Trexlertown Music School Robbed

The Lesson Center, a music school with studios in Coopersburg and Bethlehem, reported on its Facebook page that it’s newsest studio in Trexlertown, 7609 Kuhns Dr., was robbed Sept. 15 “of every conceivable and movable item in the building.”

The incident was reported to police and a case was opened, according to .

"It's really the students that are impacted the most," said Lori Roberts, one of the owners of TLC. "Insurance can help get back the lost equipment, but we can't recoop the time lost in lessons for students or the teachers who depend on the income."

TLC has 30 instructors at its locations in Bethlehem and Coopersburg. Roberts said the business has 350 students ranging in age from 3 to 72. They teach everything from popular instruments, such as the guitar and piano, to the accordian.

TLC in Trexlertown had not even opened yet when it ws robbed. It's scheduled opening was Oct. 17, Roberts said, but now they hope it will be ready by the first week in November.

“Thieves helped themselves to everything from saws, hammers and painting equipment to amplifiers, drum kits, and sound mixers, Robert said. "They went so far as to take every last screw, nail and bolt.”

Because music equipment can fetch a lot of money if sold, TLC has created a spreadsheet of what musical equipment was reported taken.

Roberts asks that if you spot any of these items for sale, to call the police at 610-437-5252 or TLC at 610-868-1617.

"It was a blow, for sure," Roberts said. "But we've had great community support, and we'll be ready soon for our Trexlertown students."
