About Music & Arts

Music & Arts embodies creativity and music by encouraging teammates to find their own individual sound. We strive to create lifelong musicians and to enable musicians and non-musicians alike to experience the happiness that comes from playing an instrument. We put 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 to focus on music to better serve customers—a decision that remains today.

Since the 1990s, Music & Arts has expanded nationwide through growth and acquisitions. In 2005, Music & Arts joined forces with American Music to become a leading 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.
