Music Room was founded as Bessing's Music Store in 1960.  It was moved to its current Borden Road, Cheektowaga location in 1976 and was renamed The Music Room.  In 2013, Karen Janiszewski took over ownership and has worked tirelessly to give customers, students and their families an experience like no other in the WNY area.  To celebrate growth and survival in the past decade, we celebrate with a new website experience and a new department to bring what we do best beyond the Western New York locale, through Uplevel U: Music.

​

Music Room boasts a music lessons program based on individualized methods, diversified needs for achievement, and community, all while keeping that neighborhood, family atmosphere that people crave.  We also have the most flexible musical instrument rental program in the area, do most music instrument repairs on-site that instruments need, and our music store retail area is stocked with all the music instrument supplies that band and orchestra programs recommend.

​

Students that take music lessons with us are known to achieve lofty goals and carry their newfound skills into other areas of performing arts.  Our music lessons faculty creates professionals, students that become college music majors, and music hobbyists of all ages that embrace music as a part of their identity. 

​

The launch of the Uplevel U: Music project in 2023 presents to the world one of the first catalogs of online music PD courses specifically created for music teachers.  Relevant professional development courses for music teachers is very difficult to find but with Uplevel U: Music, school and studio music teachers from around the world may strengthen their skills through online, on-demand PD right from their home.
