Our mission


Our Core Principles
1) Make music together
2) Make music for each other
3) Make music relevant 

"Make Music Together" is about community. One thing that the pandemic shutdowns taught us is how valuable human interaction is for everyone - especially for musicians. We want to be the hub for communities of music makers, music lovers, music teachers, and music students. We often like to say that musicians need a tribe. 

"Make Music for Each Other" is about the importance of performing. We make music for ourselves but also for each other. Music should be shared. Music students shouldn't have to go to lessons every week without any plans to ever perform the music they are studying. We want to facilitate performance opportunities that are frequent and a whole lot of fun for everyone. 

"Make Music Relevant"  is about our commitment to supporting music makers, composers, songwriters, beat makers, and improvisers. Think about how in every other area of study in the arts, you're expected to create something new and novel (i.e. photography, videography, website development, graphic design, ceramics, dance, theater, etc.). Why, then, are composers and songwriters so rare in the field of music? While we idolize 300-year-old composers and vilify pop music "beat makers" our creative geniuses are leaving band and orchestral instruments behind. We need to change our perspective on this and fast. 

Our vision


"Make music essential"

We want people to love music more deeply and value it as something even more precious having been a part of our community. We want to be the home for music makers, teachers, and students, both young and young at heart. 

Get to know us


Established in April, 2023, Palos Verdes Music House is continuing a long tradition of being the premier music retail store instrument sales, instrument school rentals, and lessons studios in the Palos Verdes peninsula since the 1980's. Originally, Mr. B for Music, then Amuse Music Center, and now PV Music House.

Two things we value here the most is first, to create a place where musicians can find community, make music together, and make authentic human connections. Second, is to allow for a nurturing environment where people feel free to explore, make discoveries, innovate, and create new and amazing musical things.

How can we accomplish these things? Stay tuned to find out the latest news!
