We still hold our monthly drum circle on the second Saturday of every month – and for $5.00, YOU can join the session. NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY!! Anyone can join, and no musical ability is required! Drums are on display for examining and learning. We are your Drum Sales headquarters for Houston and we even offer drum lessons.

Come visit our new and improved show room. It is GORGEOUS! If you aren’t quite sure what kind of instruments or piano you might be interested in, come tinker around on all the different types from baby grand pianos to upright space saving pianos. Visit your Houston Piano Sales headquarters today. If you already own a piano, we offer a full array of piano lessons!

Do you realize school is right around the corner? We rent and sell band instruments to area school districts including Fort Bend ISD and Harris County school districts. This is a VERY easy process – even if your young musician changes their mind 3 weeks into school. Bring the instrument in, and we’ll exchange it on the spot. Just don’t wait – instruments go fast.

We have so many different types of music lessons in the Sugar Land area, that there are really too many to mention in one post. We offer violin lessons, piano lessons, band instrument lessons, and drum lessons – just to name a few. Our group lessons are small and our private lessons are taught by seasoned veterans. Call today for more information or visit our website at www.fortbendmusiccenter.com.

That brings on an entire set of new “to do’s.” Do you have a child in middle or high school that is considering band or orchestra? If so, what musical instrument are they considering? The band directors will more than likely steer certain budding musicians in one directions while steering other youngsters in a completely different direction.
