The Cellist's Guide to Scales and Arpeggios

"This is a FANTASTIC guide for any cellist, and cowritten by our very own UA Professor Theodore Buchholz! This brand new book has interesting exercises, purposeful etudes, and great description and insight. This is a resource I'll be asking all of my students to purchase for sure. What a great way to support our local music community AND keep your technique in top notch shape."

PF Series Ibanez Acoustic/Electric Bass

Earaser Ear Plugs


"Want to protect your hearing without completely muffling sound? The Earasers are a great choice of earplugs that have gotten me through years of drumline, teaching, live concerts, and other noisy activities. They’re portable and so comfortable that I often keep them in for too long on accident!"

Spiffy Kits

High Spirits Native Flutes

"IMC has started carrying High Spirits Native Flutes again! These are made here in Arizona and have been a popular item over the years. On my healing journeys, I've met so many who play native flutes... more than once players have exclaimed that IMC was the place that they first discovered the joy of playing! Each flute comes with a free instruction book to get you going. Starting at only $59 for a pocket flute... these are a fun addition to your musical world."

Cello Display Cradle

Robot Dinosaur Guitar Strap


"This epic robot dinosaur guitar strap will bring your style to another level. Shredding on the guitar is only half the battle, looking good while doing it is what makes the difference."

Lock-It Strap

Yamaha Soprano Recorders


"Recorders are excellent for learning all the basics of playing an instrument. I recommend these Yamaha recorders to my students because they work great. Having an instrument that works well makes learning easier. They also come in fun colors!"
