William O. says, "You know ever since I started learning music with Reed’s music my life has literally changed, and I owe it all to a significant person - my music teacher. With Reeds’s music. I've had the fortunate chance to cross paths with a musician who isn't just incredibly talented but is the best teacher one could ever have. His passion resonates not just in the beautiful melody he creates but in the way he imparts his knowledge to us, his students. Mr. Reed didn't just teach me how to strum a guitar or hit the right notes on various instruments, he nurtured the spark within me, my inherent desire to play music. His strong belief in me has empowered me to believe in myself and my potential. He recognized the raw passion and enthusiasm I had but didn't know how to direct, and he guided it, shaped it, refined it into something productive and beautiful. In addition with every strum, every note, and every beat, he helped me understand the profound joy that playing music brings. The happiness you feel when a tune finally snaps into place, the peace that fills you when a melody truly resonates with your soul, it’s a kind of joy that’s indeed unparalleled. Today, I am not just as someone who can play a tune or two, but someone who understands the joy, the thrill, the calmness, and the exuberance of creating a symphony. From beats and bars to rhythm and melody, I've learned to appreciate every aspect of music, to see it not just as a hobby but a form of self-expression, a way to connect with people, and above all, a pathway to inner peace. Reed’s music has taught me is not just about playing the right notes- it's about feeling every beat and experiencing the joy it brings to your soul. P.S. If you have ever thought about picking up an instrument, don’t hesitate. Dive in. I’m urge to give Reed’s music a try. You will discover something about yourself in the journey and make the world a bit more magical with your music."See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How much is a DJ?

When you hire a local DJ, expect to pay roughly between $300 and $800. But be aware that the actual price will vary based on several factors, including the length of the DJ’s set and how much of a presence they need to be. Larger venues can drive up the cost, as this requires more equipment, soundchecking and setup. Adding extras like confetti, fog, light shows and black lights also adds to the cost.
