Cadenza Music

What can I say, Cadenza Music Rocks!!! The staff is friendly and very helpful, the store is always clean and welcoming, and they always have what I need whenever I stop by! I'm a very happy camper!!

I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional experience my daughter and I have had at Cadenza Music, where we rent her viola. From the moment we stepped through the doors, it was evident that the owners and staff deeply care about the students they serve and are genuinely passionate about their mission to nurture a love of music in children. The staff are always warm, knowledgeable, and supportive.

Purchasing a high-quality viola outright can be a significant financial investment, especially for parents who may be unsure of their child's long-term commitment to playing the instrument. Cadenza Music's rental service offered us an affordable alternative that allows our daughter to explore her interest in the viola without breaking the bank.

The quality of the viola we rent for our daughter is superb. It is evident that Cadenza Music takes great pride in the instruments they offer. Additionally, one of the benefits of renting from Cadenza Music is the inclusion of comprehensive insurance. The insurance is inexpensive and as a parent, there's always a lingering concern about the potential for accidents or damage to the instrument. Despite also having a toddler in the house, our stress is completely alleviated by the insurance policy. Knowing that we are covered in the event of an unintended mishap provides invaluable peace of mind.

Very quick, friendly, and knowledgeable staff! Will definitely come here again for any future string instrument needs.

They carry all the most popular method books and have some of the newer pop. They have the most essential accessories for band and orchestra students. Clean and kid-friendly.

I took my son--who didn't believe he could benefit from lessons--to Cadenza for guitar lessons. He learned a LOT, and he had a great time doing it, too. This wonderful little store has been part of my life since it opened, and I'm so pleased I could share it with the next generation!

I had a truly amazing experiance this past Thursday. I walked in and joined their ukulele group for the last 30 min of their session. The group was very welcoming and a lot of fun. The employees are cordial and able to help answer folks questions.

I have been going to Cadenza for twenty years now for all sorts of things. Scott was the first repair person I met when I came to town, and I have sent many St. Thomas students to him and others in the repair shop. I enjoy browsing through music and supplies while chatting with folks upstairs. Cadenza is an integral part of this community

The only place in town that had the trombone case I was looking for. Nailed it. Great to deal with.

do you guys still do electric guitar lessons? I really wanna learn.

I've worked as a private and public teacher in the area, and I've felt like this is a great community hub for music exploration and learning. A great store, friendly staff to returning and new customers, and always incredibly willing to help and assist in what you're looking for. Shop local at this great St. Paul music destination.

Good Staff who were making a good effort to get people instruments fixed. They got my daughter's instrument back to me the same day. It was a minor, but I appreciate the effort.

I'm with the Buddy Holly Story national tour that stopped in St. Paul. I brought in my sax at 11am needing same day, emergency repair for a show later that night. The staff was wonderful and Jean replaced 4 pads and recorked the neck on my sax for a more than reasonable price. This place is professional, quick, and courteous. Highly recommend!

Cadenza repair is awesome for annual cleaning and fixing stuck valves and slides. They rent instruments too.

This store is a gem!!! As a piano teacher, it's nice to have such a reliably well stocked store available when I'm picking up materials on my way to work. The staff are super friendly and helpful, too.

Their instrument repair folks are first rate. They advise me when a repair would not be worth it. They do excellent work on my euphonium. It comes in on time and on budget!!

Really nice people to work with. I just got an Alvarez AP-66 guitar from them and the instrument is beautiful, was set up just right. Wonderful place!

These folks are the best! Their prices are right in line with the Web, their instructors are brilliant, yet patient with those of us who are not, and their repair department shines! Super nice people, every one of them.

lovvveeee this place. only been in a couple times, but the folks here are always so nice, and the variety of inventory is siiiiick!

A surprisingly well stocked local music store. Highly recommended! Stop here before leaving the neighborhood.

Seriously, the staff are so kind and helpful!!!! You can tell they love their job and music!!
