I love this place. Vincent at the front desk is always upbeat and friendly. My piano instructor, Primo, is a true professional. Although I've just started my piano journey with them, I'm already inspired and highly impressed with their service. What really impressed me was how they handled the unexpected passing of my dog Bubba. It was a stressful time and I am so happy that I didn't have to stress any further about cancelling my lesson and losing money down the drain. I will always recommend this place with 5 stars to anyone who asks.

I had a dented mouthpiece in my tuba, drove in and dropped it off in the morning. By the close of buisness they called me to let me know it was ready. I don't envision any future problems. However, I will certainly make this the first place I'll take it next time. It was well worth the 10 mile drive From Newport Beach, where I had called two other closer places.

Be careful with their business. Good on surface when you do not have a problem. Once you have a issue/dispute, they will show their true skin. I have a rental instrument, I have not picked up the order yet. I would like to cancel rental service and get the refund. They deny the refund by all means even the order has not been picked up. The 9 month rental money was up-held and NO-refundable regardless.
The contract is ambiguous. Under "Termination" section, it states I can terminate the rental agreement without penalty. BUT the contract did not tell me the fact that the store gives me NO refund at all even couple days later I want to cancel the rental service and want to get my money back. Remarkably, I have not picked up the rental instrument or used it neither.
Once rental contract is signed, they take my money deposited and offers no cancellation/refund at all. I am going to appeal to Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) - State of California regarding to unfair contract to customers.

Fantastic shop. After asking about an instrument, Joseph contacted me and went above and beyond to help me out. Not only did he help me towards the end of the day on Friday but also had it ready to ship for Saturday delivery. Best customer service I've ever experienced. AAAA +++++ You can absolutely buy with confidence. Thank you very much. Bo WildCat Guitars

This is by far my favorite music store in the area. The employees are always very nice and helpful. I have been buying instruments and accessories from them for many years and I have always had great service. I recently purchased a Teenage Engineering OP-1 from them and they were very helpful in helping me decide. They have also given me support since the purchase, which I greatly appreciate.
They have a great selection of guitars a well as Band and Orchestral instruments and offer lessons and repairs as well. Irvine Art and Music is my go to music store and I would defiantly recommend it!

I was very happy to have found this store! I had wanted a particular guitar and was finding it hard to order from anyone in the nation. Not only did Joseph put in my order with no problems, I got it at a very good price and was thrilled at the outcome. The Guitar, a Blue Moon Neptune, by Faith Guitars, had to come a long way to finally make it into my hands.
It is exquisitely crafted for amazing sound and stunning to look at. Joseph never failed to get back to me every time I called. I am so impressed by this store that I will likely make guitar and music purchases from them in the future.

I honestly love this place. I found this hidden gem five years ago and have been going here ever since. I highly recommend anyone in the Orange County area to visit this music store if they are in need of music lessons and instruments. They have the best quality instruments for the best prices I've seen in any music store I have visited in Orange County.
They are also the only music store in Irvine which is really nice because they carry large brand name instruments, such as Yamaha, Jupiter, Casio, Gibson, Gretsch, Ibanez, Fender, and Roland to name a few. They also have a large array of teachers available if you want to learn the drums, guitar, piano, violin, flute, saxophone, and etc. They even have vocal lessons and have lessons for people that want to learn East Asian instruments such Pipa. All in all my experience here has been great and the friendly staff is really geared towards helping me and my kids learn music at the best affordable price!
