Shreveport Music

Don Teach is the owner of Shreveport Music store, which was once run by his father. While his father guided the store it was mainly a Hammond dealer and became one of the first to offer Yamaha instruments. By the mid 1960s, he was asked to carry guitars for players who did not want to travel to Dallas for gear. As the store grew, Don came into the business and worked to keep the guitar and combo department strong, while continuing to offer top service to the store’s piano and organ customers. Don’s passion for musical instruments, especially piano and organ, has made him an expert on the companies and products they offered over the years.
