"This place is wonderful! If you haven't been there, try it. They have beautiful instruments, and it's a great place to go. The employees are very helpful. Put music in your life — you'll find joy. Try this place, you're gonna love it!"

"My son has been taking 30-minute weekly lessons from Kent for over two years now. Kent stuck with him every step of the way, encouraging him just enough with a 'hey, you've got this' attitude. Over the years, he's helped shape him into the player he is today. We couldn't be happier."

"I began taking singing lessons with Bridgid at The Music Factory and had a great time. My voice got consistently better, and I felt like I was given quality instruction and good ideas for practicing at home. Bridgid is laid-back, friendly, and a great instructor."

"This place is laid-back and the instruction is of high quality. I took a series of piano lessons with Matt who was fantastic — knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, and great at breaking things down. They were also flexible with my schedule, offering weekend and later appointments."

"I was impressed by The Music Factory. Their teachers are active in the music community and masterful at making singing accessible for even yoddlers like me! Shalane helped me sing soprano more like a siren goddess and less like a siren ambulance. I was able to master techniques I'd been stuck on for years. Now I don't embarrass myself at karaoke!"

"I took several guitar classes with Kimo — he's an excellent instructor and very personable. He was more concerned with teaching me how to play rather than trying to get me to pay for more sessions. I still have his helpful notes! I'm giving them five stars because of Kimo."

"I love this place. Going on my second year of guitar lessons with Alex M. Great atmosphere and great teacher."

"Alex is an amazing teacher. My daughter took guitar from him for over a year and progressed quickly both in skill and confidence. Alex was positive, patient, and a great communicator. He really helped her grow."

"The atmosphere is casual, personable, and relaxed, but the instructors are real professionals. My ukulele lessons with Kimo have been illuminating — he's patient, adaptable, and brings both professionalism and humanity to his teaching."

"I had lessons for several months with Ari and he proved to be not only an outstanding teacher but a gentleman and a scholar. They're flexible with schedules and can accommodate if a weekly lesson isn't possible."

"Ari Joshua does a great job teaching this adult student music theory and clever jazz guitar voicings. His calm demeanor makes the learning experience non-threatening and enjoyable. He's inspiring to watch perform live — he does both performing and teaching exceptionally well."

"Ari at The Music Factory was a great match for me. He really helped me understand the guitar fretboard and music theory like never before. The other students I met there were equally pleased with their instructors. I'll highly rate The Music Factory — and Ari for jazz guitar — a solid five stars."

"My son has been taking guitar lessons from Ari for four years and he loves it. Ari moves kids at their own pace and with just the right amount of pressure — not too much, not too little. He continues to inspire my son and keep him excited about guitar even through high school."

"Ari and Scott do a solid job. My 11-year-old son likes coming to hang out and play. I make this a priority for him."

"My kids had great lessons with Scott. Other employees were helpful as well — a friendly, quirky place with a real love for music and teaching evident. A very approachable place for anyone nervous about improving their musical skills."
