Arrived during posted business hours (~6:20pm) to purchase some items but I arrive to a sign reading No counter service available. Personal lessons only now, please come back later. While I appreciate the fact they give lessons, you can hire someone to work to the desk so you dont lose customers or sales. So their open sign is really an open sign. Please post more accurate open hours or hire more staff to resolve this in the future.

My daughter has taken piano lessons here for 5 years. She can be shy but her instructor is so positive and encouraging that she just loves her. She takes the time after her lesson to share with me what they are working on and how my daughter is doing. Our instructor also teaches flute and is very flexible when my daughter wants to switch gears and get some extra help with that instrument. The music store has been great and very flexible with any changes to fit in our crazy schedule. The owners are very kind and friendly.

My daughter has taken lessons at Falls River Music for 5 years and she has grown as a musician. The teachers are talented and patient with students. The staff is great and flexible. I would highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for either an intro to an instrument, or someone who is looking for an intermediate to advanced level. Easy to work with and convenient location.

My kids have taken lessons here for years and I love the personal touch given by Steven and Michelle. There was a period of time when my daughter was going through a stage of shyness and they made her feel so welcome, comfortable, and like family. I love having these folks right in the neighborhood.

We have been with Fall’s River for several years. Fall’s River Music is not the closest music store for our family, but we wouldn’t consider going anywhere else. Steve and Michelle are both very easy to work with, and they are always quick to respond to any unexpected schedule changes or any questions we may have. My son’s drum instructor is Michael and he is fantastic with him. He (my son) is legally blind and is unable to see the sheet music. Michael has tailored his lessons in a way that he is able to learn the music in a non-traditional way. Fall’s River is the only place for my young musician 😊

Falls River Music is great. Bob, Steve, and others there really care about those who are taking lessons and do all they can to educate and share knowledge. The lessons are great and then you can actually perform through recitals, band camps, and student bands.

I was looking for a fun way to ensure our son practiced his trombone over the summer. I found their summer camp, and figured we would give it a shot. When I picked him up the very first day he asked if he could sign up for a second week because he had so much fun. He learned so much in 2 weeks, and had a great time! It was so fun watching the kids during the end of camp concert! Steve was great with the kids, and made sure my son always had parts to play! Hes already asking when the next camp is! We were very happy!

I brought a used bass to Falls River Music this past week to have it checked out, have a setup done, and to ask that they investigate some fret and nut buzz. They estimated the price at $45, which is less than a setup costs at your typical big-brand guitar store. I got the call yesterday, the actual price was $15 because they didnt find any issues calling for any more involved operations.They could have just charged me the forty-five bucks and I wouldve been happy to pay it, but they gave me a square deal, and thats what you can expect. The staff and the owner are friendly and polite, and Im looking forward to signing up for some bass lessons here before too long.

My kids have been taking music lessons at Falls River Music for years now and they love it! The instructors really listen to my kids and get a feel for their taste in music so they can make learning fun for them. Both of my boys want to practice and make their music teachers proud and thats because of that student/teacher rapport. Besides the lessons, my kids have done the summer camps, recitals (free here), and (when they were ready) the open mic nights. We always find instructors just hanging around on open mic night - just to support their students! Where else do you find that kind of support?Before we went to Falls River Music, we tried 2 other music lesson places in our area. One of them had so much overturn, my son had a new teacher 4 times in 1 year! At the other place, the teachers were very strict and my kids were always nervous around them.I highly recommend Falls River Music - and I have recommended them to several friends who are also happy there.

Signed up through Groupon, had no problems using the coupon then continued on month to month. My daughter really likes the instruction, Michael, for drums. Have had good experiences/interactions with both owners and since the waiting area is in the lobby I get to see a lot of other interactions. Everyone working and coming for lessons seems to be happy, things seem to run pretty efficiently as well and you can see that many long term relationships have been built with parents, teachers, and students. Would recommend as lessons are reasonably priced to allow your child explore their musical side!

Worst customer service. This is the second time I have visited this music store during their posted business hours and no one was there. I waited 20 min after time to open and finally had to leave.

This was by far one of the WORST experiences we have EVER had. We bought a groupon to try out this music school. We set up the time with the owner. Our kids were taking guitar and piano. We really LOVED the piano instructor. The guitar instructor was okay.My first red flag should have been when the owner wanted to charge me for the trial after finding out I had a groupon. I actually received 3 lessons for a 4 lesson groupon. Then it started. We went in one day and we were told by the staff on duty that we owed money for all of the past lessons. We paid what was requested of us and asked to be called by someone who handled the books so we could work it out. The owner was Steve was extremely rude and after taking way too much time out of my work day I finally understood his ridiculous bookkeeping methods. Btw- I have a college degree in mathematics. At that point I started keeping my own records. I knew we wouldnt be returning and I was showing that we were owed one more lesson from the money I paid them. I asked to have them clarified on their end. Once again Steve called me but this time SCREAMING that I never paid them. I sent him an email with the 2 groupons attached as well as the large payment I made and told him we wouldnt be returning. Life is too busy to work with someone of this demeanor who cant handle their bookkeeping. It was again the most ridiculous experience I think I have EVER had with a business owner. I have NEVER been treated so disrespectfully by someone who is trying to earn your hard earned money. It is a shame too as again we really loved the piano instructor but NEVER NEVER NEVER would I go back here because the owner is a mess.
