ARTHUR'S MUSIC STORE REVIEWS

Amazing people, very smart / they know the equipment well. I had a wonderful experience with all of the staff on Monday November 18th, and cannot wait to return and buy/trade/take lessons. I am on near Castleton/Fishers and dropped unannounced and felt like I was treated with respect and dignity as a musician and friend. Thanks for a wonderful experience, I hope to come back after Thanksgiving - I have loads of old amps I may consign and every type of instrument (well, almost - I certainly don’t own a stand up bass or one (actually two) of the oldest Harlin Bros pedal steels I’ve ever seen. I almost took home the project multikord and btw, Steve mentioned someone called and asked about pedal attachments, and I think I may have what that guy needs so feel free to connect.

My wife and I made our first visit to Arthur’s yesterday. Very friendly staff and wonderful store. Looking for my 1st banjo. Emily was so friendly and helpful. She spent a lot of time showing us and explaining all about banjos. Decided to purchase one and she made sure all was alright with it and went over care of the banjo. Thank you Emily and Arthur’s. Definitely will be back in the future and will recommend to friends. It was worth the hour drive to get there.

Great music store in Indy. I love that is local and has been in Fountain Square a long time. Highly recommend for those who play stringed instruments.

INDIANAPOLIS MUSIC ACADEMY REVIEWS

The entire team at Indianapolis Music Academy is amazing. We’ve had multiple teachers help us over our time there. Each teacher truly cares about there students and helps them with great music instruction. They definitely treat everyone like family. Our children have really enjoyed their time there and have made a lot of progress in their music abilities. They even helped us form a band, which has been a lot of fun and a great learning experience. Thanks Indianapolis Music Academy.

My sister and I have taken lessons for 6 years, and I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. We've found a family here, one that we can chat, jam out, and laugh with. Mr. Mike is a fantastic teacher and always makes his students smile. Indy Music Academy has a very relaxed, open atmosphere and environment while still pushing us students to work our hardest and perform our very best during performances. It's truly a one-of-a-kind.

Mike is an excellent guitar teacher with a spotlessly clean studio. He takes the time out to be super patient, professional, and nice with my 7 year old son. We would recommend him to the beginner and up individuals wanting to learn how to play the guitar! You will not be disappointed.

BONGO BOY MUSIC SCHOOL REVIEWS

My daughter took music production lessons with Ed. She learned so much! Happy to say she was accepted to every university she applied to, including her top choice: Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University. Only 15 kids are accepted into the Sound and Audio Engineering program each year and she got in!! They were impressed with the portfolio she submitted, part of which was created in Ed’s studio. But that’s not all… Jacobs offered her several scholarships, so her lessons with Ed have really paid off. Thanks, Ed.

Excellent music school! My son has lessons with Ben. He has been a great mentors for my son. He structures lessons around his interest to teach the appropriate skills, he assists him in structuring reasonable goals for improvement and he always exudes a passion for music that engages my son in exploring new possibilities. It's a bit of a drive for us but completely worth the education and connections.

Went to the drum circle for the first time, fun experience, and the the owners are very friendly. Plenty of drums to use, and separate ones to purchase also. The place is big with many training or teaching rooms, I didn’t have much time to really check it out.
