Ian teaches guitar and is an awesome teacher. Great with a beginning 8 year old. I would highly recommend booking lessons from him. Couldn't be happier. Thanks for everything

We went to Island Music in New London and Scott was absolutely amazing. Scott is very friendly and professional, and anything you would be looking for when you're out looking for a new instrument. Scott sent us to Neenah and Randy, one of the owners was very professional, kind, and accommodating. It was a fun experience, and we walked away with a great guitar and we went back the following day to purchase a keyboard. Island music is our only "go to" music store from now on. Thank you Island music, we love our new instruments, and we love you too Island Music!

Steve was great to deal with, very knowledgeable. Traded in an Ibanez guitar for a different ibanez, Steve was more than fair for the trade. Extremely happy with the new guitar. Thanks again.

Always friendly people working. I go in for odds and ends, the have guitar parts and pieces and a little used section. A good "mom and pop" type music shop atmosphere. They do band instruments and lessons as well. I was in (this time) for some patch cables to tidy the bass board and had a great experience 03/09 11am

Super knowledgeable and friendly staff. The selection of acoustic guitars is top shelf and I could tell Steve really had a passion for these instruments and wasn't just trying to make a sale like most other stores. I will continue to go back whenever I need anything music related. Thanks a bunch guys!
