This is my go to instrument repair shop. The staff are always helpful and my instrument gets repaired in a timely manor and at a reasonable price. I recommend this place to any of my friends who need instrument repairs.

Genie was very pleasant, understood what I needed and even gave us advice where we could fix our other instruments.- my sax was in need of repair this place seems to be able to take care of most woodwinds.

Ben is a great teacher for both clarinet and saxophone. And he does all sorts of repairs. Everyone I have spoken with at Carere has been very knowledgeable and friendly. They offer virtual and in-person lessons, instrument rentals and sales (and will sell your instrument on consignment), and a small selection of accessories. I can't speak to their prices as I haven't done any comparisons, but this is a small business that I gladly support.

Carere Music has a very comfortable, welcoming vibe! I could tell right away that these people are genuine and honest. ******, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable, obviously loves what she is doing, and is continuing the tradition of excellent service started by her family decades ago. As a second generation music store owner myself, one of the things I like to do when I'm traveling is look up small, local music stores and pay them a visit so I can see how they operate. In my short time hanging out at Carere Music, I witnessed ****** demonstrate her great knowledge of the music business and deal with all sorts of situations with the utmost professionalism: selling and renting good quality musical instruments to eager students, young and old; taking in musical instruments for repairs; helping people find new owners for their musical instruments by selling them on consignment; teaching flute students of all ages, improving their playing on a daily basis. ****** obviously has a passion for teaching! After hearing ******** incredible flute sound and impeccable sense of pitch on the piccolo it's no wonder she's first call for all sorts of high level concerts all over the Southeast. My mother played the flute/piccolo chair in the North Carolina Symphony, so I know a world class player when I hear one. Every flute and piccolo player in the Atlanta area should be taking lessons with ******! ******, her staff, teachers, and repair people are all professional musicians with a great love for music and are deeply engrossed in the local music scene. The repairman really knows his stuff and works so efficiently he has the fastest turnaround time in the area! Everyone was super friendly and giving of their time. One if the sax teachers took his horn out and played a few tunes with me. He was able to tell me where all the jazz jam sessions take place and give insights on what goes on at each one. I will definitely be back to Carere Music any time I'm visiting the Atlanta area!

Carere Music is THE GO TO Music Store in Atlanta! Jeanne and her father Tony are amazing people! This business is made up of true salt of the earth individuals who care about their students and customers! They do all of their instrument repairs in house, unlike other stores, who's name rhymes with cubic and charts, that send your instruments out of state. Carere Music takes care of its patrons. They do it for their love of music. One day when Covid is over, the arts will reopen. Until then, help small business owners, especially the ones who care so deeply about everyone.

The owner is very kind and helpful. She helped me to choose right oboe for my daughter and referred tutoring.

Jeannie Carere has been most helpful in finding all the relevant resources that I requested. She cheerfully ordered and tracked everything. She is very professional and engaging to every customer that visits her business. I have no reason to go anywhere else for my music needs.

Run by a family I have known since 1984! Fantastic musicians and teachers. During the current crisis, they are offering virtual lessons online with many talented musicians. Support your local musicians and small business owners!

Brought my guitar in to see if they could tell me the issue with why it was not working with my amp. They stated their guitar tech would take a llok at it and get back with me in a few days. After 3 weeks i finally had to call them a second time (first time after 1 week he had not looked at it) and they stated he mostly just restrings guitars and does regular maintenance. It sure would have been nice to know this MUCH sooner so i would not have wasted 3 weeks!

I have unfortunately rented an instrument from This music store and they NEVER open on time. The door and website say they open at 9 am and they just don’t show up. If your time is valuable, rent from another store. This is completely unacceptable.

I unfortunately rented an instrument from Carere music. Twice! They do not open the store on time. 11:00 during the week and the employee showed up at 11:20. Today, the door and website says they open at 9:00-Saturday. I came to return my flute and no one has shown up. I have been waiting over 30 minutes. If your time is valuable, don’t rent or buy anything from here! Completely unacceptable’
