Amazing musicians with amazing talent. Been a pleasure to work with them over the last year. Phil is an extraordinary guitarist and teacher and I have enjoyed Sydney as a voice coach as well.

The staff was very professional and approachable. The repair was beyond expectations. Costs were quite affordable. My guitar is 34 years old. The appearance and most importantly the sound quality is outstanding now. It is an great improvement. It sounds better now than it did new. The guitar luthier is a true craftsman and artist. I highly recommend their services.

Our experience at Music Royale has been nothing short of fantastic. The instructors there not only know their instruments and their craft inside and out, they also are patient, energetic, and fabulous people. I highly recommend Sara to any student who needs guitar lessons.
