Honoring a Century of Music Education, Community Support, and Growth
Dietze Music is proudly celebrating 100 years of serving Nebraska’s musicians, families, and educators. For a full century, our mission has stayed the same: to support every musician who walks through our doors with quality instruments, knowledgeable guidance, and a welcoming place to grow. As we honor this incredible milestone, we’re excited to reflect on a year of meaningful progress, including remodeled Lincoln stores and the opening of a brand-new Omaha location. These updates allow us to serve our communities more effectively and offer modern, spacious environments where musicians can feel inspired. To learn more about everything we offer, visit Dietze Music.
Our centennial year marks a moment of gratitude. We are deeply thankful for every student, parent, educator, and professional who has trusted Dietze Music for generations. This celebration is also a moment of forward momentum. Investing in our facilities, our staff, and the communities we serve ensures that we remain a reliable partner in music education and creativity for decades to come. As we move into the next 100 years, we are committed to upholding the same values that built our foundation while continuing to evolve with the needs of today’s musicians.
The Evolution of Dietze Music: A Century of Serving Nebraska
When Dietze Music first opened its doors in 1925, we were a small, community-focused store with a passion for helping local musicians. Today, we are honored to operate multiple locations across Omaha, Bellevue, and Lincoln — each one built on decades of trust, service, and commitment to music education. Reaching a 100-year milestone is rare in any industry, especially within specialty retail, and this achievement speaks to the strength of our customers, our communities, and the educators who rely on us.
Over the years, Dietze Music has expanded far beyond traditional instrument sales. We serve thousands of students each year through our rental programs, private lessons, instrument repairs, and carefully curated product selection. Our relationships with Nebraska schools remain one of the most meaningful aspects of our work. Music directors and educators depend on us for reliable equipment, timely service, and expert support — a responsibility we continue to take seriously. Many families begin their musical journey through school rentals, a program designed to make starting an instrument accessible and affordable.
In 2025, we completed major remodeling projects at both of our Lincoln locations. These updates give musicians more room to explore instruments, enjoy hands-on testing, and shop in a more modern, intuitive setting. To better serve the growing Omaha-area music community, we also opened a completely new Omaha location. This expanded footprint strengthens our ability to reach more families, support more music programs, and deliver the personalized service that defines Dietze Music. As we look toward the next century, we remain committed to investing in our stores, our team, and the musicians who make this community vibrant.

Elevating their voices in our 2025 promotions reflects our belief that genuine expertise and authentic care make all the difference when choosing a music store.
Highlighting our employees is also a celebration of trust.
