Founded in 2009, Hill City Music is a locally owned and operated music store located in Lynchburg and Roanoke, Virginia. The company specializes in providing high-quality instrument repair services, along with band and orchestra sales and rentals, as well as music lessons across various instruments and skill levels. Hill City Music is dedicated to serving the local band and orchestra community, equipping musicians with exceptional repair services and expert craftsmanship.
Under the ownership of Matt Yates, who possesses a strong background in music education and repair, Hill City Music has built a reputation for excellence by adhering to core values that prioritize quality, customer service, knowledge, and accountability. The store initially started as a repair service focused on helping middle and high schools in Central Virginia, but has since expanded its offerings and its reach, marking its growth with the establishment of a second location in Roanoke in 2022.
As a partner of Music & Arts, Hill City Music provides competitive pricing on high-quality, name-brand band and orchestra instruments for rent. Additionally, their commitment to education is evident not only through the music lessons they offer but also through their engagement with the local community, including instrumental and voice lessons designed to empower customers to enhance their musical skills.
Hill City Music’s success is reflected in their collaboration with over 70 middle and high school band and orchestra programs and major universities, including Virginia Tech and the University of Virginia. The store continues to grow and innovate to ensure that they meet the needs of musicians at every level while promoting a sustainable and supportive music community in Central and Southwest Virginia.
