Small Businesses, Big Heart

This Q&A with two of our local businesses will give you a taste of what they do—simple or otherwise—to make the season brighter.

The holiday season isn’t just about sales and celebrations — it’s about community, compassion, and giving back. Local businesses often lead the way, showing that generosity can be just as impactful as growth. We spoke with Chambers Music Studio and Moore Brothers Landscaping to learn what this special time of year means to them and how they’re using their businesses to make a difference.

This season is always one of reflection and gratitude. As our students prepare for winter recitals, we see their confidence, discipline, and joy in full bloom—and it reminds us why we do what we do. 

How does the spirit of giving influence your work this season?
The holidays bring a special focus on generosity and community. Whether it’s offering scholarships, hosting free community performances, or volunteering at local events, we aim to share the gift of music.

In what ways do you give back to the community this time of year?
We just completed a grant-funded project with Columbus Montessori Education Center and are in the process of starting a scholarship fund to give financial aid for any child who wants to learn music.
