I took lessons there from the owner, Mr. Bruce. He was on Central Street at the former location of Thall's Remedies. I got my first electric there, a Kent two pickup in red. He tried to convince me to buy a Harmony Jazz archtop, but I had no appetite for any hollowbody guitar back then. Academy of Music! I took lessons there from the owner, Mr. Bruce.

The Academy of Music was a storefront music school/music store in a bad section of downtown notorious for overpriced import instruments. Not only did the Wiggin sisters perform at the Fremont (NH) town hall but also had a weekly gig at Carol's Restaurant in Epping, NH. I regret that I never took the time to see them perform live as I only lived a couple of towns away.
