Before we opened for business in early 2023 we built a lessons studio in the music store. We anticipated having students learning music in the future. The very last day of 2025 we unveiled a name for this studio. We introduce you to the John Hamlin Music Studio located in Mr. Reid’s Workshop and Music Store.
John has taught hundreds of students over many years and makes his teaching home here in the music store. We honor him today by naming the studio after him. We appreciate you John Hamlin.
