History Patrick's Music School (aka Patrick's Musician) first opened
its doors for business in 1972. The following 24 years were spent as a full
conservatory, one which provided: music lessons; merchandise; rental instruments
to local school programs; and sold pianos and organs (Baldwin Piano and Organ
Company). Early 1996 the store chose to stop selling merchandise and to limit
the business to music lessons only. Today, the school offers lessons for most
music instruments with a teaching faculty of professional and educated
musicians.
