Hands down the best music store & school in the Soo! All of the teacher's are amazingly talented, professional and fun. You are always greeted with a smile when you walk in the door and made to feel like you are just part of the family. Can't recommend this store highly enough! Go there for all of your music needs, you will never be disappointed!

I'll start with my only complaint, The In store stock is limited. if you want to walk in, and walk out with an instrument of your choice, that might be an issue. Other than that, they are super helpful and will help you order exactly what you want, including some instruments made in canada! great repair services and music lessons as well.
