My children have been taking music lessons with the talented teachers at Full Scale for several years. These teachers have instilled a love of music with patience and understanding of the way each child learns. I have watched my children grow in knowledge, responsibility, self-confidence, and maturity. We will continue to support this school!

They are kind and patient with young children. I recommend.
I would not take my child anywhere else! Jr Rock Camp is an absolute blast, and all the teachers/counselors are great with the kids. My son looks forward to his keyboard lessons every week and he has taken great strides through his first year thanks to his wonderful teacher, Cameron. They have such a great bond together, and that means the world to me. We live about 40 minutes away, and I refuse to send him anywhere closer. This is his musical home! Worth every penny!
The best Music Instructors. Special needs children are also taught music at the Academy. Carla and Keith are absolutely amazing. It is a certified music academy. They have a toddler music class as well. The range of instruments they teach span from the Harp to the piano .. absolutely incredible.
Mason Music

The Shaver family loves Mason music! The instructors are knowledgeable, talented and very encouraging. If you are considering music lessons for your child, this is the place for you.
Phenomenal experience learning piano from William. It can be intimidating trying to completely learn a new instrument as an adult, but they did a great job helping my wife and I feel comfortable, learn, and have a blast at the same time!
Once upon a Wednesday dreary
Choked with air so bleak and bleary
Worse- bereft of music, and the silence I did thus deplore!
Hence, for sick tunes I was searching, when into my view came lurching, this grand place of music learning;
“Egg maracas” I told Kyle “I require sixty-four.”
I sure loved this music store.

My instructor Colin does a great job and keeps me on track and makes my lessons interesting!!
Great program with great staff
My kids have taken piano lessons at Mason Music for several years and we have been very happy! All of their teachers are outstanding, and the kids have learned a lot. We also love the recital opportunities they offer, as well as the opportunity to support their Mason Music Foundation.

Mason Music is the best.My son has taken here for over ten years. We love MM. AMAZING!
Special ordered a guitar through these guys. Took longer than it normally would due to the pandemic, but they were professional and communicative throughout the whole process. Will definitely be shopping with Mason again.
Mason Music is awesome! My son goes there to study piano with Justin Hendrix. Justin has a warm and easy-going style, yet is very thorough and shows you how to turn theory into true music. He teaches both how to read music and how to play by ear. My son loves him, and quite frankly I’ve learned a lot from him too! All the staff I’ve interacted with have been very friendly, and the building itself is also attractive, colorful, and inspires creativity.

Beautiful, tranquil surroundings make for a great youth retreat!!
Friendly, helpful staff. Aim for your coming back and enjoying your current stay. Nice gift shop with coffee bar. We were in the Shirey Lodge
As far as church conference centers go Shocco Springs Baptist Conference Center was pretty good. The facilities are in good condition. Dining was average for this type of facility. Grounds were well kept. Over all it was a good experience.
Was a pretty nice place. Only used it as a hotel. Beds were comfy. Only bad thing I have is small bathrooms and the place kinda looks like camp crystal lake from halloween. Would definitely stay here again.
I love this place.
Shocco Springs is an amazing camp center. I had the ability to go when our youth camp decided to come for summer camp. The camp is run through Student Life Camps and has an amazing group of staff and individuals that help the camp run. The guys in our group including me stayed in Mount Moriah, which is one of the many lodging buildings available to stay in. The rooms were clean and fresh bedding was provided, although we brought our own. I opted to use the provided bedding. The rooms had two bunk beds for a maximum capacity of 4 people. The lower level of Mount Moriah (we stayed in the top level–a two story building) has a nice little lobby area with some chairs and a couch. Some guys in our group thought it would be funny to take the couch upstairs and place it in front of our leader’s room. We returned the couch afterwards.
The rest of the camp was very beautiful and well kept. There were some lawn care professionals maintaining the grounds while we stayed.
The recreation area, known as the “Adventure Camp” was very nice. The pool was large enough for our group to comfortably play in, as well as others. A diving board added to the fun. The Tennis courts and Basketball courts were very nice and well kept, but you will need to bring your own tennis supplies, as they are not provided. There was a small “lake” on camp grounds, with paddle boarding, and some water inflatables. We did not decide to go on these as they cost an extortionate amount of $8 for 30 mins of play. Not worth it.
It would we worth nothing that everything is fairly spread apart and there are some very intense hills throughout, which took a toll on our legs and knees. Golf Cart rentals were available for $35/day, but we had too many in our group that it would cost too much, so we didn’t do it.
The food service was very nice, the food tasted adequate and there was always a variety to choose from. It is a self serve food line, so you are free to eat what you choose. A nice addition is the unlimited complimentary Soft Serve Ice Cream available at each and every meal.
Overall I have to say Shocco Springs is one of my favourite camps that I’ve been to. Sure it’s a little hot here in Alabama, but that’s fine. Just bring some water, and going swimming can help tremendously.

I would give this center no stars if that option was available. They overbooked rooms and would not assist churches that had paid for a certain number of rooms. The rooms were full of black mold and every item I brought stayed wet all week including my blankets. Our boys rooms were also full of spiders and bed bugs.
As if the rooms were not enough the food was horrendous. Staff members were not extremely helpful or kind. I would not recommend this location to anyone.
University of Montevallo

How to review my incredible school in just a few words? Oh, I love it! I’m doing the business program all online after a 20 year hiatus from college. I have great interactions with teachers and students, and I visit the campus every chance I get because it’s so beautiful. I encourage anyone looking for a great school to look at Montevallo, because there’s more to schools
than just a football program.
It’s a very nice campus in a small town. Lots of history in the surrounding area. I’ve been there several times, especially during baseball season.
It has a beautiful campus with an inviting academic atmosphere. The professors are nice and the fellow students are friendly for the most part. There’s a large variety of people here; you’re certain to find a social group that you fit into.
Beautiful quiet campus. Enjoyed my visit.
Visit my friend here time to time nice quiet Campus.
Wonderful campus and great staff
Very disappointing
Unable to audit a French class because I had the wrong gender,color and age.
I did pay for the class but the instructor made it impossible to stay in the class.
Unnecessary charges to students accounts and fails to tell why
I really wanted to like Montevallo, really I did, but it’s safe to say that I pretty horrible experience. In early 2020, me and mother shadowed the school and we both really liked it! At the time the school seemed lively, fun and everyone looked happy, but when the time came for me to go, it was an entirely different experience. I came in as an out-of-town transfer student that lived on campus and when I went, it was totally different experience. Everyone in the school seemed cold and unfriendly and with socially distancing and the mask mandate, it was nearly impossible to socialize. The campus seemed barren and desolate. My experience was a very lonely one and it effected me mentally. I had to end up dropping out because to it. I know there’s a pandemic going on, but you can’t just isolate kids and expect them to be okay with that.

My daughter loves her piano lessons here. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly.
This place is like no other music store I’ve ever seen. The staff, unlike 95% of other music stores, is friendly and doesn’t act like they’re above the customer. They have great lesson rooms and its a cool music venue. Great selection of products.
Good place
I never really bought anything but strings & they always treat as if I bought 10 Les Paul’s theregreat bunch of guys & ladies thanks Spicer’s!!…
Great assortment of instruments staff very helpful my wife enjoyed the visit she plays guitar more visits to come
Less than fair.
Great music store. Very helpful and friendly staff
Wish this was still true.. horrible experience recently when attempting to purchase a expensive acoustic guitar. 6/27/22 Went back to make a 2k+ purchase and was informed that I was given the wrong price by a salesman 2 days before. They tried to give other options but not enough to compensate for what was told to me. Very disappointed in a music store I’ve been loyal to for years.
Stoped in today to pick up some stuff.guy behind counter would not put his phone down to see if I needed any thing.
