Welcome to The Music Shoppe!
We can’t wait to get to know you and your family and serve you in the same spirit you’re accustomed to at B&J Music! Just like B&J, we are a family-owned business with an emphasis on the school market. We began in 1961 in Bloomington, and now have 3 locations – Normal, Champaign, and Springfield. Although we don’t have a location in Danville, we’re familiar with the area, having served it since the mid-1980s. Today, we are central Illinois’ oldest and largest music retailer, offering a full line of the industry's top brands and a full service department to assist you with whatever needs you may have.
Again, Welcome to The Music Shoppe, we’re looking forward to serving you!
