Randy Kemp is a true professional in the music industry, and his expertise spans the gamut: theory, composition, live performance, production, engineering, and lessons.
I’ve known Mr. Kemp since 2000 and he never ceases to impress me. I can’t recommend Main Street Music enough.
Great expertise and enthusiasm. Had everything we needed. Highly recommended.

Thanks to Sarah, I was able to get a mouthpiece while being 2.5 hours away from home on a gig where I left my mouthpiece pouch. Came through in the clutch for me with a shew lead piece.
Great service!
Allowed me to trade in a Sax for Trumpet and gave me a very fair price on the Sax. Thank you Bethel Music
Competitively priced, a wide variety of sheet music, and great lessons.
Instrument rentals are great for their prices
Just stopped by quick. Had a great hour. They are the best
Good info from employees
4. Guitar Hangar – Lessons, Rentals, Repairs, and More
Address: 270 Federal Rd # 7, Brookfield, CT 06804 , Newtown , Connecticut , United States
My father passed away many years ago and I’ve been holding on to his broken down guitar for what feels like forever. I brought it in yesterday to have it fixed for my brother. Quick and beautiful repair, and the smile it put on my brother’s face was priceless. Thank you so much!
Awesome place with excellent and knowledgeable assistance from Rick. Have known him and bought and sold guitars through Rick for 20 years. Very highly recommended.
Horrible service the owner ignored me when I asked to play
Make sure that you buy your merchandise from inside the store !! Do not get it from EBAY because you will end up with trash..
owner is arrogant. store is filthy. selection is limited. looks like the music section of a pawn shop.
5. Creative Music Center
Address: 701 Main St, Monroe, CT 06468 , Newtown , Connecticut , United States
The older guy really helped me with my guitar! He was so nice!
All of the staff, from folks at the register to the instructors to the director of music education, are professional and knowledgeable, with a warm welcome to boot!
I love this place, i go in just to look at the product and I always end up buying something.
Came here with my son they were very rude to my son and not very knowledgeable… wouldn’t come back here again and don’t recommend it.
Brought my daughter’s flute in to be repaired. Over a month and they never touched it. No time table given for when they would fix it.
Rude. Terrible service. man had no knowlege of his products and prices were too high
6. Woodbury Music Shop
Address: 766 Main St S, Woodbury, CT 06798 , Newtown , Connecticut , United States
A hidden gem UPSTAIRS. Don’t miss it. Dave the owner is great, and talented. Patrick Gill is the PREMIER guitar TECH in the whole northwest CT region. He works miracles at a very fair price. Excellent teachers, Will for piano and keyboards and Mike for guitar and bass. Better check them out. I only trust my guitars to Dave and Patrick. Won’t go anywhere else. Seriously.
Woodbury Music is the best shop around of all of your instrument needs! The shop owner Dave, is both friendly & knowledgeable! I have gotten both common things done (fixing of saxophone keys) as well as unusual things done (fixing of a dulcimer bridge) and everyone has always been great! I have also taken lessons for almost three years now, and my teacher Mike is not only a dedicated teacher, but also a very talented professional. Stop by and check it out!
Great honest shop here. Had a great online interaction with Dave via email. Want to know why I trust them? Because they talked me out of a purchase. Ha! Thanks again!
7. Brand Cigars Newtown
Address: 266 S Main St, Newtown, CT 06470 , Newtown , Connecticut , United States
Great place for all of your tobacco needs. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff. Great variety and selection.
Lots of E-Liquid and other stuff
Place has everything and if they don’t the Owner will do his best to get it for you. Love this place
Lots of vape equipment and juice, standard tobacco products, and a large section dedicated to glass pipes, bongs, oil rigs, bowls, coils, batteries, etc….
There is a Walk-in-Humidor with a decent selection.
Great selection within a walk in humidor.

Very good customer service my son is taking guitar lessons with Patrick he s very good with kids .

FiveStars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
alEx is the best we are in here at least once a week and the good people at guitar center Danbury are always fixing strings, helping pick the PERFECT peddle, being cool, (the list goes on) alEx was even able to fix my new Jackson 7 string that he helped me chose While renting a microphone over the phone!!! 5 stars best guitar store in CT (from max)
Very helpful staff and good selection
Knowledgeable staff and easy to locate store
Friendly and helpful staff. Answered all my questions and concerns.
I was in at noon and 4 workers behind the counter doing nothing but fooling around ….anyway , for used gear everyone i know just goes on Reverb on 2022
No used equipment at this store, seems expensive
I was not allowed to return or exchange a music book I got as a gift, even with a receipt. The products online that I was interested in was not in the store. Their used instruments were over priced. All in all not a good experience.
9. Westbury Music
Address: 686 Main St, Watertown, CT 06795 , Newtown , Connecticut , United States
The Feola Family are awesome, helpful and actually excited about people learning music! Equipment, lessons or repairs, they’ve got you covered check them out.
Amazing service! I went in with my acoustic guitar to get restrung after I tried it myself and failed. They were able to find out what was wrong with the guitar and fix it and get it re strung very quickly and very inexpensive!
Honest people work here and they do a good job repairing or maintaining gear. Inexpensive as well.
Staff is very friendly and knowledgable.
Ordered instrument for my son, was told to pick up the next day, went the following day to pick it up and it wasn’t there. Also bought a box of reefs for the instrument and was given the wrong kind. The gentleman that waited on us was polite, although he didn’t recognize us even though we had just been in the day before!
excellent store, good Fender Selection, nice acoustics, lessons, and school instruments.
10. Sam Ash Music Stores
Address: 95 Amity Rd, New Haven, CT 06515 , Newtown , Connecticut , United States
Everyone there is very knowledgeable, friendly, and cares about the customer. The pedal selection is massive too and they have great recommendations. Will come back again!
Always have a great experience at Sam Ash. Stock items or a custom order always comes in on time and at the best price. Why would I go anywhere else.
sales people were helpful and patient and pricing was good.
A staple for all local musicians. Great staff!
Smaller than I expected as I was only used to their website so I guess I was thinking this place must be huge, but it’s about the size of a GC. However the people were nice and helpful and the gear was great.
Lots of inventory, could use more staff to attend customers, but overall good location and parking
They are out of business.
Very, very limited assortiment of MIDI keyboards, and very unhelpful staff
Terrible experience barely any guitars and they were dirty
