Welcome to Dragonstone Music
Our mission is to work with schools, music stores, and teachers to help students of all ages reach their highest potential and to enjoy particpating in musical activities by providing sound, well-maintained instruments at an affordable price.
Over the past few decades, school budgets for the arts have been cut, and resources spread thin. In school districts fortunate enough to own instruments for their students, routine maintenance costs are a relatively low priority. Consequently, students often wind up playing on instruments that are in less-than-optimal condition.
Like cars, instruments need to be maintained regularly to keep them in peak playing condition, and for preventing small, inexpensive problems from developing into more serious, costly ones.
Have you ever watched a child struggle to ride a bicycle with under-inflated tires and loose handlebars? Not only is it difficult, but leads to bad habits and possibly injuries.
While not quite as dramatic, playing a poorly-maintained musical instrument can also lead to bad playing habits and potential injury. Something as simple as a poorly-placed soundpost or rosin-caked strings can discourage a student because the instrument is difficult to play and, frankly, sounds awful.
Let Dragonstone Music maintain your students' instruments, and help them to experience the joys and creative outlets that music has to offer.
