Minton's Music is a great place! My daughter has been taking lessons at Minton's for the last 4 years, we are VERY happy with all they do for her. They have a beautiful school with alot to offer, there is always something going on at Minton's.

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?
