OUR STORY

History of Lake Music
Lake Music was founded in 1970 by Sid Smither. As a 3rd generation musician, he was set on a career of an opera singer. Unfortunately, a surgery that didn’t go well for him, closed that door. But instead of losing hope, Sid worked hard to open his own music store, Lake Music, and continued another 3rd generational tradition – music education.

Over the last 51 years, Lake Music has served as a hub for musical instruction and mentoring. So much so that Lake Music is now seeing the grandchildren of students who had learned music at Lake Music.

The sudden demise of Sid Smither in 2013 left the music store and the community he so much loved, behind. But rather than see Lake Music close, Sid’s son, Tim Smither, did everything possible to keep the music store alive. The pandemic further made Tim quarantine himself to understand the business and by June 2020, he left his job of 20 years to work at Lake Music full time.

Our Vision
To become a destination hub for music enthusiasts and inspire greater participation in musical arts at all levels. We ignite and inspire the pure joy, love, learning, and longing for music in all forms.
 
Our Mission
To provide high quality, creative, collaborative, and inspiring music learning experiences in Lake Oswego for musicians of any age, level, ability and interest.
