Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church in Duluth, GA held their Spring Concert on May 23rd. It featured a Mason and Hamlin piano from Cooper Music that was played by Dr. Condoleezza Rice.

Cooper Piano recently helped Dusty fulfill his dream of owning a piano.  Cooper Piano was approached by the Make a Wish Foundation and asked to help Dusty pick out a piano of his choice.  Dusty is now the proud owner of a black Nordiska baby grand piano. 

For the Kids    2009 Toy Party

Cooper Music was thrilled to donate a piano for this wonderful event!  Smirnoff in on the act, put their logo on our beautiful red baby grand....Everyone loves this event!  Thousands of toys are donated to be distributed all over ATL and surrounding counties to Kids who would not normally have Christmas presents.    GREAT JOB!!

Where did we come up with the name "Liberty Theatre"?        

The first Cooper Brothers Piano was located in New Kensington, PA, and across the street sat Liberty Theatre.

Liberty Theatre hosted several famous events such as:  a "Gone With the Wind" premier.  Most of us in Atlanta remember it premiering at Loew's Grand Theatre.  After it left Loews Grand, it came to LIberty Theatre across from the store.  

John Phillips Sousa, who composed "Stars and Stripes Forever" played at the Liberty Theatre in 1929 and wrote a small note to John Cooper (Second Generation owner of Cooper Piano).    

As you can see, Liberty Theatre holds a special place in history to the Cooper Family and we want to always honor that memory by naming our recital hall.... Liberty Theatre. 

Please be sure to check out upcoming events at the Liberty Theatre.   

We were impressed by Cooper's professionalism.  Your delivery people were polite and efficient. We were happy with Jon Wunderlich as a tuner.  We had issues with the sutain pedal.  When Jon could not resolve the problem, Bill Schueneman did.  In today's "slip shod" business world--everyone from Cooper was a total professional.    A.

Dear Nila:

Gary Ingle joins me in thanking you and the staff at Cooper Piano for generously supplying pianos during the 2009 MTNA National Conference.  Without your support, our conference would not have been such a success.

It was a pleasure working with you and Larry.

Sincerely,

Brian P. Shepard, Deputy Executive Director & COO

Donna,

Our replacement lid for our Petrof was installed today and it looks terrific. Thanks to you and the people at Petrof for taking care of this. I know it was not trivial to get a lid manufactured at the factory in Europe, let alone in the midst of a changeover in distributors. So I really appreciate everyone's efforts.

Regards,

David Schmitt

Dear Blake,

Whatever would do without Cooper Music?  The pianos you provided helped make our festival a success.  Your piano movers showed such care with each piano-making sure that not even a fingerprint was left on!  Thank you so much for the very whorthwhile endeavor.  Sincerely, LaNelle Nash

ATLANTA - Julie Powell of Tucker, Ga., is the proud new owner of a Baldwin upright piano because she knows her car horns. That's right ... car horns.

She qualified for a contest - sponsored by Cooper Music Co. on National Public Radio station WABE 90.1 FM - to win the piano by correctly answering this question: What is the only piece of symphonic music to feature automobile horns? Of course, it is George Gershwin's An American in Paris.

After Julie qualified, her name was drawn from 500 entries by M. Blake Cooper, president of Cooper Music, during a 100th anniversary celebration at the 10,000-square-foot store at 1610 Northeast Expressway. Also on hand for the event was Nick Georgoff, Baldwin regional sales manager.

In addition to the cherry-finish Baldwin Decorator Series piano, Julie also will receive free piano lessons and an hour-long in-home piano concert.
"The lessons and concert are included with all piano sales," Blake says, "so we're including them with this piano, too."

According to Julie, who took piano lessons as a child, she never owned a piano but has wanted one for the past 20 years or so.

She is "thrilled" with her prize and confident that a few "refresher" lessons will have her playing again in no time.

However, this isn't the first time Julie is a prize winner. Two years ago, she won a Macy's gift certificate, which she used recently to purchase new home furnishings. "And now, I have this beautiful piano that looks perfect with my new curio cabinet and oriental carpet," she laughs.

Cooper Music, celebrating 100 years in business this year, is the exclusive Baldwin dealer in Georgia.

A fourth-generation, family owned music business, Cooper Music has been ... and continues to be ... a strong supporter of the arts community in and around Atlanta, Blake says. Because of that, the company has garnered honors for excellent community service, education and marketing from the Keyboard Insights Group, a national music research organization that recognizes the top U.S. music keyboard retailers.

The Baldwin piano contest was the first promotion presented by Cooper Music and WABE, but it won't be the last. In fact, Blake already seems poised for the next contest. "Quick," he smiles. "What was Mozart's favorite hobby?"
