Concert was wonderful !! Erie Martinez is the BEST in the business. He amazes us with his talent; only wish he would have played banjo. Looking forward to his next event.

I want to thank Swallow Hill for introducing me to Nanci Griffith, a bright star in the sky. She warmed my heart.

We attended a concert at the Tuft Theater here. Cool space, friendly people, and seems to be run well. There are drinks and snacks available for purchase too.

My husband & I loved attending concerts at Swallow Hill. I even took several acoustic guitar lessons. I really hope they can re-open again one day soon.

Solid local spot to take music lessons. I took beginner violin private lessons. I had a great experience. Never been for a concert but heard those are great too.

I decided that I wanted to learn how to play a harmonica. I’m enjoying it and Bret is a great teacher! I pick around on guitar a bit but don’t know if I’m necessarily a 1-A like harmonica. That’s when I talked to the ladies at the front desk and they told me y’all actually have and schedule placement tests so you can skip ahead if possible. I’m stoked! I’ve never taken any music lessons in my life and now I’m doing harmonica and getting ready to get back into guitar. I’m gonna schedule the guitar test as soon as I can. I’m glad I discovered you guys.

If you havent been to a Swallow Hill concert, you arent a serious Denver folk/bluegrass aficionado. This is a great organization that is much more than a concert venue--it is also a music school with great teachers at all levels. A great way to resume your guitar or ukulele habit.For the past few years they have also been running the concert series at the marvelous Denver Botanic Gardens, so you might even have been to a Swallow Hill concert without knowing it.

Ive played the fiddle for almost 14 years now (since I was 7) and Swallow Hill has been a huge part of my foundation. Ive had 2 incredible teachers throughout my time with Swallow Hill and between private lessons, and having member access to amazing performances, my love of bluegrass only continues to grow. Thanks Swallow Hill!

Great concerts, good music school.Group classes do get canceled if less than 3 students sign up, and anyone who did sign up is notified of the cancellation. The fact that classes get canceled due to lack of interest does not warrant the one poor review.

Teacher made my wife cry during beginner 1 guitar classes. He yelled at her and said “stop playing scared”! This was more than a few years ago and it still haunts my wife.

I signed up for a family membership in September 2013 for a Cello class that was supposed to start in October. The class ended up being cancelled for lack of participants but I was NEVER notified. Not until I actually changed my schedule at work, rented the instrument and showed up for my first class was I informed that there was NO class. I then inquired about private instruction through the school as I was determined. I was then instructed to research the email of the instructor who would have held the class that was canceled but she was booked so possibly another instructor or a credit twords another class? Translation: I was told I needed to pretty much hunt down my own private teacher which might not even be available for a lesson.It was a very very frustrating experience I truly feel could have been accommodated with an alternative. Which respectfully should have been someone from the school personally telling me the class had been cancled and then helping me to organize a private lesson! Especially for something that was supposed to not only be fun and healthy but an experience Im missing out on!Hoping another class would come available, I sat on a credit for the Cello class hoping for another but by January, after leaving several messages. I still had no response from anyone regarding a Cello lesson.I then called again this time leaving a message requesting information regarding student classes thinking Id have better luck.Then again I called to inquire about the summer music program at the new Lowry location for my 8 year old daughter. Still nothing, No information or return phone calls from either location!I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY I PAID FOR A FAMILY MEMBERSHIP TO A SCHOOL THAT CAN NOT ACCOMIDATE THE CLASSES THEY POST ON A SCHEDULE THEY SEND OUT TO THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY! I ALSO DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY BOTH LOCATIONS HAVE DROPPED THE BALL WHEN IT COMES TO PERSONALLY COMMUNICATING TO THIS MEMBER WHAT IS AND IS NOT AVAILABLE! And respectfully, assisting me with finding an alternative when they can not accommodate something I PAID FOR should not be a frustrating nightmare!I finally had to request a refund. They had no problem getting back to me with regards to that!Pretty disappointed with my experience and the lack of follow up and communication Swallow Hill! It wasnt worth my small amount of free time, the stress or the $$$. I wouldnt recommend starting or renewing a membership to a place I cant even attend a scheduled paid class in, nor get the respect of a little help finding an alternative class which should have been private instruction through the school!Even with the free concerts. As much as I enjoy listening to music and instructions, the point was to help my family LEARN!We have walked away from this experience with NO classes no communication and a membership that isnt worth any value or up to standing for its purpose!
