will challenge without overwhelming. My kids continue to progress and it is amazing to see how they’ve gone from playing simple level 1 Faber pieces (with a different teacher) to MMTA level 7 pieces in only 3 years.<br><br>Dr Denis is caring and is genuinely invested in helping each of his students. In my opinion, he has gone above and beyond in helping my<br>kids and our family when it comes to all things music - he helped us find a beautiful piano! He goes beyond simply teaching my kids piano - he shows appreciation and encourages my children in all their musical endeavors.<br><br>Dr Denis is truly a talented pianist - be on the lookout for his upcoming concerts! My children are so incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to learn from him.“
“My daughter took the My First Music class with Dimitra and thoroughly enjoyed it! The separating class was great for developing her creativity, rhythm and ability to create song lyrics (believe it or not). From what we heard, the music selections were very mature and diverse - we (like most parents) don't like most music geared towards kids and appreciate the exposure to more worldly music.“
“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!“
“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.“
“I cannot recommend this dealer highly enough! I have worked with this outfit for both rental and purchase situations and my every time, they deliver a superb, reasonably priced product with excellent customer service. They are very attuned to tailoring any rental or purchase to the needs of the customer.“
“Went through the drive thru , went quickly, everything went well order was correct it was awesome Thank you!“
“I was BLOWN AWAY by Stacie in our initial conversation and first lesson. She was like the Mary Poppins of piano teachers - I can't think of a better way to describe it. So fun, Patient, competent, creative and tuned-in to my daughter. We've wanted to start piano for years now but my daughter's ADHD has made it impossible. I watched her in the 45 minutes shine as her BEST self. Can't wait to see where it goes from here.“
“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! �“
“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.“
