Meyer Music | Blue Springs

Meyer Music is the store that donates used ornaments to Band of Angels to that children who can't afford to buy musical instruments in school, can be provided one at no cost. Besides that, it's a kick ass store.I had an old, dilapidated guitar with the fret board way too high for anyone, unless you wanted blisters on your fingers, that I've had since 6th grade. It gave me blisters then too. Had I not persevered, that thing would've made me quit. At this point in my life, it had to go, and I chose to donate it to Band of Angels. Oh, I've upgraded tremendously with a nice, Yamaha classic guitar with soft strings that I've had for more than a few years.Meyer Music is the only independent store like it around the Independence/Blue Springs area. Guitar Center specializes in guitars and drums, and are everywhere. Luybens is the closest independent music store, and that's on Main in Kansas City. Meyer Music specializes in pianos, and have an entire grand piano room, separate from the store itself.To my joy, I found the musical score for Super Mario Brothers, on piano. That was among everything else in this compacted store. They have most instruments, sheet music, instruction books, and cool gifts...like the violin lapel pin, or a Beethoven bust statue. Bizarre items like that are cool to me. Beethoven and Mozart are musical gods. So, this store appeals to me in more ways than one. Locally owned (by Ted and Betty Meyer,) has been around for ions, and they do an excellent job maintaining the shop.

Not a fan, I'd always recommend going somewhere else... I have four children and 6 different instruments that they play and almost every time I have to deal with Meyer it is an unpleasent experience. Their lessons are overpriced, the scheduling is done through the teachers yet Meyer charges you for lessons missed even when you communicate that you need to miss or reschedule a lesson with the teacher which is REALLY frustrating and feels greedy. They dominate as the company to use by the band and orchestra teachers so much in Liberty and NKC schools that you are basically forced through LPS district to rent here which is REALLY a conflict of interest since as the Meyer Family have kids and relatives in the bands/orchestra at LPS and NKC schools so..... I'll let you come to your own conclusion there. Also, be very careful when you go to upgrade your instrument , they tend to "talk up' what they have as trade ins to get rid of their extra not necessarily because they are the best "fit".

I want to give the staff at meyer music in blue Springs a huge THANK YOU for fixing my daughter's bent clarinet so quickly and inexpensively

Meyer Music has a decent selection of sheet music, but limited instruments and accessories. Although they offer lessons for various instruments, they don't support them with sales. Of you are interested in a piano, this seems to be their specialty. Meyer Piano may be a more accurate name.

Love the music. Our kids and our kids kids will learn to play at Meyer Music. Great family and great supporters of music in our schools. Keep playing.

I went to the Lee's Summit school district directed instrument test and buy program hosted by this company. I ended up signing up for a new trumpet for my daughter. What I didn't realize at the time, is I signed this company's agreement to pay appropriately $1,000.00 for an instrument that is for sale everywhere for $130 or less. Wow am I an idiot and this company has their hooks in the Lee's Summit School District. Stay away!!! There are so many better options than this crooked company. I give zero stars to this establishment.

The teachers are wonderful with our young children. Very patient and kind. However the front desk staff are horrifying. Shawn at the front is a rude twat to young kids just looking for help. When you pay they don't even say thank you!! I'd find another place if it weren't for the talented teachers.

My daughter missed Try the Instrument night at school, so her director recommended that we go to Meyer Music. Fortunately I called ahead, we were told that she could not try out any instruments there because they would "need a full time band instructor to allow students to try instruments." We went to Shining Light in Lee's Summit instead, where they did allow her to try out the instruments, she had no trouble figuring them out (between my mother and I we have played on most of them and we were able to show her how to hold them and place fingers). This was exactly what we wanted, and were very disappointed that Meyer would not assist. Their prices were also significantly higher than Shining Light. Needless to say, we will be taking all of our business to Lee's Summit. Very disappointed with this business!

Such a friendly staff. Always happy to help and always a pleasure to do business with. I recommend them for all musical/instrument questions, or concerns.
