Here at Coles Music, our mission is to invest in the future of music.
One of the ways we do that is by servicing our local schools with Education Representatives. These reps visit each school once a week and will bring anything that a music teacher might need from our shop directly to their classroom. Here are just a few of the items we often provide for our teachers through Education Representatives:
-student rental instruments
-ensemble music
-woodwind repairs/accessories
-brass repairs/accessories
-string repairs/accessories
-Orff instruments/repairs
-Electronic Keyboard/Amplifier repairs
We also provide our schools with professional development opportunities for the teachers and performing clinics for the students. We have been a part of various clinics held at universities all over the state, including, Rowan University, The College of New Jersey, Camden County College, and Rutgers University.
