About Music & Arts
Music & Arts embodies the world of creativity and music by
encouraging our teammates to find their own individual sound. We
strive to create lifelong musicians and make a difference in the
world by enabling musicians and non-musicians alike to experience
the almost indescribable happiness that comes from playing an
instrument. We believe in putting our customers first, engaging
with respect and integrity and fulfilling our mission with
passion.
The first Music & Arts was located in a small house in Bethesda, MD
and run by founder Benjamin O'Brien. When Music & Arts opened its
doors in 1952, we offered printed music, music lessons, dance
lessons, and art supplies. Ben decided shortly after opening his
business that he wanted to focus on music to better serve his
customers -- a decision that remains intact to this day.
Since the 1990's, Music & Arts has expanded nationwide through
organic growth and a series of acquisitions and mergers with other
music dealers. In 2005, Music & Arts joined forces with American
Music to become the largest band and orchestra instrument retailer
in the United States. Based in Frederick, MD, Music & Arts is now
part of the Guitar Center enterprise and comprises 225+ retail
stores, 200+ educational representatives, and 250+ affiliate
locations.
