St. Louis Music has experienced wonderful growth this year and has recently made new additions to its senior management team to help guide the company’s expansion. This month saw the first meeting with senior managers old and new in attendance, a group that draws upon industry veteran experience and major skill sets across sales, marketing, administration and IT. As well as expanding its team, SLM has increased its product offering. It has recently become a Sabian distributor, acquired Blessing Brass Instruments and Kiwi Wind Products, and launched Apollo Drums. Further investment also continues in its proprietary and exclusive brands such as Alvarez, Knilling, P. Mauriat, Dixon, Sigma & Austin.
