About Us
     
   
We at Martocchio Music want to make the learning experience    
               fun,challenging, creative and rewarding.

    Martocchio Music is a local, family owned business.  Our primary
    business is the retail sale and rental of band and orchestral instruments,
    the sale of accessories and sheet music, repairs and music lessons.   

    A new addition!  This September, Linda Martocchio Hart, Educational
    Consultant, will expand the functions of Martocchio Music from music
    education to a more comprehensive educational service for students of all
    ages. We will provide after school homework assistance in groups as well
    as individual tutoring.
       
    Linda is a former public high school guidance counselor, writing  coach,  
    and English teacher for both middle and high school grades with
    extensive experience in many areas.  She holds a Master’s Degree in
    Counseling (MS) from Central Connecticut State University and a
    Bachelor’s Degree in English with an Education minor (BA) from Bates
    College.   She has devoted her entire career to furthering children’s
    education and preparing them for the future.  Linda is excited to be
    joining the family business as Educational Consultant in charge of all
    aspects of academia.

    Our school instrument rental program is designed to afford the
    elementary student and parent a cost effective means of trying a band or
    orchestral instrument.  The money paid in the initial trial rental period
    and subsequent rental periods is applied towards the purchase price, and
    throughout the year we offer discounts off your remaining balance, if and
    when you decide to buy.  

    Our lesson program is for students of all ages.  We offer private lessons on
    woodwind, brass, strings, percussion, guitar, bass, piano and vocal.  We
    can also help your child either accelerate or catch up in your schools
    music program with private lessons.  We now have 10 teaching studios,
    two ensemble rooms, a parents lounge and an area for recitals.  Please
    feel free to drop by and take a tour of our new facility.

    originally from South Windsor and is a graduate of Southern Conn. State

    We hope you will seriously consider letting us be a part of your child’s
    musical and educational growth.
