Discover connections between people, instruments and the music we make.
The Museum of Making Music explores the multifaceted history of the American music products industry from its beginnings in the 1890s to today and presents a variety of events, educational programs and special exhibitions. It explores the connections between the people (those who envision, design, make, distribute, sell and play musical instruments), the instruments themselves and the ultimate result of the music we all make.

Saturday's Prebys Performance Series concert was a mesmerizing musical escapade featuring the brilliance of Karl Denson and his band of amazing and talented artists!
🎹 SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17 @ 7 PM - Imagine a piano keyboard that has no beginning, middle, or end! Did you picture a long row of keys stretching beyond the horizon, or something else?
Join Lady Gaga's touring keyboardist Brockett Parsons and special guest Danny Asadi as they present a concert and conversation that showcases the unique abilities of the PianoArc, a circular keyboard that surrounds the artist and provides nearly limitless performance possibilities!
We are mourning the passing of gifted musician and brilliant innovator Don Lewis.
From an early age, Don dreamed of conducting an orchestra with its huge range of sounds and nearly limitless combinations. He learned to play the organ through his church, while at the same time learning about electronics and engineering at school. His love for engineering led him to train as a nuclear weapons specialist in the U.S. Air Force and a job at Honeywell, after which he worked for a Hammond Organ Company dealer.
Don remained driven by his dream of conducting an orchestra and felt that even cutting-edge instruments couldn’t create the music he wanted to play. He began experimenting with modifying commercial rhythm units like the Ace Tone FR-2L Rhythm Ace and exploring ways to integrate more instruments into his performance setup. Ikutaro Kakehashi, the inventor of the FR-2L, experienced Don’s work in action in 1969, and the two became lifelong friends. In 1972, Kakehashi founded Roland Corporation and Don was frequently consulted for the development of new products, including Roland’s CR-78 and now-iconic TR-808.
Don continued to experiment and pursue his dream. His work led to LEO, the Live Electronic Orchestra. This incredible instrument combines four Oberheim Synthesizer Expander Modules, two ARP 2600s, a Roland Jupiter, a FR-7L Rhythm Ace (later replaced by a Roland TR-808), and more, all controlled by a console built with components from Hammond Concorde and X-66 organs, an ARP Pro Soloist, a Pascetta polyphonic keyboard, and a custom expression pedal controlling eight separate audio tracks.
Kakehashi saw Don performing with LEO in 1979 and was blown away by Don’s musicianship, his engineering prowess, and the incredible obstacles he’d overcome to make LEO’s components work together. Kakehashi knew that there had to be a better way to connect these instruments together and, in 1981, he began reaching out to industry leaders, notably Dave Smith of Sequential Circuits, to discuss an industry-wide standard that would eventually become MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface.
In 2001, LEO found a home at the NAMM Museum of Making Music. Don would occasionally visit for regular LEO “check-ups” that would evolve into storytelling sessions and impromptu musical performances for volunteers, guests, and school groups. Don’s warmth and radiant positivity made each experience memorable. We’re honored to be able to share his legacy with everyone who passes through our doors.

What good is music for the world?
Music can be an incredible force for good in the world. It can propel social movements, change political processes, grab our collective attention, and even just make us feel better and closer to each other. How else can music be good for the world?
If you could write (or draw!) your thoughts on how thoughts on how music can do good in the world, what would you share?
🎶 How does one revolutionize the accordion? Find out on Thursday, July 28 at the Museum of Making Music with world champion accordionist Cory "CPez" Pesaturo. Order tickets online: https://bit.ly/cpez-07-28-22 —
Cory is fluent in improvisational and traditional styles on acoustic and digital accordion, and has been pushing the performance envelope on what is possible on the instrument.
What good is music for us?
Music is good for us in myriad ways. One of its most potent abilities is connecting us. No matter how we participate in music, and no matter who we’re participating with, music can connect us with an endless array of activities, feelings, places, times, and more! What does music connect you with?
If you could tie a string that connects you with someone (friends, family, or others) through playing or listening to music, where would your path lead? How would it connect you? Through your community, health, faith, heritage, or something else?
We had so much fun this past Sunday with our very own "Grammie" Jane at Musical Story Time!
We're always grateful when families share their experiences playing on the hands-on instruments! I wonder which was their favorite instrument to play?
We were treated to an impromptu organ jam by Dukes, an amazing San Diego musician! We're so lucky to be part of this community of talented and passionate musicians, and we love being able to provide a space where artists can share their music.
What good is music for ME?
Music can do good in your daily life. No matter how you participate in music making—listening to it, playing it, writing it, and more—it might help you wake up, fall asleep, get excited, or calm down. Maybe you move with it, feel with it, learn with it, or speak with it. There are countless ways for music to be good for you! What good does music do in your life?
Consider how YOU use music. Is it to relax, study, dance, release, connect, or play? If you could place a ball into one of these buckets, where would it land?
We encourage you to discover an art exhibition, "A Product of My Environment," by local artist !
