Learn to Play! at McClellan Music House
Isn't it nice knowing that there is a music shop that is located right in the neighborhood? I drive by this place every day, and even though I myself do not play an instrument, I am comforted by the fact that those that do have a place to go that is so handy. I've walked inside and stared at the beautiful surroundings... I've listened to the sounds of instruments being played through the walls of the old mansion. I've often thought to myself, "Why not take the time to learn to play something?" Well, here's the skinny on this musical wonderland that any neighborhood would love to call their own...
Have you always wanted to learn a musical instrument but never had the time? Do you know a student who needs extra motivation to excel on his or her instrument? McClellan Music House offers weekly, private, half-hour music lessons with Western New Yorkis best teachers. From now until October 31, 2006, new students receive one free lesson!
Recent research shows that students who play a musical instrument score higher on SAT tests, especially math and verbal skills, than their peers. The social experience and beauty of music-making are invaluable. Most importantly, music is fun!
School group lessons often do not assess the individual needs of each student. At McClellan Music House students receive one-on-one attention allowing them to develop their true potential.
Music lessons are a perfect way to enrich your life and start a fulfilling new hobby. Lessons are available on piano, flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, drums/percussion, violin, viola, and bass guitar. Most instruments can be rented or purchased.
Since 1910, McClellan Music House has provided WNY families and schools with quality instrument sales, rentals, repairs, and accessories. With a full selection of reeds, mouthpieces, strings, drum sticks, and books, McClellanis is your one-stop for the student to professional musician. McClellan Music House is at 305 Elmwood Ave. (near Summer St.) or call (716) 886-5902. Office hours: Monday -Thursday 10-6, Friday 10-5, Saturday 10-3.
