Music & Arts embodies the world of creativity and music by encouraging teammates to find their own voice. We strive to create lifelong musicians and make a difference by enabling musicians and non-musicians alike to experience the happiness that comes from playing an instrument. We put customers first, engage with respect and integrity, and fulfill our mission with passion.

The first Music & Arts was located in a small house in Bethesda, MD and run by founder Benjamin O’Brien. Since opening in 1952, we offered printed music, music lessons, dance lessons, and art supplies. Ben decided to focus on music to better serve customers — a decision that remains today. Since the 1990s, Music & Arts has expanded nationwide through growth and mergers.

In 2005, Music & Arts joined forces with American Music to become the largest band and orchestra instrument retailer in the United States. Based in Frederick, MD, Music & Arts is now part of the Guitar Center enterprise and comprises 225+ retail stores, 200+ educational representatives, and 250+ affiliate locations.

Here’s what we offer our employees who are musicians, including the opportunity of gig leave to take time off to share your music and return to your job after your tour. We offer robust benefits and perks, including 401K with company match, employee discounts, and more. The pay ranges listed are provided in compliance with state law and may vary by location and experience.
