Harmonics Music Ltd is an independently owned musical instrument retailer and music school located in the northern suburb of Liverpool (UK), Waterloo, L22 4QD.

It was established in 2010 in the wake of the UK's 'Great Recessin' by young entrepreneur, Andy Frampton, who grew up in the area and who has been the sole director and shareholder in the business since its formation in 2010. At 21, Andy Frampton was the youngest director of a musical instrument company in the United Kingdom.

The business was launched in 2010 with special appearances on the opening night from celebrity guests including Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, formerly of Oasis as well as other notable performers. http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/local-news/new-music-shop-opens-crosby-6967408

From 2011, Harmonics Music was asked to step in for the council and run the music department of the largest state school in the town; Sacred Heart Catholic College, Crosby (formerly Seafield Convent Grammar School) whose alumni include Cherie Blair. By 2015 the music department is reported to have grown from less than 20 active students to over 150 under the modernisation and management of Harmonics Music. Notable events for the scheme include appearing on BBC Radio Merseyside in November 2014 in support of children in need, when their ensemble performed a rendition of 'God only knows,' by the Beach Boys, which was the 'signature song' for the BBC CIN 2014 campaign. http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/children-need-2014-merseyside-region-8115868

Harmonics contributions to local causes have extended to the music departments of other local schools as well, including St. Mary's Catholic College, Crosby, whose annual summer event, 'Proms in the Park' has been sponsored by Harmonics Music since it began in 2012.

Harmonics Music continues to trade as an 'indie' (independent) shop, which are often preferred by UK musicians and performers to larger chain stores for their more personal approach to supporting the arts.
