Burnt Hills Music was started in 1991 by it's
present owner, Rick Werblow. A
graduate of
Syracuse University ( BA: Music), Rick performed in
thousands of
venues on the east coast.
In 1988 returning from Georgia, Rick began teaching
in
a local music chain, seeing 65 students a week on
guitar, piano,
bass, and harmonica. When that chain folded
in mid - 1991, Rick
"gambled everything" and
started
Burnt Hills Music.
Today Burnt Hills Music has ten teachers on staff
giving 250
students individualized
lesson programs in
Fretted Instruments (guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin),
Brass winds (trumpet, trombone, F. horn, tuba),
Woodwinds (saxophones, clarinets), Piano and
Drums. A total of 18 different
instrument programs
are available.
Additionally Burnt Hills Music has grown into more
than just a
teaching academy; it is now a full-line music
store, selling all of the above instruments,
with all
supporting
accessories. Full School Band rent-to-own
programs, including school breaks for all local school
districts is available.
