Curbside pickup, shipping, and piano/keyboard delivery is available at all stores. Please call your preferred store to schedule a time to pick up.

In addition to our regular stores, our online store is available to serve your needs.

Dear valued Tom Lee Music customers and students,

It is no secret that COVID-19 has had a dramatic impact in Canada and around the world. As a retailer business, Tom Lee Music is making every effort to keep our employees and customers safe through enhanced precautionary measures in accordance with guidelines provided by all levels of government and the World Health Organization (WHO).

Our retail stores will remain open unless there is a mandate to suspend retail operations. However, we will continue to monitor the situation for guidance from every level of government.

We request all customers to sanitize their hands using our hand sanitizer upon entry to our stores.

Tom Lee Music Academy has postponed all our music group lessons to enhance social distancing. Private music lessons will continue to be offered.
