My son took guitar lessons for a little over a month and she just focused on a song not teaching basics and was a big waste of money I do not recommend this place.

Great music store. They offer lessons and have a small decent store to purchase equipment from. It's obviously not huge or cheap but not bad priced either. I recommend taking lessons here

We took our son's trumpet there to diagnose an issue and they were able to identify the problem right away. Had them clean the valves and it was ready as scheduled. Would recommend and use them again in the future.

We recently began online lessons with Adrien through KYR. Not only is he professional but so accommodating, patient, skilled, and talented. He is very willing to teach at different levels and meets a student where they are at in their progress. He treats his students with respect and displays the perfect balance between being patient and encouraging them to strive for more. The supportive staff at KYR has also been incredibly kind and helpful.
