Our Goals, Values and History

Family Owned
The music store is family owned and run by the Farnsworth's. After 23 years serving our country in the U.S. Army including Desert Shield and Desert Storm, Don Farnsworth decided to get back to his roots. He has a Bachelor's degree in Music Education from the University of Cincinnati, College- Conservatory of Music and can play most instruments. His instrument of choice is the guitar. He has studied classical guitar with Clare Callahan, Professor of Classical Guitar at CCM and John Patykula, currently with Virginia Commonwealth University Department of Music. Don has had master classes with Christopher Parkening, John Williams, Julian Bream and Oscar Ghiglia. Don and his wife, Teresa, and son Cullen invite you to visit Wickham Road Music to see, and play all of the inventory! The family dog and WRM mascot, Jackie Blue, will be there to greet you at the door.

Dedication
The love of music fuels us! We are fully dedicated with our passion of music.
Helping others join the art and teaching them as well. Everyone should have
music be apart of their life!

‍
Service
We serve before we sell!
We welcome you with open arms. To take your time and really fall in love
with the instrument of your choosing. To be a part of the family and make it
a memorable experience.
