About

Welcome to The Music Rescue! We’re Peter & Laurie, owners of a small business with a big passion for music and a deep commitment to sustainability. Thirty-eight years ago, music brought us together and solidified our love for all things musical (as well as for each other). At The Music Rescue, we believe that every piece of music has a story, and every item we rescue—whether it’s a gently used CD, a vintage piece of sheet music, or a brand new score—deserves a chance to bring joy to someone’s life.

Our mission is simple: to rescue and recycle musical treasures, making them accessible to music lovers everywhere while helping reduce waste and protect our planet.

By giving previously loved items a second life, we provide an affordable way for you to access the music items you seek while building your personal music library, whether you’re a professional musician, educator, student, or music enthusiast. We’re here to make your musical journey as enriching and cost-effective as possible.

As a family-owned business, we take pride in offering personalized service and attention to detail. When you shop with The Music Rescue, you’re not just supporting a small business—you’re joining a family of music lovers who value quality, sustainability, and creativity.

We’re passionate about helping our customers find exactly what they need, including those hard-to-find or out-of-print gems that make a music collection truly unique. If there’s something specific you’re searching for, just let us know and we’ll do our best to track it down for you.

How is The Music Rescue protecting the planet? We’re proud to champion the reuse and recycling of musical materials. By choosing previously loved items, you’re not only saving money but also contributing to a more sustainable world. Every CD, book, and piece of sheet music we rescue and re-home is one less item in a landfill, one more note in the ongoing symphony of shared musical experiences. We also use as much recycled and recyclable shipping materials as possible, with a commitment to be using 100% green materials for packaging and shipping by 2026.

Thank you for taking the time to visit The Music Rescue. We’re excited to help you discover, build, and enjoy your music collection while making a positive impact on the environment and the world of music.

Let’s rescue music together!
