As Parker’s only full-service music store, Allegro provides great opportunities for students of all ages, as well as offering customers excellent values on a large variety of musical instruments, accessories & services.

The 10 lesson studios provide private one on one instruction and include a fully equipped percussion studio. The 10 lesson studios keep very busy. Allegro has a total of 29 teachers who teach over 400 students a week. The teachers and students are a great asset to Allegro and provide the entire foundation of the store. Things were shaken up in 2017 here at Allegro Music! Rick Henson has taken over as the new owner of Parker’s only local music store! The Allegro family is excited to continue on our path to provide the best service to our customers with our new owner.

Rick Henson, Owner

Rick is a proud Colorado native with rhythm in his soul and music in his bones. He honed his craft at the University of Northern Colorado, studying percussion performance and diving headfirst into a dynamic career as both a music educator and a freelance musician. Though well-versed in all things percussion, Rick found his true passion in the vibrant, infectious sounds of the steel pan, making it his specialty and sharing its magic with audiences far and wide. But Rick’s love for music extends beyond performance—it’s about community. When he heard that Allegro Music, the store where he taught, was on the brink of closing, he couldn’t stand by and let it happen. With a mix of determination and just the right amount of charm, he convinced his wife, Megan, that they should buy the store and keep its legacy alive. Now, as the proud owner, Rick ensures that Allegro Music remains a hub for musicians of all ages, a place where creativity and passion can flourish. Beyond the world of music, Rick takes his walk with Jesus seriously, letting faith guide his journey in life, family, and business. He and Megan have also taken on one of the most challenging yet rewarding gigs of all—homeschooling their six incredible children. If Rick isn't teaching, performing, or running the store, he's probably playing pickleball.

Sean Geisthardt, Education Representative

I’ve been a part of Allegro Music for over 20 years—first as a guitar student and now as a team member for the past 16 years. This place holds a special spot in my heart, and I've had the privilege of watching it grow into what it is today. I'm incredibly proud and grateful to contribute to this community.

Building strong relationships with customers in our local area is my top priority. Allegro Music helped me grow both as a musician and as a person, so giving back to our community and students is what I enjoy most.

As a musician, I’m primarily a guitarist, beatboxer, and self-proclaimed mediocre drummer, though I like to experiment with other stringed instruments when I get the chance! Outside of music, I’m a huge video game enthusiast—spending much of my free time diving into different digital worlds and experiences.

Over the years, I’ve worked in every department here at the store, so I’m always happy to help however I can. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned musician, I’d love to see you at our local music store. It’s a fantastic place to grow as both a person and a musician. If you’re looking for a music shop to call home, we’ve got your back! ????
