We are all about to go on a journey into everything about music in Perth which is obviously a broad subject but we will do our best to share as much info as quickly as we can.
Diving head first into the best musical instrument stores in your area seems like a logical place to start. We will even include different lists for where to buy guitars and the top drum shops in town and while some may quibble about which store should go in which list you will get the info you need either way.

Where to get a broken instrument repaired will follow that up. There are many repair companies that can tune a piano, repair a guitar, or work on all varieties of band instruments.
Once all the instrument talk is out of the way we will pivot to local music classes and lessons for kids or adults before moving on to stores for music lovers that sell vintage CD’s and records. You can find numerous places to enjoy live entertainment at the best concert halls and music venues near you.
Bars and restaurants with live music will get a shout out as well. A discussion about the Perth music calendar wouldn’t be complete without mentioning some great festivals and events either.
