Crescendo Music

Crescendo music is a fantastic music store! Jason and the kind folk that work there helped me get my dream guitar. And will forever be thankful.

Being rather new to Connecticut, I wanted to find a reliable guitar technician for my acoustic and electric guitars. I have been to many technicians that have talked about their rich experience, but they would not be able to deliver with quality at all. I would have to make trips to go back to those people all the time to redo repairs or setups. At Crescendo, I've met with Jason and he's been able to work on my guitars flawlessly and communicate any issues about anything. Also, as someone said before, there are text alerts when your instrument is ready to be picked up. I really recommend this place for people! Ask for Jason, he's an awesome guy!

I've brought several guitars here for setups and repairs and have had nothing but great experiences. Love the text alerts when my stuff is ready for pickup, and the service is always top-notch and quick too. This will remain my go-to spot for all guitar and music equipment needs!

This place has such a friendly staff!! Super helpful and reliable. I went in with old strings on my acoustic guitar and they swapped them for new strings and tuned my baby up all in less than 45 mins while they were fairly occupied with other customers. She now sounds incredible!!! Like brand new! I’m extremely grateful! I highly recommend them to all whom needs instruments repaired or lessons!! 10 out of 10 💯

I like everything about Crescendo! Chris is great with the scheduling and very accommodating. He also did a great job finding a good fit for my children. Dale and Irene are both wonderful teachers. Irene is patient and kind, she is great with my 7 year old son.

The only thing I would change/add... Is a waiting area. A place where students can sit and wait for their teacher to start lesson, or parent to pick them up. Right now it's hard to control students who love music from touching everything in the store, although we try.

I strongly recommend Crescendo to other families.

As a vocal and guitar instructor for several years at Cresendo Music I can say that Cresendo is truly amazing and inspiring to young and old alike wanting to learn how to play an instrument, or sing. All the instructors are high-level professionals who love to share their skills!
It’s also an easy and convenient stop for your musical instrument needs or repairs. Jason is a really great guy and an easy to work with guitar luthier plus! The whole staff is great!!
If you’ve been wanting to learn an instrument, including your vocal instrument, definitely connect with them!

I brought my beat up old ovation guitar here and I’m blown away at how nicely they fixed it up. They gave me a great price and this 20+ year old guitar is playing like it’s brand new. I highly recommend them for guitar setups and repairs!

I recently spent hours working with the staff at Crescendo Music after cleaning out my closets. They were extremely helpful in identifying instruments that needed and were worth repair, and gave me honest price estimates for each item's value. Thank you to the staff for going above and beyond to talk me through a seemingly overwhelming process!

I have been teaching piano for more than 15 years now and I can say that Crescendo Music is one of the best music schools I ever had the pleasure to teach in. From the director of the school, through the team behind the counter, to the teachers, for everyone the first priority is how to welcome and accommodate each student in the best possible way. My colleagues are all wonderful musicians and incredible performers who take their job very seriously and with a level of responsibility that is a rarity today. The school itself is organized in such a way that every student receives everything he or she could ever need - from the books that are instantly ordered by the personnel to the wonderful opportunity to perform at a well organized recital in a wonderful venue at the end of each semester.

One of the best shops in CT. Great service, knowledgeable staff, curated selection of pedals and gear, and excellent roster of teachers for lessons. Can't go wrong!

Our son has played guitar for several years but was wanting to quit - arguing any time we asked him to practice. Someone suggested Crescendo as they have a daughter who loves going there. We went and from the first lesson with Dale, our son was back in love with the guitar. He practices without being asked and is excited to show us new songs he's learned. Dale has a great way with tweens and gets their respect because he plays regularly in a band. Dale also works on music that our son loves - nothing "boring" about music in our house anymore. Highly recommend Crescendo.

It's great to have a local music store like Crescendo. I had a great experience the last time I was there. Highly Recommended!
