Philosophy
Musical talent: At Manatee Music, we believe that 90% of people have the same amount of natural musical talent. What will make the difference in a person's musical skill level is time on the instrument. People who implement and follow a consistent practice routine will succeed! If you are willing to practice, we at Manatee Music will do everything possible to assist you in achieving excellence.
Built on customer service: Manatee Music operates under the belief that our customers' needs are of the utmost importance. Our entire team is committed to meeting those needs. As a result, a high percentage of our business is from repeat customers and referrals. We welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver you the best service in the industry. Call 941.741.8832 to set up a lesson time. Am I a musician?: Practice your instrument. If you pleasantly lose track of time while practicing, you may have found a new love. If you find that you don't enjoy practicing, music may not be "your thing."
