Now that people can gather in a limited way, my family chose to have my mother's burial service this week and asked me to play flute at the ceremonies. I haven't played in years having sold my flute years ago to pay bills. David at La Jolla music found an appropriate used flute for me to purchase. I couldn't test it due to COVID restrictions which is completely understandable. When I got it home, I found it wasn't a good fit for me.

I emailed the store and received a quick response from David. He allowed me to return that instrument and select one that turned out to be just perfect for my needs. David was extremely professional and friendly. I highly recommend visiting this store for instruments for you or your children. I didn't realize how much space this store had as well for lessons and instruction. Very impressed and grateful. Thank you, La Jolla Music

This place is great to bring your kids in for lessons of all kinds! It's very clean and there is a comfortable waiting area and great teachers. My son takes bass lessons with Tony Muhammed and he's the real deal. Easy street parking and payments. My son loves it!

At least for lessons there is a wide selection of excellent teachers, most who offer a free first lesson. The staff is friendly and the email lesson reminders are helpful.

La Jolla Music is a great place to learn music. The site is expanding with more practice rooms. Joshua Voss is my son's guitar teacher. He is wonderful and works with his student to tap their full music potential. Kelly Duley is my other son's piano teacher. She is a great teacher and I would highly recommend her.

My son and I came in to check on a saxophone rental a few days ago, and unfortunately they didn't have any available. I left my name and number for them to contact me upon any returns, not really expecting a call. As promised, Eric I believe, called me the next day to let me know they just had one return from the shop. When I went to pick it up, the man and woman behind the desk were very helpful with all of my questions, which made me feel at ease due to my lack of musical experience. We plan on looking into lessons as well.

Very nice and knowledgable staff! The store is well stocked and nearly always has the parts I need for instrumemt repairs. The teachers are talented, specific shout outs to the very talented Jonathan Nussman and also to the front desk guy Jaw.
