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 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, founded by Benjamin O'Brien in 1952. Originally offering printed music, lessons, dance lessons, and art supplies, the company soon focused solely on music. Since the 1990s, Music & Arts has expanded nationwide through organic growth and acquisitions. In 2005, it 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.
