The Music Farm - 4900 Whipple Ave. - Canton OH 44718
Starting as the janitor/sound guy for my local church at the age of fourteen, music has always been a part of me. I went to school for music production, worked in music retail for thirteen years, became a "Jack of all trades" or so to say, and fell in love with the music biz. After several trials and tribulations, I had moved on to starting my own online music store. The Music Farm was founded in 2004, and I couldn’t be more blessed to have a crew like the one you see here. From our family to yours, thank you for allowing us to help you Grow Your Passion. In the spirit of Ted Nugent, "God, guns, and rock & roll!"
I’m Jason a.k.a. KOOK. I play guitar to accommodate my true passion of singing. Seattle music is where my heart lies. I specialize in acoustic guitars and microphones. I was a faithful customer at The Music Farm before getting lucky enough to work here. I like the idea of no pressure sales, it allows me to get to what our customers really need. There has also never been a cheeseburger I didn't like!
Hi, I'm Jeff. Although many of my friends call me "Fong." I went to electronics school in the 70’s where I studied Vacuum Tube Technology. Though long before that I had started playing the guitar. My specialty is restoring Vintage tube amps, however I can fix just about anything from large speakers to small ukuleles and everything in between. I have a special collection of tubes, amplifiers, and vintage fuzz boxes. Working here at the farm has brought me into contact with so much incredible and unique gear, both new and used. I love having the opportunity to interact with great musicians in the area and from around the world!
I may not be in a band but I love music; especially country and folk. Growing up, I enjoyed playing the flute in my high school marching band. I previously did marketing for a Cleveland Jazz radio station, and I am excited to pick up the beat here at The Music Farm. I am your typical crafty girl who enjoys creating and designing things in marketing and graphics. After a few years in Cleveland, I am ready to be on The Farm!
I play both guitar and bass, but by no fault of my own I'm a guitar player at heart. At thirteen, I was supposed to get a bass guitar for Christmas, but my mom accidentally grabbed an electric guitar by mistake and that's where it all started! For the last eighteen years I have played in a 1980’s cover band. Because of my experience in the areas, guitar and pro audio are my expertise. I have worked in the music industry for nearly twenty years and wanted to work for a company on the rise that I felt I could add something to. I've never worked for a company that offered such a variety of brands and products. I would have to say, the only thing better than surrounding myself with music daily is hanging out with my step-dog, Bongo. But that’s just me.
I picked up the trombone in middle school, then saved up my mowing money to buy myself a bass guitar, and taught myself by playing along to Led Zeppelin and Who records. After a brief stint as an education major, I changed my major to music. I have since had the pleasure of writing and recording music with a number of groups, and am currently a member of two local bands. Besides my obvious bias towards the bass, I find any and all instruments fascinating (the quirkier the better) and will at least take a swing at anything I can get my hands on.
I grew up in a very musical family, where instruments were always on hand and family jam sessions were regular. I began on the trumpet in 5th grade, and have been playing guitar and songwriting since the age of 10. Music from all around the world has been, and always will be a passion and way of life for me. Working at The Music Farm allows me to help others feel the same joy and passion that I have for music. I have also been able to expand my knowledge of musical instruments and equipment. When I am not at The Music Farm, I enjoy playing gigs, gardening, painting, speaking French, and spending time with my loved ones.
The Music Farm wants to be your go-to place for all things music. We want to help you Grow Your Passion® in any way we can. To help with this we have established an ever-growing lesson program, starting at age 5 and up. We currently offer guitar, bass, ukulele, banjo, and drum lessons. Our instructors are versed in other areas as well, so if there’s something you’re looking to learn, please don’t hesitate to give us a call.
Our lesson program runs with one 30 minute lesson per week. The cost of each lesson is $20. These are not group lessons, but a one-on-one with the instructor.
Since every student is different, the first lesson is spent getting to know what goals the student has in mind as well as what kind of music they’re interested in, what the student already knows, and what they would like to learn. Practice is very important, and the instructor will likely assign homework to be done during the week prior to the next lesson.
Because we believe practice is very important, we offer a 10% discount throughout the store to our students currently enrolled in the lesson program. This ensures the student will have everything they need, and also to thank you for choosing so take part in our program.
Lessons can be rescheduled, but not refunded. So we ask you to please check your schedule before signing up.
