one of the best experiences of my life

by sbacastow at Citysearch

My son and I have been taking guitar lessons together for 3 years from the same teacher at Ponce De Leon Music Center in Georgia. This has been one of the best experiences of my life, short of discovering North Point Church. We have learned to play songs and we have learned THEORY. I woujld not consider purchasing a musical instrument or takng lessons anywhere else. Thank you Ponce De Leon Music.

• Pros: Great teachers and products

Trusted Music Source!

by Toffee at Citysearch

I got my clarinet there, and when it broke, we brought it back, they fixed it in less then a week, and I got a loner clarinet for free!

I also have an antique flute that I brought to them and they totally fixed it, no switching or stealing!

I can trust them to provide me with a proper instrument.

Thank you Ponce De Leon!

• Pros: I Could Trust Them With My Antique Flute!
• Cons: NONE!

One of the best!

by thedarkwithin9 at Citysearch

My father was looking to rent a sound system with a PA for a party. He fired dozens of questions at the employees, they answered all of them and even told him what system would best suit his needs. They even hooked him up in the price. My father was very pleased with their service.

I have taken guitar lessons at different music stores with different teachers. I have been at ponce de leon for over two years and I think my teacher is probably the best teacher ever. If you are an intermediate or beginning guitar player the teachers here know their music theory to help you out along the learning process.

• Pros: Wide array of equipment and instruments, Repair and Maintenance service, Qualified teachers and staff,
• Cons: Cons...well sort of. Prices may look high on intruments, however i can say 10 times out of 10 they will lower the price for a customer.

Amazing Guitar Instruction

by EugenieRose at Citysearch

My son is receiving awesome guitar instruction. He started taking lessons in January 2007 and is now able to play a song by Joe Satriani. His instructor has amazing talent and has a wonderful passion for music and teaching others about music. His instructor is flexible with our schedule and the cost is very reasonable. I'm always greeted when we enter the store. The staff and other instructors are always pleasant and eager to assist you. This instructor and school are a blessing to us. Thank you all for your hard work, dedication and service to our community to keep music alive!

• Pros: Big selection of guitars
• Cons: None

Two Thumbs Up & Five Stars - Best Music Center in the State of Georgia

by JoanieJetBoat at Citysearch

I have been a customer & student at Ponce De Leon Music Center for over a year. The instructors possess a high degree of technical training and extensive knowledge of musical theory as well as a true passion for teaching. I have purchased 2 guitars and a variety of accessory items and books. The staff is always attentive, readily available, courteous and eager to assist with extraordinary customer service. Put me at the top of their fan list!!!!

Go anywhere but here

by chachacherrybomb at Citysearch

I have dealt with this store for several years and finally got fed up - their guitar teachers, as far as I experienced, knew nothing about teaching theory and were only interested in teached tableture - which, if you're trying to be a musician, is useless. Also, the last time I spoke to anyone on the phone there, they were so rude and condescending that I will never go there again, nor will I ever recommend it to anyone.

• Pros: one of few music shops in the area
• Cons: customer service, knowledge

Terrible customer service and incompetent technicians

by MattParsons at Citysearch

I hate to write a review like this, but I feel that it is necessary to warn others before they get caught in the same situation I was in.

Long story made short:

I gave them my guitar to fix and they made it worse than it was. They tried to blame me for messing up the wiring even though they did it, and they refused to restore it to perfect working order. The entire time they gave me a terrible attitude, as though they resented that I brought my guitar there for them to work on. They went as far as insulting me and made the accusation that I was lying to them.

Horrible experience.

You can read the complete story on my MySpace. This website won't allow me to link directly to it, but the address is myspace. com/parsonsmatt

• Pros: They sell musical instrument gear and offer lessons
• Cons: They are 10-15% overpriced on everything they carry, and their technicians are incompetent
