About Music & Arts
Music & Arts embodies the world of creativity and music by encouraging teammates to find their own individual sound. Founded in 1952 by Benjamin O'Brien in a small house in Bethesda, MD, the company began offering printed music, lessons, and art supplies before quickly focusing on music to better serve customers. Since the 1990s, Music & Arts has expanded nationwide through organic growth and acquisitions, eventually joining forces with American Music in 2005 to become the largest band and orchestra instrument retailer in the United States. Today, based in Frederick, MD, the company is part of the Guitar Center enterprise, comprising over 225 retail stores, 200+ educational representatives, and 250+ affiliate locations.
