A Joyful Noise was founded on a shared passion for music and craftsmanship. Our journey began when David Marchlewski and his son Jacob built a custom bass together, sparking a vision to create a community-centered music store with a custom guitar shop. Over the years, we have grown to offer a comprehensive range of acoustic and electric guitars, basses, pianos, folk instruments, ukuleles, and string instruments. We specialize in band instrument rentals through our partnership with NEMC, providing teacher-approved instruments in new or like-new condition. Our repair services ensure instruments remain in optimal condition, while our private music lessons cater to students of all skill levels.Our instructors bring decades of combined experience in diverse musical styles, from classical to Celtic and southern rock. We prioritize personalized service, flexible payment plans, and educational support for parents. Our commitment to quality is reflected in our 100% guarantee on rentals and our dynamic exchange policy for stringed instruments. We believe music fosters connection and growth, and we strive to make learning accessible and joyful. Our store embodies the values of faith, family, and dedication to the craft, guided by the principle that music is a universal language of expression and community.

Joyful Noise Music store is a staple of Milton Florida. Dave has always treated his customers in a way that's more like family than just another customer. The excitement shown by Dave and his team when they get a new product is always contagious. Joyful noise also carries a wide variety of musical instruments, amps, sound equipment, and accessories. But it doesn't stop there they also work on a wide variety of instruments and for the last few years have been the only place to touch my guitars.
They are quick but also precise. Mark always is double-checking things to make sure what he is doing to your instrument is the best for you and your instrument. They never overcharge for something or try and do something that the instrument doesn't need. If your looking for a place with people you can trust to get you what you are looking for and at an amazing price look no further than joyful noise music.

I was in Milton from out of town and needed a couple items. I'm glad I stopped here! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. I needed a jumbo acoustic guitar case and they went out of their way to track one down for me and actually finding one in the back that worked. I used to work at a small music store and so I loved being in this place and supporting a shop that so obviously cares about their customers.
