Spotlight on Powell: Why We Love Being Your Neighborhood Music Store

January 23, 2026

At Music Royale, we’ve always believed music should feel alive! Loud, fun, and full of heart. For the past 23 years, we’ve had the honor of calling Powell home, and let’s just say it: this community rocks.

Powell isn’t just where we’re located, it’s who we are. The town itself is a beautiful blend of family-friendly vibes and small-business grit. Local spots like Noctera’s live music nights, Powell on the Green, and the always-buzzing Local Roots create the perfect soundtrack for a community that loves to come together. Visit Powell has been an incredible partner, always championing local events and shining a spotlight on businesses like ours. And when we team up with other hometown legends like Big Mouth Egg Rolls and Mrs. Turbo’s Bakery, you know it’s going to be a good time.

23 Years of Music, Memories, and Community

For over two decades, Music Royale has been Powell’s friendly neighborhood music store, the place where you don’t just buy gear, but where you have a community. Whether you’re grabbing a new guitar, renting an instrument for band or orchestra, or stocking up on accessories like strings or straps, our shop has been the go-to spot for musicians of all levels.

But Music Royale is more than instruments and equipment, it’s about education, inspiration, and creating a space where music thrives. From private lessons and recitals to our Rock School program, open mic nights, and workshops, we’re here to keep music alive and loud in Powell.

What Our Community Is Saying

The real proof of what makes Music Royale special? The voices of our students and families:

• Tara B.: “My kids have been taking music lessons at Music Royale for the past 5+ years and we absolutely love the program. The instructors are highly skilled, motivated and flexible. This school has really developed both their talent and their love of music!”
• Macrina G.: “I’ve taken keyboard lessons from Music Royale for several years. I love that the lessons are personalized for my unique needs and the instructors are highly trained musicians with real-world experience.”
• Riley L.: “I always enjoy learning more about how the creation of songs and chords works. Working with Sara is awesome, she always points out the details I would have missed when I play, and is patient and kind whenever I make a mistake. She knows what she is doing and is good at teaching.”

These aren’t just testimonials—they’re reminders of why we do what we do. Music Royale isn’t just a business, it’s a stage for future rockstars, composers, and lifelong music lovers.
