Ellen McDonald

Ellen McDonald is a passionate music retailer who has strived to create programs and events that encourage her community to take part in active music making. Hartland Music, located in Hartland, Wisconsin, just west of Milwaukee, is home to over 2000 weekly music students and has become the musical hub of the surrounding area. Ellen and her husband designed their current location to include teaching studios, a performance area, a separate piano room, large display areas, a music therapy center and even a coffee bar! The best part of Hartland music is the comfort level you feel when walking into the store and the friendly staff that greets you. It’s encouraging enough to make you want to pick up an instrument and make music!
