The Village Music Shoppe has been in business for over 35 Years. We were opened in 1969
by musicians looking to give other musicians the best quality products and services possible. We have continued that mission
by selling only products by companies that produce and stand behind a good quality product. To coin a phrase, "If we
don't sell it, it's not worth buying". Since 1969 we have taught over 90,000 Lessons to Long Island Musicians,
and plan to exceed 100,000 lessons by the end of 2006. Our teachers have many years of experience, some as much as 35
years. Our teachers, past and present, include, Chuck Schultz with over 25 years of teaching expertise. Jimmy Crespo, guitarist
from Aerosmith. Everett Collins, drummer from The Isley Brothers. Lou Agasta, drummer from Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn
Bridge. And the list goes on.
We rent band and orchestra instruments to the local school children at competitive
prices so they can "try it before they buy it". We have both new and used instruments in several price ranges to
suit many budgets. Our rentals include; violin, viola, cello, clarinet, saxophone, flute, trumpet and trombone.
We
are a small organization that prides itself on getting to know our customers and their needs. It is very common for us to
stock an item specifically for one customer so that it is available whenever he or she needs it.
We've recently
added Kindermusik classes to our curriculum. Kindermusik is a form of early childhood development classes that uses music
as a focus for teaching children from newborn to seven years.
