Diane Bibaud started DIANORGUES THE ROCK SHOPPE on January 1987.  It started as a dream.  Having a degree in classical piano from McGill University and experience in the retailling business, she decided to star her own music store to share and teach her passion with others.

In 1986, Diane started to teach organ, keyboard and piano at pupils houses.  But she got so busy that she had to hire another teacher and open an outlet in Ste-Catherine (South Shore of Montreal).So she openned a 650 square feet store and music school. In 1989, she bought the whole building and expanded to 1750 square feet showroom and more classes.She also added guitar and drum lessons with more teachers.

In 1992, Diane decided to add a second floor to the building for more instruments displays.  She also added a service department for several repairs.

Today, continously growing, DIANORGUES THE ROCK SHOPPPE works with fifteen teachers, technicians, stringed instruments maker and products specialists.  Around three hundred to five hundred students come to the store for several music lessons including guitar, singning, keyboard, basse, piano, violin and digital recording.  The students are from beginners to very advanced students.  We can also prepared the students for GEGEP, or to pass the exams at the Conservatory or McGill University.
