About Us
A&A Music is one of the first original, one-stop music stores in Ashburn and Brambleton area. Open since 2005, with two locations, A&A Music proudly serves the Ashburn, Leesburg, Sterling, South Riding and adjacent communities. Our managers are Roger Harshfield and Andy Nguyen.
At A&A Music, we believe that music and music education should be accessible for everyone and that quality instruments and service should compliment a quality music education. We also believe in the importance of affordability and value at all levels of the musical experience. As musicians, we know that students who develop a passion for music will reach a higher level of playing than students who feel forced or disinterested. This being said, at A&A Music, we hope to help you and your family to discover your love of music, while teaching the technical skills needed to do well, all at an affordable price.
Our Philosophy, "A&A Music, where your love for music is discovered!". Our mission is to bring the joy of learning and playing music to all people, without age limitation. Anyone from 4 year old to 90 year of ages can take lesson at our school. We accept students of every age as long as they have the desire to learn. Our students at A&A music are offered the best quality instruction, learning and performing any musical instrument such as piano/keyboard, violin, cello, guitar, flute, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, drum, and the most beautiful musical instrument—the human voice, enriched by the study music theory. All our teacher offer a standard educational approach to the theory as well as ear training and actual performance/practice techniques. We encourage all our students to make music a part of their lives. We truly believe that the joy of learning music should be available for every one.

Instrument Repair
We offer repairs for most instruments at both A&A Music locations. However, if there is major damage to the instrument or if the repair is outside the realm of our instrument repair experts' knowledge, we will send the instrument to a trusted team of Luthiers and repair experts. In a situation where we would need to send your instrument out for repair, or if our on-site repair would take longer than a few days, we would give you a loaner instrument so that you or your child would still be able to practice and go to lessons.
