Our motto is “Play now. Play for life.”
The Cedar Valley has a very long and rich musical history. Always at the center is some great theaters like the Gallagher-Bluedorn Center at UNI, Oster Regents in Cedar Falls, or the Waterloo Center for the Arts. The Cedar Valley has also had a rich nightlife for live music (though in the last year some of these places have fallen on tough times). We also have had local acts receive national headlines like the Bill Shepard Big Band and Maddie Poppe from American Idol.

“I’m a piano teacher and visit the store often. I appreciate that they keep a great selection of Piano Adventures Books on hand. The staff is always friendly and helpful. They order all sorts of books for me and call me when my order is ready for pick up. I’m thankful they haven’t packed up and moved to a larger community in this age of Amazon and Ebay.“

“Good variety of products and competative pricing. I’ve compared prices and products between here and Bob’s Guitars before and always ended up going here. The staff is helpful and informative. I also took lessons here for a long time and learned a lot.“
