Method Books & Sheet Music

Even with today's technology, music books and sheet music are still widely used.  There's nothing like a tangible book that teachers can write in, that you can keep on your piano or in your music library, or that is always there to be used in the future.  We are a retailer for such major publishers as Hal Leonard, Alfred, Kjos and Warner Bros., among others.  We also stock manuscript (staff) books and manuscript paper.  Whether you're a student looking for a method book that your teacher instructed you to get, or you just want to learn to play through some of your favorite songs, we are the place to find the printed music you're looking for.

Musical Instrument Rentals

Blue Sky Music Store offers musical instrument rentals to students and schools in the greater Capital Region.  We service the students of the Bethlehem Central School District, Voorheesville School District, Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Schools, Berne-Knox-Westerlo Schools, Greenville Schools, and the Guilderland Central School District, just to name a few.

We are happy to offer quality instrument rentals, providing such brands as Yamaha, Selmer, Holton, LeBlanc, Pearl, and Schiller among others - in a rent-to-own program where your rental payments build up equity so you can eventually own an instrument.  If you're concerned that your child will lose interest, our rental program is the way to go - getting started can be as little as $15.00 for the first 4 1/2 months!  You can either visit our music store or rent on-line from the comfort of your home.  When renting on line, choose " Pick Up At Store" for faster service and don't forget to choose your child's school!  Also, there is no need to purchase any additional accessories while in the rental site, as we have the specific accessories that your school requires here in our store.  The "starter kits" that are in that site for example, contain more items than are required by your school.

Instrument Repair / Restrings

Instrument & Electronic Repair / Restrings

Does your guitar or bass need some attention?  Are your strings old and rusty?  Or maybe you just restrung it but find that it's buzzing, or playing out of tune past the 5th fret.  Does your horn have a leaky valve?  Are some of the keys not working properly?  Is your electric guitar or bass having electrical issues?  Is the input jack cutting out, or the pick-up switch not working properly?  Don't fret (pun intended) - we can get your axe playing like new again!  See below for some of our services offered:

New Instruments

While we do sell some professional instruments, especially in our used inventory, our inventory of new instruments mostly focuses on high quality instruments for the beginner and intermediate player.  There's a lot of junk out there in the beginner market, and we take great pride in making sure that none of that junk makes it onto our floor.  We're very aware that learning on a bad instrument can discourage the student from enjoying his or herself, leading to frustration and eventually giving up altogether.  We've even seen quality brands change their country of manufacturing, resulting in inferior instruments, causing us to seek out different brands.  An inexpensive, entry level guitar does not necessarily have to have poor action or play out of tune up the neck!
