San Diego Music Studio

We went to a children’s music show today with The Boo Hoo Crew. It was awesome!!! My kids loved it.
I asked and they said they will be having a free music show here every other Thursday morning at 9:30.
BRING YOUR KIDS!!!

I went into the studio with my sister to rent a clarinet for my niece and I inquired about guitar lessons. They told me they have 1 free one hour group lesson; so I scheduled on and I have been going back every week ever since. They say first impressions last forever. Well, let me tell you all, my impression of the staff, their customer service, willingness to assist you with your musical needs and the over all feel of how they treat their students is AMAZING. They have never made me feel intimidated or inadequate because I was in the beginning stages of learning how to play the guitar. Being an war veteran, not only has learning how to play the guitar help as an outlet to subside some emotional periods I suffer from PTSD, the staff at the San Diego Music Studio have been EXTREMELY supportive in my learning the guitar. I can sincerely say, I feel at home at home every time I walk through the doors every week.
Regarding my instructor, I have been a guitar student of Bill Jones since Sept 2014 and I cannot express how grateful I am for teaching me how to play. His patience with his younger students is amazing also. He is very professional and EXTREMELY knowledgable with many years of experience under his belt. With that said, I highly recommend him as your next guitar instructor.
In closing, I want to sincerely thank Bill, Kimberly, Jesse, Raymond, Ryan and Robin for your support in making my learning experience enjoyable and providing an «at home feel» for me.

I have purchased a few things from San Diego Music Studio and I really like their customer service, every time they were very patient and helped me find the right product. I also have my 4 year old in piano lessons and he really enjoys it. The whole staff is always very nice, they greet you with a smile and are there to help in any way they can :)

Kimberly is awesome!!! I came in to have my sister’s Sax worked on and had it done in a timely matter. She was very friendly and helpful. We’ve been coming here in 2009. The staff is great. Thank you guys so much (:

This store knows customer service! I had a really nice clarinet that I needed to get fixed. They took care of it like it was their own baby. They do great work with repairs and have a nice friendly staff. While I was here, I also saw a wide selection of musical instruments for rent and essentially everything you would need to get the kids started on their instruments. They also have lessons! If your instruments needs repairs or you have just simple questions, San Diego Music Studio is the place to go!

My kids had a free first class in piano and guitar. Both were very nervous for their first ever music lesson; however, their instructors immediately made them feel welcome. The office staff were very courteous and helpful as well. We look forward to our next lesson!

I really like this music studio and more importantly my kids like it. They have been taking piano lessons for the past couple years and recently started taking guitar lessons. The teachers work well with the students. In addition they are flexible with your schedule and allow you to do make ups which works well with our busy schedule that is constantly changing.

As far as repairs go, the staff just does not care enough.
When I called to see if the flute was ready since I really needed to get it to my daughter to school in time (repairs are done only once a week 8:00 — 12:00) they wouldn’t even check it’s status (I’d expect a little more understanding when asking on a status of repair needed urgent, when the window for repair is only on Tuesday from 8:00 — 12:00)
They just told me to wait for them to call, which they didn’t… I eventually just went there at 12:00, and it was repaired, but not cleaned, although I clearly asked it to be repaired AND cleaned. I took it as is, only getting an apology, and a suggestion to bring it some other time (I know it’s an honest mistake, but I’d expect from a caring costumer service to offer some kind of compensation)
So, I’ll find a different place to clean the flute…

The staff is awesome. This is not just a place where kids take lessons, its a community. They understand kids and make it fun.

Great, friendly service. Bit of a misnomer the «san diego» name, it’s not in San Diego. But, good selection, staff knew what they were talking about, and prices were pretty good.

San Diego Music studio is your all inclusive go to music store, and the place is huge. They sell and rent instruments, and supplies, and give lessons in a huge variety of instruments including the ukulele.
After researching music lessons, twice, once recently for my youngest, and six years ago for my oldest, San Diego Music Studios priced just right for hour-​long, group lessons. Unfortunately neither of my children has a great musical aptitude, but they enjoy the lessons anyway and play well in the regular recitals.
I have never received anything but the very best customer service, each associate is knowledgeable in music and the instruments, even for instruments they themselves may not play. I would recommend San Diego Music Studio to anyone looking to get their child involved in music.

The store looks small from the outside, but is really big on the inside. They have rooms for lessons, and a large variety of music books. The store is very family oriented and friendly. Staff was super nice, friendly, and very helpful! If I had kids, I would take them here for music lessons!

I met Anthony through a neighbors granddaughter who used to take lessons there,
so I thought I would try them out. It was the best thing I ever did! Eveyone is really knowledgeable about music, and very friendly. I would recommend them highly, you won’t be dissapointed.

My Daughter has excelled in piano with Kathleen. She loves going to class and continues practicing at home. Great new location and fantastic selection of music materials.

This is fun. I had to use my Groupon for my piano lessons and this place delivers! On my first lesson, Kathyrn was my instructor and she was pretty good in providing adult learning techniques. Granted, I was the only adult student in the room.
I felt like I was 20 years older than everyone in the room. Oh wait, I am 20 years older than everyone in the room. No biggie, at least I got my bucket list checked off on my official piano lessons.
But still, even with the subsequent lessons, I enjoyed learning something new. Kathyrn was very patient and she obviously knows her piano theory and practice. I was amazed by her expertise.
I was motivated by her instruction and techniques. Unfortunately I’m moving to the OC so I won’t be able to get any future lessons here. Pretty decent pricing too. For $ 89 a month you either get 4 to 5 lessons, depending on if there are 4 or 5 weeks in the month. So it’s a little over 20 bucks per week assuming there is only 4 weeks in that month.
And they do the automatic payment thing so you don’t have to worry about being late on the bills and it forces the student to actually go to class because you are committed to paying on a monthly basis.

SDMS has been around for over 10 years. They offer classes, instrument rentals, kids camp, and a music shop. My daughter has been taking piano lessons there for over a year and really enjoys the instructors and the atmosphere. As a parent, I can tell they value their students and are involved in what they teach. My daughter is continuously challenged. We’re very happy with SDMS!
