Greetings!

Spring has arrived!  Signs of the new season are popping up all around, including things at your local Samuel Music!  We hope you had a chance last month to stop in and take advantage of the amazing deals at our anniversary sale.  Maybe you even bought one guitar and picked up a second one for less than a dollar!  Whatever the case, be sure to hop in the car, roll down the windows, crank up the music, and in the words of U2, start singing, "It's a beautiful day!  Don't let it get away!"  Besides, you may just end up playing the song for us after your car pulls into our parking lot!  If that should happen, don't worry, our staff might just start singing along with you!

Thanks to our customers, our 65th Anniversary Sale last month was a HUGE success!  In fact, some of our walls were almost wiped clean!  Needless to say, we have lots of new product arriving in our stores each day!  Over the next few weeks, we expect products to arrive from:

  
         * Yamaha  * Fender 
     * Schecter * Pearl
     * Ibanez    * Peavey
    * Martin
  
Oh, and in case you don't have a spot to put that extra guitar you bought at our sale...we have the stand, hanger, or case you might just need to solve that problem!

APRIL 15 = NO TAX DAY?!?

The countdown has begun!  Tax Day is officially two weeks away.  This year, though, we're going to try taking some of the dread out of the day for you.  How is that possible?  We're going to pay the tax on any purchase you make Friday, April 15th!  Pianos, keyboards, band instruments, sound products, guitars, amps, and anything else you can fit in your car...yep, they're all included!

What Did They Say?

 
Jakob Adam 2

How often have you been somewhere for church, a performance, or some sort of event and found yourself asking everyone around you, "What did they say?" Don't worry, your hearing probably isn't going bad!  More than likely, the vicinity you're in could use a new or updated sound system.  Who are you going to call?  Ghostbusters won't help!  Instead, contact Jakob Adam, our professional sound installer.  Jakob has a keen ear along with a plethora of knowledge and experience about sound.  Feel like you've seen Jakob before?  You probably have!  He's also an active local musician!

Learning the Language!

 

piano lessons
It's been said that music is a universal language.  Anyone who's ever played before knows that learning an instrument takes a good teacher and practice.  At Samuel Music, we have great teachers working with new students of all ages!  From piano and guitar to band and voice lessons, we have a teacher to fit your needs! 

 

 
 
The month of April is a time to clean out closets, dust off furniture, open the windows, and welcome the warmer weather to enjoy the new season.  We continue to thank you, our customers, for your support, but most importantly, for the music you bring to our communities!
  
Sincerely,
