History - How We Grew
From A Music Studio To A Music Store
The first Opus 1 Studio
was opened in 1985 at Northbrook Plaza in Evansville, Indiana. Opus 1
Studio was primarily a teaching studio. Gradually over the years we expanded to
include retail product sales and assumed the official business name of Opus 1
Music.
The Northbrook store was
expanded three times, as walls from adjoining retail spaces were removed to
allow for our growth. Opus 1 Music became known as the “Tri-State’s Fastest
Growing Music Store.”
In July 1987 a second
location was added in Evansville’s new Eastland Mall. Eastland Mall is a
regional shopping mall, drawing visitors from over a 60-mile radius. Our
presence there allowed us to become known to a much wider customer base.
In January 1991 Opus 1
Music moved it's Eastland Mall store to the Wal-Mart center located on the newly
constructed Lloyd Expressway. In March 1992 we moved the Northbrook Plaza
store to University Plaza near the rapidly expanding University of Southern
Indiana campus. These moves allowed us to increase the size of each store
and to provide a convenient location for our customers. Opus 1 Music was
now positioned for growth!
During the next few years
we combined the two stores into a single, larger Lloyd Expressway store.
In February 2003 we moved into our current, totally renovated 12,000 square foot
facility located at 301 North Royal Avenue in Evansville, Indiana. The Opus 1 Music super store was born!
Continuing Tradition -
Our Music Studio Today
Throughout all of our
growth and expansion of services, the Opus 1 Music teaching studio program has
maintained focus on our original goals and purpose – to provide the very best in
private musical instruction. The Opus 1 Music studio now provides lessons
for over 400 students a month. Our teachers are carefully screened and
selected for their musical expertise and training. Our teacher selection
process places great emphasis on an instructor's ability to relate to students
in ways that make music lessons rewarding and enjoyable. Our goal today, as in
the past, is to to achieve excellence through high quality music education for
students of all ages, for all musical instruments.
