Music & Arts has announced a new store location at the Rice Creek Village Shopping Center in South Carolina.
Located at 4611 Hard Scrabble Road in Columbia, the new location expands Music & Arts’ lesson space and service capabilities to better serve the residents of Columbia and the surrounding towns of Forest Acres, Cayce, Springdale, Denny Terrace, Oak Grove, and Pine Ridge. The store also serves school music programs throughout Richland, Lexington, Kershaw, and Fairfield Counties.
“Since day one, services such as rentals, repairs and lessons have been an important part of our retail experience,” said Music & Arts president Steve Zapf. “Sixty five years ago our company founder, Benjamin O’Brien, opened the first Music & Arts in a small house in Bethesda, Maryland; today, we are proud to serve communities across the entire US with his same level of dedication to students, parents, and music educators.”
“We thank the Columbia community for their warm welcome, and are excited to continue to offer the best in music education, resources, rentals, lessons and repairs,” added Mike Ditonto, director of sales for the Southeast.
