San Diego Music Studio

I attended a super-fun ukulele jam on Saturday afternoon. Friendly, welcoming group of players, great song selection. Just the upbeat vibe I needed after staying home alone for a year. Thankful to be able to be out and about again - and to have found the uke group at San Diego Music Studio. Appreciate you!!

This store CARES!! ...about you. ...about your kid. ...about their school's music program. And they will do everything they can to make your experience the best that they can provide! Years of piano lessons, over a decade of supporting our school district's bands and orchestras, and a team of employees who are knowledgeable and friendly makes this little shop the absolute BEST in all of North County (or, dare I say, the county!). LOVE THEM!!!

We were looking to get a flute repaired and visited this location, having heard good experiences from others and being quoted a quick turnaround for the repair over the phone. Unfortunately, our service experience was rather disappointing. The staff present seemed inexperienced in working with customers. We were told they required a $20 for a same-day evaluation of the instrument, which we agreed to as the repair was urgent. However, the staff came back afterwards saying the instrument required "General Adjustments" (for which we were quoted a charge of $95), without explaining what was wrong with the instrument. The staff didn't make much of an attempt to understand what was wrong with the instrument or provide clarification when we asked what exactly what was going to be fixed. We came back a few days later when the instrument was ready for pick up, and the issue we were facing was not fixed! After this, we talked with one of the mechanics there and explained the issue, and they were able to identify the issue and repair the instrument, rather quickly in fact! Had we been able to do this from the beginning, we could have saved a lot of time and headache. We will not be returning to this location for future repairs.

So I've been searching for a 1/4 violin for my son and it seems like a lot of music stores just don't have inventory. And if they had it, it was for rent only. Well, this store does! And its pretty much a one stop shop. I've been also looking for a shoulder rest for him and this store had exactly what I was looking for (and tons of them to be exact). Their rental prices per month were also the cheapest around town. They have a "rent to own" type of thing where if you end up paying the price of the violin, you just get to keep it. Kinda cool. Also, this store pays attention to the small details. So many stores have untuned violins on display. Their violins on display are tuned!!! How refreshing. Anyways, the store looks small, but is huge inside. We came around school band season and they had tons (and I mean tons) of instruments laying around for kids and their school bands. Tons of selection for sheet music too. They had a Super mario songs book for piano which my kids gravitated towards. Anything to make them want to learn music. It'll be my future music purchase once they can read notes. They also offer lessons inside the store which is nice. We live a little too far for lessons, but if we lived closer, I would definitely be coming here for lessons. Clean store, and super friendly staff who know their music and you can ask them questions about any instruments. David was super friendly and helpful!
