Bennett Teaching Studios & Piano Sales
About
Bennett Teaching Studios & Piano Sales, also listed in some directories under the related name Bennett Academy Inc, operates at 1731 NW 38th Street in Oakland Park, in the western part of the city near the border with unincorporated Broward County. The dual name, combining a teaching studio with piano sales, describes a business model that pairs music instruction with retail sales of pianos, a combination that allows a studio to serve both the ongoing instructional needs of its students and the equipment side of learning an instrument, since piano students eventually need an instrument of their own to practice on at home.
This kind of combined teaching-and-sales model was more common among independent piano studios in past decades, when local piano dealers often also ran teaching studios out of the same showroom space, and it still exists today among smaller, family-run operations that have maintained both sides of the business over a long period. A studio offering piano sales alongside lessons typically stocks a mix of new and used upright and grand pianos, and may also offer piano tuning, moving, or maintenance referrals as part of serving its student and customer base.
NW 38th Street in this part of Oakland Park runs through a mixed residential and light commercial area near the city’s western edge, and a combined teaching studio and small retail piano showroom would fit naturally into this kind of neighborhood commercial pocket. The U.S. Census Bureau’s geocoding service confirms this specific address falls within Oakland Park’s incorporated city limits, close to Ferrer Studios, another music instruction business found at a nearby address on the same street during this research.
During research for this listing, no independently reachable business website could be located, and a search of Florida’s Division of Corporations under variations of the Bennett name did not surface an exact match among the entities reviewed. Because the only source found for this business is the original directory listing, this entry is flagged for review rather than presented as fully confirmed, consistent with this directory’s data integrity standards for any business where a genuine second independent source could not be identified.
Families and students interested in piano lessons or purchasing a piano from this studio should call the listed phone number directly to confirm current instructors, lesson availability, and what pianos, if any, are currently in stock, since none of these specifics could be verified independently through this research.
