Need some Band instrument Stuff?

It's midyear, and all those band instruments and supplies that your student is toting around is probably starting to need some attention. 

• Does your trombone player need some slide oil?
• Does your trumpet player need some valve oil?
• How about your little Drummer? Have they broken their sticks yet?
• REEDS REEDS REEDS - you know they are going to need extras! We have reeds for clarinets, saxes, oboe, bassoon......
• ...and for the string players, how about some rosin? Or an upgraded chin rest?
• ...or cleaning cloths for all the above instruments?

We've got you covered at Young America Music - in our [humble but accurate] opinion, Macon & middle Georgia's Best Music Store!

Free Concert Friday January 4, 7:30

Bobby Hall, who is an excellent guitarist and teacher at YAMS, will be doing free concerts just about every Friday night at YAMS @ 7:30 pm.

The concerts will be a variety of formats, feature a variety of styles, and will sometimes include his students performing in a friendly context.

Come on out for the first concert on Friday, January 4 @ 7:30 pm. It's free!

Christmas is coming! Start thinking YAMS now.....

Here at Young America Music we have a TON of music-related stuff that works great for Christmas - especially inexpensive little accessories that can make all the different in the world to a musician of any skill level.

Want some suggestions?

• A portable table-top music stand that sits on any flat surface and holds your music up at the correct angle
• Guitar picks - we've got a lot of different kinds! Christmas presents are a good time to get 'em to try something new!
• Ditto for Guitar Strings - try out those new glow-in-the-dark strings [ really! ]
• Music books - we've got books of music for just about every instrument, including tablature for the frets.
• Instrument cases - how about a blue case for your clarinet? A new case to replace that beat up old thing your guitar lives in?
• Synthetic reeds - if you play a reed instrument [clarinet, oboe, sax] Christmas is a great time to ask for a synthetic reed. They last a LOT longer the regular reeds, and it would be something new to try out! The cool factor is pretty high with these! 
• Spare tuners and metronomes - at YAMS prices, it's always easy [and a good thing] to have a spare handy].
• Reed cases - keep your reeds safe.
• Instrument cleaning kits - for all the band instruments. These make it easy to get last month's lunch out of your instrument, since band is after lunch and.....well, you get the picture!
• Harmonicas - we have 'em in all price ranges. It's a great instrument to have around, and sometimes even the dog likes it.
• New instrument cables - we have 'em! Ya' can't have enough of 'em!
• Spare drumsticks - or a different kind of drum sticks.
• Dinky little Orange Amps - battery powered, inexpensive, killer sound. Seriously!

So come by the store and get ahead on your Christmas shopping - even though it isn't Halloween yet! 

...and don't forget that we are on eBay as well. You never know what we're listing from week to week!

Band Instrumental Rental Program

 Young America Music has an EXCELLENT family-friendly Band Instrumental rental program  
[we ALSO rent Orchestra Strings as well!]


See below for some details about the program, plus some excellent points about the academic and social benefits of studying music!

This is what the storage room looks like in August, before all of the instruments have been rented out! You can see we have plenty of instruments in stock, and we are constantly getting more in, especially at the beginning of the school year.

YAMS is on EBAY!

We are now on eBay, offering a few things online. The selection will increase over time - after all, we're only human, and decided to start out small so we can get things right the first time.
