The Music House
About
Just north of downtown on US Highway 27, the business known locally as The Music House and online as Music Store Clermont has been serving the area’s musicians since 2007, which makes it one of the longer running independent shops in this part of Lake County. Rather than specializing narrowly in one thing, the shop has built itself into something closer to a full service music hub, covering private lessons, instrument sales, rentals, repairs, and a working recording studio all under one roof.
The lesson side of the business covers a wide range, with private and group instruction available across multiple instruments along with online and virtual group lessons for students who prefer learning from home. There are also more specialized offerings that a lot of small music schools do not bother with, including basic home recording instruction, DJ lessons, and music theory workshops for students who want to understand the mechanics behind the music rather than just play by ear. That range makes the shop useful to a wider swath of the community, from a young beginner picking up guitar for the first time to an older student who wants to learn how to run their own home studio setup.
On the retail side, the shop stocks guitars, acoustic and digital pianos, drums, keyboards, violins, banjos, harmonicas, amplifiers, pedals, microphones, and band and orchestra instruments, with lease to own financing available for families who would rather spread out the cost of a first instrument. For instrument rentals specifically, the shop partners with a larger rental program, a common and practical arrangement that lets a small local shop offer rental options without carrying all of that inventory risk itself.
Beyond lessons and retail, the recording studio side offers voiceover work and music video editing, along with videography services, equipment rental, and rehearsal space for local musicians who need somewhere to practice as a group. The shop also runs trade in, consignment, and donation programs, giving musicians a way to pass along instruments they have outgrown rather than letting them sit unused in a closet.
Serving Minneola, Winter Garden, Mascotte, and Orlando in addition to Clermont itself, the shop has clearly built a reputation that extends well past its own zip code, which is typical for a well established independent music store in an area without a lot of direct local competition. Anyone interested in lessons, an instrument purchase, or studio time should reach out directly to confirm current hours, pricing, and availability, since a business covering this many services tends to have a fairly complex schedule behind the scenes. For Clermont residents looking for music instruction and instruments without driving into Orlando, this shop remains a genuinely local, independently owned option with real staying power.
