    This store is an institution, as is its owner. Why give your money to an online corporate behemoth when you can support a local business and work with someone like Erik who will learn your name and get you exactly what you need at the best price? A must-shop.

    Fixed a broken but on a guitar that other places estimated would cost 3-5x what they were able to fix it for. Friendly and obviously know what they're doing with instruments.

  • My daughter broke the string on her violin almost as soon as we got it shame really have a chance of any way we came here and not only was he willing to help but he wanted to make sure we learned how. Right off the bat you can tell that he works with kids and I definitely will be considering lessons. Kid friendly and highly recommended.

    Went down to pick out a guitar starter kit for my son and to get my own electric fixed. Eric was great to work with, friendly, and good prices. Look forward to going back!

    My three sons all take music lessons at South Hills Music. They are fantastic there! Very easy to work with. My boys all have different teachers and I can't say enough good things about all of them. Highly recommend!

    Erik is a great musician / teacher and just an all-around great guy. He knows how to get kids really excited about learning how to play guitar. His prices are great and they have free parking. You just can't go wrong with South Hills Music.

    Erik is hands down the best guitar teacher you could ask for. He can play and teach anything, and is just plain fun to hang out with. His lessons could help the most timid novice turn into a rock star.
