Meadowood is part of the community.
We believe that, when people MAKE music, they grow in special & important ways.
With music, children do better in school, adults make new friendships & elders remain more mentally active.
That's why Meadowood does more than just sell & service instruments & give lessons.
Open Mics
Our open mic began in 1998 (Kutztown Park Bandshell). In 2000 it moved to our original location in Kutztown, then moved with the store to Blandon in 2005. In 2018, it moved to Clay on Main - 313 Main Street, Oley:
1st Mon: Apr-Jun & Sept-Dec, 7:00- 9:00 PM.
Concerts
Since 2005, we've partnered with local businesses, music non-profits, dinner theaters, restaurants, universities & clubs to host concerts by local musicians & national artists like Robin Bullock, Ken Kolodner, Mark Corsgrove, Craig Bickhardt & others.
Clinics
Through two types of clinics at the store & other locations, we give musicians opportunities to learn from master players (technical clinics) & to see/play instruments that are not usually in stock (product clinics).
Jams
We host jams at the store: Bluegrass - Tues, 6-8 PM& a beginners jam - Thurs, 6-8 PM. We host a youth jam (ages 8-15) at Clay on Main in Oley - 3rd Wed monthly, 5:30-7:30.
Festivals
We directly sponsor three music festivals: Maidencreek Old Time Music Festival at Maiers' Grove & the Berks Fiddle Festival (formerly Lyons Fiddle Fest) & Berks County Scottish FIRE, both at Fleetwood Park.
Recitals
Our teachers organize formal & informal recitals for their students to showcase their accomplishments. At formal recitals& informal (open mics), we provide a facility, emcee services & accompaniment.
Local Musicians
We often get requests for referrals to musicians to perform at weddings, parties, corporate events. While we can't provide links to every performer in the area, we do have links to some.
Product Events
We host open-house "product events" to introduce new products, allowing people to try things out & enjoy clinicians' demonstrations. Each event is a "petting zoo" for instruments & accessories.
Selection/Care Tips
With care, your instrument will last for generations. Simple steps will help keep it in prime condition for you & others to come.
M&P Perform
Mike & Paula founded Meadowood with the beliefs that sharing music makes life better. So, they perform acoustic music... singing, & playing guitar, mandolin, bass, fiddle...pretty much anything that strikes their fancy.
