I took lessons from Erik from 2004-2009. I can't wait to check out the new location in Bethel Park. Perfect place for everything that you could possibly need! Erik is a true professional and a great teacher. Took my stratocaster in for a set up and re string. Eric did a awesome job at a very reasonable price. My new go to. 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. Diamond in the rough 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. Nice guy. Printed out some tab for me. I will be back to look at some cool old tube amps. Great music store really nice we have bought alot of guitars there 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. Great place for kids to take lessons Erik is the best Great service and great music and lessons Great teachers 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. I love the store my girls take lessons there awesome Amazing place This is the best music lesson around. I'm a 58 yr old new guitar player. Eric really explains the lesson well. I recommend South hills music to everyone. He taught me to play Justin beaver now I have some friends I can touch Awesome place especially Eric, the owner! Great place to take lessons!! my kids love taking lessons at South Hills Music. excellent teacher and a very nice atmosphere. free wi fi which is cool and it seems to be the only music store in the area with a parking lot which is great! 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.
