Our Mission

At Mike Risko Music School and Store, we provide top-quality instruments, rentals, repairs, and music lessons on all instruments and voice for all ages and levels. Our offerings also include musical theater and rock band programs, and we are home to the Mike Risko Band. Committed to our community, we support local organizations with live music events and revitalize used instruments through our Musical Instrument Donation Program, getting them back into the hands of new players. We strive to foster a love of music, empower individuals, and build a stronger, more inclusive community through music.
