Customer reflections
“Great people bringing fun into learning music, any age, never too young or old to play an instrument.”
Richard Gagne
“Miss Ruth and Mr. Jim are very inspirational to all students and provide a nurturing atmosphere for students to grow while giving opportunities to perform what has been learned.”
Candice Pion
“Song-a-Day is fabulous. They treated my $150 guitar like a $1,500 one when it needed a repair that no one else would do. Ruth and Jim are the nicest people and beyond dedicated to what they do; going there is always a pleasure.”
