Tickets $5.00 Thank you for investing in Music Authority's mission. Every day, the Music Authority teaching staff comes to work at the best job around.  We sow seeds of courage, confidence, and character in the spirits of the students we are privileged to teach.   As these young (and not so young) students go out into the world to become doctors, attorneys, scientists, artists, and musicians, they will forever carry the lessons they have learned here.  Not only note values and melodies, but also accountability, self confidence, the ability to speak in front of an audience, and so much more. We can't accomplish these lofty goals alone.  For us to do what we do best - teaching private lessons, rock band programs, camps, and concerts - we need you.  We need you to purchase tickets, guitars, drum sticks, and lessons.  Without you, Music Authority can't do what you love - provide outstanding education and experiences for your children. Each dollar you spend is an investment - an investment in your student's experience.  An investment in the future of hundreds of young people. We can't do this without you.  Thank you for taking the time to come to Music Authority to purchase the guitar.  I know it's easy to order online while drinking coffee in your bathrobe.  I appreciate the time it takes to come down here.  But here, your purchase is about so much more than just buying a guitar.   At Music Authority, the dollars you spend on products is reinvested in the educational programs that brought you to Music Authority in the first place.  The owners aren't buying a million dollar home.  They're continuing to reinvest in the educational standards that set Music Authority apart. Your purchase is helping to sustain a valuable resource - the programs and teaching staff your student loves and adores. We look forward to serving you this holiday season.   Earthquaker Devices Effects pedals for the beginner of the  most discerning guitar player. Waiting for your Christmas Stocking! Join a Rock Band!
