In 1899, Charles H. Willis founded a music business in downtown Cincinnati, focused on offering the highest value in quality products and services. This family-owned business grew steadily and began publishing piano methods and sheet music, fulfilling the needs of the teaching community.

In 1923, Willis Music combined with the G. Schirmer Company of New York, and Boston Music, under the general management of John J. Cranley. Cranley acquired more than 50% of Willis Music's stock, and bought the company fully in 1955. Willis Music became the world's leading publisher for teaching methods and solo pieces. Cranley’s son Edward, became President of Willis Music in 1965 and in 1990, Kevin Cranley succeeded his father as President of Willis Music. Kevin has led the Willis Music Company to continued success through hard work and a tradition of integrity.

Willis Music is proud to be the Premier Steinway & Sons Representation in the region- offering you Steinway's history of luxury, innovation, and quality with our tradition of integrity and 125+ years of excellence.
