This was a really fun visit with a music store institution in Southern New England, Robert’s Music owners, Terri and Rob Vivieros. We learned about their musical backgrounds and the unusual path that led them to lead one the most solid music stores in the region. Their passion and commitment to life-long learning in music are obvious, mixed in with plenty of laughs about the journey. Ultimately, it became obvious during the spirited conversation that the role of a music store and their staff are so central to the success of music programs and individual musicians successes at any age or level of proficiency, that none of the amazing lifelong journeys through music performance would be possible.
