  • Upgrading Made Easy: What Parents Should Know (Downloadable Upgrade Guides!)

    Upgrading Made Easy: What Parents Should Know (Downloadable Upgrade Guides!)

    Is your child playing violin, but you played trumpet in back in the day? Maybe vice-versa? Sometimes it’s not always clear when your child is ready for more than just the basics, especially when you are unfamiliar with their instrument. That’s why we created something just for you.

    We now have free downloadable upgrade guides on our website designed to help you understand what step-up instruments are, why they matter, and how to tell if now’s the right time.

    Each guide is written with families in mind. No pressure, no jargon. Just clear, honest info about what changes when a student grows beyond their beginner instrument.

    Here’s what you’ll find inside:

    • What makes a step-up instrument different (and worth it)
    • Key features to look for in strings, brass, and woodwinds
    • Side-by-side comparisons of beginner vs. performance models
    • Instrument specific features that you’l typically see in

    These are the same conversations we have in-store every day – now available to read anytime, right from home.

    Because the right instrument doesn’t just sound better. It helps your child feel better, play longer, and stay inspired.

    Create. Express. Inspire.

    Anniversary Sale 2025

    67 Years of Music, Community, and That Famous Wheel

    May 17 – 24, 2025

    There’s something special about May at Brighton Music Center. The school year is winding down, recitals and concerts are in full swing, and we start to see that spark in customers’ eyes. The one that says, “I’m ready for what’s next.” But for us, May means one thing above all: the Anniversary of Brighton Music Center. (and a REALLY great sale!!)

    If you’ve been part of the BMC family for a while, you already know what that means. The signs go up, the shelves are stocked, and the buzz begins. It’s the sale we wait all year for. Not just because of the discounts (though they’re pretty incredible) but because of what it represents. A celebration. A tradition. A reminder of how far we’ve come.

    Brighton Music Center first opened its doors in 1958. Jim Botti and Jim Kaplan, two band directors, built the business from a genuine love of music and community. They started small with just one storefront and focused on serving local musicians and schools with care and integrity. Over the decades, we’ve grown, evolved, and moved with the times, but that core idea hasn’t changed. We’re still here to connect people with the joy of playing music and making creating music accessible to everyone.

    Now, 67 years later, we’re proud to carry that mission forward. And every year, our Anniversary Sale gives us a chance to say thank you. Thank you to the parents who’ve trusted us with their children’s first rentals. To the students who’ve walked through our lesson studio doors week after week. To the teachers who’ve partnered with us to support their programs. And to the musicians who’ve shared their stories and dreams with us over the years.

    Of course, it wouldn’t be our Anniversary Sale without the Wheel of Savings. If you’ve never spun it, you’re in for a treat. At the time of your purchase, you walk up to the big colorful wheel and give it a spin. Where it lands? That’s your extra discount – anywhere from 10 to 50 percent off. It’s joyful, it’s unexpected, and it’s kind of addicting. We’ve seen entire families come just for the chance to spin. It turns a shopping trip into an experience.

    The sale runs from May 17 through May 24 this year, ending on Memorial Day weekend. That’s one full week to explore markdowns across the store and, yes, spin the wheel. It’s also the perfect time to upgrade. If you’re a rental customer, we’ll help you convert your rental into ownership. If you’ve been thinking about finally buying that guitar, keyboard, drum kit, or sound gear you’ve been eyeing, now’s the time. And if you’re just getting started? There’s never been a better moment. (Seriously, there’s never a bad time in your life to start making music!)

    This sale is for anyone who’s ready to take the next step on their music journey, whatever that looks like. We hope you’ll join us.

    Because 67 years of Brighton Music Center wouldn’t mean much without the people who’ve made it what it is. And this celebration? It’s as much yours as it is ours.

    We’ll see you in the shop. 😉
