"Music Authority is the place I want to spend my dollars because I get so much satisfaction from music. It’s a great feeling to learn a new song while working with an instructor, or buy that great sounding guitar I’ve been saving up for, or getting together with other musicians that share my passion and jamming together at an organized event. Music Authority offers all these things and more while promoting a friendly family atmosphere. I’m happy to support Music Authority and I’m excited every time I walk through their door. I’ve been a customer for years now and intend to keep spending my dollars there." - Tyler Marshall
