The Sound of Music

John Rosborough has always immersed himself in music, particularly through his active involvement in his church, where he frequently performs in gospel groups renowned for their rich four-part harmonies. His upbringing, filled with a family love for movie musicals, directly inspired the name of his music retail store, The Sound of Music, which he opened in Kokomo, Indiana, in 1984. Over the decades, the store has flourished, cultivating strong relationships with suppliers of musical instruments, accessories, pro lighting, and pro audio gear, especially for their burgeoning installation business. John takes immense pride in working alongside his son, Andrew, who has inherited the family’s commitment to exceptional customer service and top-quality products, ensuring that The Sound of Music continues to resonate with its customers.
