Pepperell Music Center is having a Sale!

img_0002aStarting on Saturday, January 23rd and running until Saturday, January 30th, all used equipment at the Pepperell Music Center is on sale.  This includes all guitars, drums, amps, sound systems, and cases – if it’s used, it’s priced to move!

All prices are insanely low, and supplies are limited, so please stop by soon!

Well here it is 2010 and we have some new things coming up for the new year. First of all we at PMC want to thank everyone for a great 2009. For 2010 we’ll be hosting some new shows and starting up our “Ensemble Nights” again. We also have some new instructors that have joined the staff at PMC. On piano we have brought in Michael Dugas and on voice Cait Bagby. Check back soon for more news. Have you ever wanted to take piano lessons but never got the chance? Or are you just looking to try something new.

The Pepperell Music Center is now offering a month long piano lesson package that includes:

  • A Full Month of Piano Lessons
  • A Beginning Piano Book
  • A Metronome
  • An audio recorded CD of what you had learned to play at the end of the month.

This is a $120 value, offered for the low price of $90.

All lessons are private, one–on-one sessions based on the students musical interests. Lessons run a half hour, once a week and are available based on instructor availability. After the final lesson of the month, the student will receive an audio CD recording showcasing what the student had learned over the course of the month.

As a sponsor of the Merry Rockmas Benefit Bash, I was proud to help present a check for $1,000 to the student representatives of the American Cancer Society Relay For Life of North Middlesex Regional High School.  The event was a huge success, and Mumblefish and Eastwood Peak rocked the house all night long.  In the picture are Gretchen Archambault, event sponsor and local author, Chuck Smith, another sponsor and owner of web design firm Life Is Local, and members of both Mumblefish and Eastwood Peak.

It was a great time, and Mumblefish and Eastwood Peak sounded great.  And we’re glad we helped out the American Cancer Society Relay For Life of North Middlesex Regional High School.
