March 19th “Tenleytown’s Middle C Music Turns 20!”

4530 Wisconsin Ave, NW

From an email:

“From being the first to supply the now-famous “Landfill Harmonic” Paraguayan children with instruments to servicing nearly 100 instruments for D.C.’s Jefferson Academy, over the past 20 years, D.C.’s Middle C Music (4530 Wisconsin Ave. NW) has been a pillar of the local community and beyond. When word got out in 2004 that the nearby Best Buy was going to build a music store, the community successfully organized on Middle C’s behalf and Best Buy pulled out. Since inception, there has been three “Middle C Music Day Recognition” as voted by D.C. City Council.

And on March 19 they’re celebrating 20 years in Tenleytown.

Middle C, D.C’s only full-service music store with lessons and instruments for rent + for sale, was founded with the goal to become a true community-focused music store and it has done just that.

The anniversary block party will include lots of live music from past and present teachers + students, all-day blow-out sale, cake, and multiple instruments will be given away, including a Washburn guitar, to people who send in emails, video or song about their Middle C memories.”
