Meet Al Stephens

Al Stephens
Owner | Moore Music Company

Owner of Moore Music Company since February 27, 2017. Prior to the purchase, I was Vice President, National Account Sales for CUNA Mutual Insurance Group for 28 years. I also held the position of National Sales Rep for Palmetto Cooperative Services for 5 years. Having “retired” from sales, I wasn’t ready to settle down and looked for a new adventure which was the purchase of Moore Music Company. I have been involved in music my entire life studying piano for 20+ years and receiving a BFA in Oboe Performance. For the past several years I have been active in the local musical theater scene as Music Director for a number of productions including Les Miserable, Ragtime, Chicago, and CTG’s Wizard of Oz to name a few. Married to Patti for 4o years, we have two daughters and 3 grandchildren.

Located in downtown Greensboro, it is the largest and oldest locally owned full-service music store in central NC. Moore Music Company offers a complete line of orchestral and band instruments for lease and sale along with instrument accessories. It also sells digital pianos/keyboards, guitars, music gifts and the largest selection of print music in the area. Over 230 students take lessons at the Moore Music Performing Arts Center each week. The full-service repair shop provides professional repair services for musicians in a three-state area.
“Our mission at Moore Music Company is simple – grow music in our communities through music education as well as support the arts community. We believe music is FUNdaMENTAL to our lives. The benefits of learning to play music are many and cross over to every aspect of our lives. We work every day to help those wanting to play music do so. We are thankful for the wonderful support the community has given our store for 80 years”
From ArtsGreensboro:
“Moore Music, locally owned by Al and Patti Stephens has been a landmark in the music community for 80 years.  They are known for their generous contributions to music education such as sponsorship of the Greensboro Symphony Youth Orchestra and Guilford County Schools’ beginning strings program.  In addition, they have supported Carolina Theater, Greensboro Symphony Orchestra and the Piedmont Triad Jazz orchestra, among others.”
