We strive to develop genuine relationships that make a positive impact in the lives of our team members, customers and ultimately, our community. We do this by creating a family-like atmosphere where, in the words of our founder, "customers become friends”.
Freedom to Grow
Our success as a company is dependent on the collective strength and creativity of our team. We are committed to continuous learning and improvement. We are unafraid to make mistakes because success, many times, is learned through failure.

Advocate for Music Education
We believe in the power of music and are relentless in our fight to promote, protect and support music education. We want more to start, fewer to quit and recognize we play an integral part in achieving this goal. The NAMM Vision Statement says it best…. We envision a world in which the joy of making music is a precious element of daily living for everyone; a world in which every child has a deep desire to learn music and a recognized right to be taught; and in which every adult is a passionate champion and defender of that right.
Have Fun
We work hard AND we play hard. It’s fun to help the world make music and we make a point to enjoy it!
