Bethel Music Center Moves
After more than 23 years at 103 Greenwood Avenue, the Bethel Music Center (BMC) has moved to 273 Greenwood Avenue, next to the Bethel Cinema. The new location more than doubles the floor space of the business. The education and advancement of music has always been a major focus at BMC. The recent move enables the store to offer many new programs in its education department including group lessons, ensemble classes, workshops, and professional private instruction. The grand opening at the Bethel Music Centerâs new location is the weekend of May 9. Visit the store online at: www.bmcmusicsource.com.
