For years, Cedar Music Store and Studio has been the go-to spot for musicians in Southern Utah. Owned by local musicians Derrek and Leslie Adams since 2019, the shop relocated to a new Downtown Main Street location and has become a staple of Cedar City’s arts community.
More than just a retail store, Cedar Music is a one-stop hub for learning, creating, and performing. The shop carries a wide range of high-quality instruments—from brands like Teton, D’Angelico, Yamaha, and Martin—to keyboards, violins, and drum kits, all at competitive prices. Accessories, sheet music, and rentals for school band and orchestra students round out its offerings.
For those looking to learn, Cedar Music’s private lesson program employs nearly 20 teachers, many of whom are local musicians or university students. Lessons are available for guitar, piano, voice, violin, drums, and more, making it one of the most affordable music education options in Southern Utah. All lessons are taught in private rooms within the store, ensuring that students have the tools and environment they need to thrive.
Parents and students alike praise the store for its supportive atmosphere. “Cedar Music Store and Studio has been my daughters’ music haven where they’ve been able to hone their talents through dedicated teachers,” said parent Heather Velazquez. Customers also rave about the retail side: “I found the perfect guitar for me. I fell in love with it, and my husband loved the price tag,” shared Dallas Harper.
From first-time students to professional musicians, Cedar Music’s knowledgeable staff is dedicated to helping every visitor find the right instrument, accessory, or teacher. “The staff and the owner are always extremely nice and know their stuff,” wrote customer Dillon Fahey. “Pricing is very fair, if not better than online, and you can clearly tell they have a passion for what they sell.”
