This is a great store to rent instruments, buy music, browse, etc...
However, if you are wanting to learn an instrument I would say LOOK ELSEWHERE for lessons. I am 32 years old and have always wanted to play the cello. So, this past September I thought I'd give it a whirl and rent a cello and take lessons.
I paid for my first month of lessons and at the first lesson the teacher seemed pretty cool and we went over a few basic things and she told me what to practice. The second lesson was almost an exact repeat of the first lesson. Even down to the conversation as to what I do for a living and if I've played any instruments before. She then had to tune my cello before I began the 'playing' part of the lesson and scolded me that my cello was out of tune and that it had taken up 10 minutes of the 30 minute lesson. That annoyed me because:
1.) I HAVE NEVER PLAYED THE CELLO IN MY LIFE!!! If I've never played an instrument before how in the hell am I supposed to know how to tune it?!
2.) I am the one paying for the 30 minute lesson. If I wanted to sit and have a staring contest with her for 30 minutes instead of playing the cello that would be my call as I am the one that paid the money. Last time I checked part of learning an instrument is learning how to tune it. Maybe I'm missing something.
3.) If I am a teacher, hair dresser, anything really that deals with the public and you have clients or students. When you ask them questions about their life wouldn't you want to take notes if you can't remember their answers? I have a lady that does my eyelashes and I see her every 3 weeks and she remembers more about what is going on with me and what I do for a living than someone that I had just given information to 6 days prior.
Anyway, it was a BIG fat waste of my time/money. I have found an absolutely amazing teacher and she is great and takes her time with me and it just fantastic!! So, look into private lessons AWAY from FMC.
Rant. Over.
