A Family Business

For over 50 years, the Castellano family has been providing musicians with exceptional service.  The business began in 1965 when "Mom & Pop" Castellano opened up Bath Music in Brooklyn, NY.  This store became a nexus for the community both musically and culturally.

Today, their son, John Castellano, is the owner and operator of Castellano's House of Music in Staten Island, NY where he provides the same level of personalized service that made his parents local legends. John and his daughter Nicole run the stores with the help of an incredibly talented group of teachers, repairmen and sales associates.

Our teachers are highly trained, working musicians.  Many of them have national and international touring experience.  Our teachers have gone on to work with artists like Guns N Roses, Blue Oyster Cult, Regina Spektor and Ingrid Michaelson,  We've also had guest instructors and clinicians from bands like Queen, Black Sabbath and Rainbow.

We offer lessons in a wide variety of instruments including:

• Guitar

• Bass

• Drums

• Piano

• Voice

• Strings

• Brass

• Woodwinds

• Songwriting

• And More...

One on one lessons are only half of the picture. In order to become truly proficient, you need real world experience performing live and interacting with other musicians.  We're proud to offer several programs that encourage ensemble performance. Through a partnership with Fenix Studios, we can provide pro-level recording facilities and rehearsal spaces.  As a student of Castellano's House of Music, you'll be able to participate in:
