Customer Testimonials 10/07 Britt & Ron,
the Roland KR107 piano is nothing short of awesome! The whole family is very
pleased with it. It was a long busy
weekend for us so we didn't have as much time to spend on it as we would have
liked. However, we have played it quite a bit. Our 12 year old son Matthew has already
learned to record songs using the overlay and editing stuff and is having fun
with it. It is a considerable
distraction to his lessons for now due to all of it's
neat features but no harm done as I anticipate the pay back will be quite
high. We are looking forward to taking
you up on your offer for a training tutorial.
Thanks for all your willingness to take an interest in us and our
success. You guys have been great! -Joel S., Round Rock, TX 10/07 We love our new
Roland KR103 piano. I have to say it’s
a tremendous full-bodied sound and we are constantly discovering new features
and sounds! Garland C., Band Director,
07/05 I wanted to let
you know how pleased we’ve been with our piano. I would highly recommend the same type of
Roland piano with Music Tutor for any piano student and here’s
why: We started our on Nathan started
on a small Yamaha keyboard to see if he would actually enjoy playing the
piano before investing in a piano.
This was NOT a good idea. Our
son enjoyed playing the piano but got frustrated because of the limitations
of the keyboard thereby causing his enjoyment of playing the piano to
fade. We’d heard about 10/04
For Christmas in 1999, we came
into Capital Music to buy a metronome and came out with a brand new Roland
KR1070 Digital Grand Piano!!! We have 2 sons that loved music and we had
considered piano lessons, but could not get them excited about piano
lessons...until we walked into your store! Ron gave us a
great presentation and showed us all of the great features that make it
fun for young kids to learn to play. Our younger son, Adam, who was 8
years old at the time, started taking piano lessons from Todd at your
store. He fell in love with the piano and really liked to
practice. We just loved going to watch him and all of the other
talented children at the recitals you held. These lessons were nothing
like the ones I remember as a kid, hating to go to! So boring! My other
son, Christopher, was into guitar, never took piano lessons. But has
enjoyed playing on the piano so much that he has been self-teaching
himself. Both boys are in band now.
Adam plays trombone and Christopher plays clarinet and they love to practice
and are the best in their bands. They still use the piano all the time
to help them compose music, work out hard sections in their band music, and
accompany each other.... and of course, they use the metronome feature a
lot!! My husband and I really believe
that one of the main reasons (beside their natural talent!) that they are so
good in band and enjoy music so much is their early experience with their piano!
Adam has really enjoyed his lessons and loves to play around and compose on
the piano. Thanks so much for opening
our eyes to how wonderful and how much fun having a piano in the family can
be! –Terry & David M., 05/04
Dear Britt
and Capital Music team: Thanks a
million for your help choosing a digital piano. We were surprised by the poor service we
received at other music stores around town.
Maybe it wouldn’t matter to pros who can evaluate products on
their own, but we rookies needed the kind of attention and education that you
gave us during the shopping process. From the day we set up our Roland KF-7,
we knew it was the right decision to go with a digital piano, especially one
with built-in tutorial functions and 08/03 I am an adult piano student at St Francis After School Piano Program, guest writer for the Austin American Statesman, and teacher of classics at the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Texas, Austin. My son James and I both play. We started taking after school group lessons at St. Francis in 2002, he with 2nd graders, I with 5th-6th-graders, in an empty slot which Ms. Valentic did not mind an adult filling. I chose a Roland digital piano because those were the kind used in our instruction. We rented it for 4 months, and liked it so much we purchased it. The ability to play with music, alter tempos, select instrumentation and so on is really great. Because of your sponsorship of this great program we were able to try piano out, see whether we would stick with it, figure out whether it would be good in some place in our house and so on. My favorite part by far is the music tutor. I practice most of the pieces solo first, and then when I turn on the tutor and get to hear what the orchestration is and the real tempo, I can adjust to it and fit in and get the 'reward' of playing along. James likes playing with the musical accompaniment from the start." –Tom Palaima (Article for the Statesman). 07/02 I wish to express my sincere
appreciation to you and your find staff.
The Roland, which I purchased last year, has
more then met our expectations. It is an excellent piece of equipment. Both my wife and I are very satisfied with
it. You did a good job convincing me
that it was what we needed. Equally as
important have been the efforts of Ms. Anne Misner
in helping me learn how to use the piano properly. I spent a large portion of my adult life in
the teaching profession at the post-secondary level and my opinion of Ms. Misner is that she is an excellent teacher. Not only is she most knowledgeable but she
has the knack of making a student feel as if she really cares about
one’s progress. In addition, she has a warm and pleasant disposition,
which definitely enhances the learning effort. You have a fine organization of which you
should be quiet proud. Your group has
added materially to our quality of life. –Cole Murphy, PhD, 03/02 You are all so helpful and
that was noticeable the first time I walked into your store. My husband was with me the day I purchased
my piano and he was all for buying the piano (although he doesn’t know
a thing about them) simply because o f the way we were treated by the staff
at Capital Music! I will certainly
refer any inquiries about purchasing pianos to you because of your care and
concern for your customers!!! Keep up the great work. --Collette Surman,
Independent Piano Teacher, 2/02 Oh my gosh! I have never had so
much fun! My students are having a ball with their MT80s. It has
changed my problem students into happy successful students, which makes for a
happier teacher/student day. I will have an ensemble playing at
convention, so I have recorded the duets for them to learn it faster.
They are all so excited. Thanks
for having that workshop! It was the
shot I really needed to perk my ordinary teaching week into an exhilarating
time. --Judith LaFontaine, Independent Piano
Teacher, 01/02 12/01 Dear Ron & Britt: I
want to thank Britt for assisting us with our piano purchase. Britt is very knowledgeable about the
entire line of Roland products and allowed us the time necessary to make the
best decision for our family. We
purchased the Roland Music Tutor Piano and are very happy with our
decision! This piano will bless our home
and our children’s lives for years to come! Chad & Juli E. (original
letter) 12/01 Dear Natalie: The Kinderfriends Piano class has been a wonderful experience
for my two boys and me. Mrs. Crawford
makes learning to play the piano FUN, while at the same time teaching them
the fundamentals of music. I
couldn’t believe it when my boys got home after the first class and
started practicing their new pieces.
What a contrast to the scales and repetition I remember from my first
piano class as a child! --Angela C. (original letter) 09/01 09/00 Dear Ron, Britt, & Todd:
I want to give my most sincere and heartfelt thanks to you all for
your help and generosity. It has been
a wonderful blessing to have the Roland KR375 and four student pianos in my
piano studio! My students and their
parents have been thrilled with the quality and sound of the Roland
instruments. I cannot adequately
express the gratitude and appreciation for your technical assistance, training,
encouragement, help in getting my digital piano studio set up, and for
believing in my ability to use and promote the use of the Roland Music Tutor
in my studio. --Sylvia S., Independent
Piano Teacher, 12/98 I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Ron Edelman,
owner of Capital Music Center in Austin, Texas, and 12/96 Dear Ron & Britt: I just wanted to thank you for your
wonderful support after my second major purchase from your store. The assistance (both technical and
professional) you offer has been a great service. I am a very satisfied customer once
again! As a piano teacher, I can see
the amazing difference in all of my students since I have been teaching with
the Music Tutor system. The students
have more fun in their lessons, their rhythm coordination has improved, and
they learn their music quicker. I have
been enjoying my Roland KR immensely.
Thank you so much for being Capital Music!!! --Buffy Currens.,
Independent Piano Teacher, 12/96 Dear
Ron: This letter is a small token of
great appreciation. For almost eight
years you and your professional staff have graciously assisted me with my
musical needs. Being in my 29th year
of piano teaching with seventy private, students, my needs are many and
varied. It has been necessary to rely on your expertise many, many times. Matters dealing with technology, equipment
and teaching aids have been very effectively.
Your staff has been extremely courteous and helpful. Service and
repairs have been prompt and thorough.
Your willingness to assist me during recital seasons has been
extraordinary. Also, many teachers have benefited from the workshops
presented at your store. You have enabled us to enrich our students’
musical lives and make a profound difference.
Results of using my three digital pianos and three sequencers are
obvious. Musicality and creativity are
greatly enhanced. In my studio,
practice on the Roland instruments is referred to as
"playing". Enjoyment and
enthusiasm are at high levels. Sixty
children and ten adults weekly enjoy the instruments and software purchased
at 5/96 Dear Ron: I can't
believe it has been six months since I purchased my Roland Atelier organ. It
is difficult for me to try to tell you how much I have enjoyed experiencing
all the beautiful sounds it can produce even with my limited talent. I am so grateful for your teacher’s
gracious and charming way of teaching me to play chords and so many other
instructions that are enabling me to enjoy this magnificent instrument far
more than I ever imagined. When I
first heard you play this organ at your studio I thought, "Oh sure, when
you're an talented as he is, any organ can sound
great." But I can truly say that
now, even I can produce some beautiful music --- at times. Ha!
When you first told me the price for the organ, I swallowed quickly
and tried to keep my composure without revealing “sticker
shock". Never in my wildest
dreams did I think I would ever own one - let alone have the nerve to tell my
husband what I was looking at and longing for. But the Lord was gracious to open our
hearts and provided a way to purchase one.
I can honestly say that neither my husband nor I have regretted our
investment. Ron, I just wanted to
thank you for all your many kindnesses in regards to this purchase. I am so
glad you didn't put any pressure on me while I was considering all the
various aspects of this luxurious item and you have stood behind your word in
your service, even to the point of coming all the way out to my house and
checking out a sound that I was concerned about, only to find out it was no
problem at all. It has been a pleasure
dealing with you and I would never hesitate referring anyone to you who would
be interested in purchasing a quality organ.
I pray the Lord will continue to bless you, your family and your
business. –Marla D., 1/95 Dear
Sirs: We would like to express our
gratitude to the entire staff at Capital Music. We recently purchased a
