Musical Instruments And Teachers near Conshohocken

“Great experience picked up an Ibanez acoustic electric sounded really great an not that expensive. Was able to test it and the staff was very friendly and helpful.“

“Jessica has been teaching my daughter singing and piano lessons and we've had a great experience. Jessica is warm and talented and my daughter looks forward to seeing her every week!“

“We have had a great time at Green Tambourine- my then 5 year old started by attending a weekend open house, followed by a summer camp and now regular violin lessons. Ms Ann is an amazing teacher who not only teaches the kids music, but is also able to fill them with the joy that comes from learning music; the whole environment at GT is just so wonderful. They are very flexible and offer make up classes. Last year, they agreed to summer classes just so that we keep up the skills. We absolutely love Green Tambourine and encourage others to explore!“

“Widest selection of imported stringed instruments, imported drums, woodwind, etc, in the region. Joe has been a neighborhood fixture for many years and brings a wealth of knowledge. A true gem.“

“Update:2023Our son is now a Junior in high school and college prep and other studies have taken over his schedule. He will need to pause his formal music education for awhile, but the time spent at Chestnut Hill Music Academy was worth it!We are so thankful for the many years of dedication by his instructors and for making music education fun.He can now play the drums, guitar, a little piano, and recently added Tuba and handbells as part of his continuing music participation in school. He has recently joined his 2023 class induction into the Nation Honor Music Society!Thank you Mickey for your leadership and passion for teaching music, and we wish many more years of success to the Chestnut Hill Music Academy community.------------2018Our son loves his music lessons from Chestnut Hill Music Academy! His teacher is patient and knows how to keep our son's interest in music. He actually enjoys practicing because the songs are both challenging and fun to play. Even if not always easy to listen to :-). We receive great value for the lessons, and make-up sessions are flexible. After sticking with his instrument, he now has the confidence to play in both school and church orchestras. We would highly recommend this music school for all ages!“

“I had a wonderful experience at Fred Oster Fine Violins yesterday. Fred was kind enough to show me about 12 very nice Italian violins. Oster has an excellent collection of fine violins. Fred’s knowledge of these instruments is truly impressive. He made some wonderful suggestions to me. I especially appreciated his direct honesty in regards to the condition and true origin of each violin. We narrowed our search down to a fabulous Mezzadri and beautiful Scarampella violin. I do not live on the east coast but Oster Violins will be a frequent stop for me in the future when I am out this way. Catherine Jacobs was very helpful with arranging all the details of my visit and Samantha was nice enough to play several of the violins from a distance to get a better feel for projection. Highly recommend Fred if you are looking to buy a nice violin. Fred is indeed an expert on Italian violins. Thank you AndrewJust an update: I did choose the Alessandro Mezzadri violin. Love it. Thanks Fred and Catherine for all your help.“

“My daughter has been taking classes and lessons at Settlement going on 5 years now. She’s also in the youth choir. They offer financial aid and run a preschool program. The teachers are top notch and the school as a whole provides a nice sense of community. Though a lot of the instruction is classical oriented—and that may be a newcomer’s takeaway after looking through the website, my daughter plays folk and rock mostly. Anything goes, just let them know what you want/need.“

“Excellent customer service both in person and on the phone. We visited for a trombone rental, which was very easy and a great option versus buying the instrument in full. They have a great selection of musical instruments and the staff is very knowledgeable. Thanks again!“
