Hello Everyone, Yes I would like to share my experience. I have two children who take lessons at Mintons and they love it. The staff is always friendly and helpful. In my recent dealings with Mintons I have found the owners to be very honest.
Sorry to hear that! I took drum lessons from Larry in a group setting a couple years back, which was an evening class set up through the county. I had a great time and learned a lot. Anyone had an experience with Minton's they'd like to share?


If you want your child to learn how to play music this is the place. They learn and have fun. Beautiful school with large class rooms. Teachers and staff are great!
