The Creative Music Center is a Top 100 Music Store in Monroe, Connecticut, offering Music Lessons, Instrument Rentals, and Repairs.

At Creative Music Center, we love making musicians! Our goal is to make music fulfilling, enriching, and joyful for every person who uses our services and buys our products.  We strive to make music education fun and/or rewarding, and/or fulfilling.  And we work towards helping every musician – whether a first-time student or someone aspiring for the big stage – build their self-esteem.  Here at Creative Music Center, there's nothing we like better than meeting and talking with musicians, supporting parents of young musicians, and encouraging new band students. We think our passion for music is contagious and what makes us the only store in Connecticut named a Top 100 retailer by the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) year after year.  Stop into the store or give us a call and become a part of our musical community!
