The first Music & Arts was located in a small house in Bethesda, MD and run by founder Benjamin O'Brien. When Music & Arts opened its doors in 1952, we offered printed music, music lessons, dance lessons, and art supplies.

In 2005, Music & Arts joined forces with American Music to become the largest band and orchestra instrument retailer in the United States.
