I get this question quite a lot when I tell people I work at a music store. “Do all of the people you work with play instruments?” While not everyone at Paige’s plays an instrument, the majority of us do. In fact, it’s usually more than just one instrument. It doesn’t stop at simply playing the instruments either. We have staff who teach privately, teach at schools, as well as compose music that’s performed by school ensembles.
Watch below as a few of our staff answer this very question from past staff spotlights.
Musically trained children performed better in a memory test that is correlated with general intelligence skills such as literacy, verbal memory, visuospatial processing, mathematics, and IQ.
I have never liked recitals. Or auditions. Even playing my solo for Solo & Ensemble. I have always been more comfortable performing when there was at least one other person on stage with me. Some people will tell you if you get nervous it means that you aren’t prepared enough but I think that statement is not entirely accurate.
Paige’s Music is hiring for multiple positions within our Retail Sales department!

Young Children who take music lessons show different brain development and improved memory over the course of a year, compared to children who do not receive musical training.
On September 23, 2019 Paige’s Music participated in the Conn-Selmer Artist Select program. This program allows professionals to hand select and play test each instrument from the factory to ensure that only the finest instruments are available to customers. K. Blake Schlabach and Tucker Woerner carefully play tested dozens of instruments, and we are happy to say that our top five selections are now available at Paige’s Music.
Every once in a while, we get in repairs that we just have to share. For our latest installment, we recently had a cornet brought in that was literally found on a trash pile. One of our highly skilled brass technicians, Sam Richards, performed his magic on this instrument and brought it back to its original beauty. Here is the customer’s review after receiving the instrument back…
Look at this beauty. It is an E. A. Couturier, made in 1918. It is a Bb and an A cornet. It has a turn key on the right side when rotated changes it from the Bb to the A. It was given to me about 4 years ago by a friend that retrieved it from the trash pile. He said he didn’t know if it was any good. I could play it some but it needed work to play correctly. Thank you to Mr Kevin Cottrell from the Seymour High School for suggesting sending it to Paige’s Music. They had it only a week and I got it back today. They did an AWESOME job bringing this old cornet back to life. I am extremely happy with the service and thrilled to have this beautiful antique sounding as it did 101 years ago.
Below are a couple of pictures of the finished product the customer posted on social media. We’re always up to a challenge here at Paige’s Music Repair, and in many circumstances are able to bring an instrument back to top playing condition, regardless of how badly it may have been damaged. So no matter how big or how small, you can always trust the pros at Paige’s Music Repair to deliver high quality repairs at a competitive price!
