ABC Music School and Big Johnson’s Guitars humbly opened in the spring of 2007 in a small but beautiful location in Torrington, CT.

In 2008 we moved to Litchfield to be a part of the area’s large arts community.

We were working hard to create a much more client focused business with more attention to the growth of our students and the satisfaction of our retail customers. In short we wanted you, our clientele, to be our number one priority. Over a decade and a half later, that first mission statement of “Kids First” took hold and to that we hold!

Here you will find an incredible amount knowledge on all fronts. We are a little bit “Retro” in that we feel not only should we be qualified to instruct, but also to discuss any instrument in depth in case of purchase or repair needs. There aren’t any “departments” here. Just humans with smiles, a sense of humbleness, honor and empathy.

We take safety seriously; our background check for all instructors and therequirement of a music degree to teach is part of our commitment that you get only the best instruction and character for your musical journey.

It IS different at ABC Music School and Big Johnson’s Guitars, where “We Make Musicians”.

We help you sound like you!
