FREDERICK, Md. (PRWEB) November 10, 2015
Music & Arts, the nation’s largest school band and orchestra instrument retailer, has expanded its presence in the New York metro area with the addition of two new locations in Riverhead, NY and Toms River, NJ (formerly Frankie’s Music). The two locations previously only offered instrument rentals through Music & Arts’ affiliate rental program, but now the stores will fully operate under the Music & Arts name and will continue offering rentals as well as repairs, private music lessons, and a wide assortment of instruments and accessories.
“We’re excited to expand our presence in the tri-state area especially right before the holidays because we know many families enjoy giving the gift of music,” said Peter Buciak, regional sales director, Music & Arts. “The new locations will also help serve many of the area school music programs with our rental, repair and lesson programs.”
Combined, the two stores will have the ability to offer private music lessons to about 400 music students in the area. Additionally, the locations will service many of the school districts in the area including: Toms River, Jackson, Southern Regional, Stafford Township, Lacey Township, Barnegat Townships, Riverhead, Hampton Bays, The Hamptons, Mattituck-Cutchogue, East Quogue, Quogue and all northern and southern fork school districts.
“I’m a believer that Music & Arts will be a great fit for our customers. They’ve been a great partner for my store and they’re just as passionate about music education as we are,” said Frankie Cicala, owner, Music & Arts in Toms River, formerly Frankie’s Music. “I’m happy to watch them continue our 30-year history and to still be a part of the store by teaching private lessons there.”
