About Us
In 1938, Paul Beckerdite opened a five and dime store in Marshfield , MO on the west side of the square. He played tenor saxophone in several dance bands and offered a few musical instruments in his first store.
In 1969, Paul built Beckerdite Music Company on the northeast corner of the square in Marshfield. This store eventually serviced the local high school bands and many surrounding schools. Paul will always be remembered for his gentle demeanor, generosity to customers, his dedication to music education, and love of music.
In 1983, Susan and Hoover Case purchased Beckerdite Music from Paul Beckerdite. Prior to purchasing the store, Susan was the band and choral director at Niangua. Susan Case was devoted to keeping music in the Marshfield community and surrounding areas.
In 2008, Vicky Hanman Warren purchased Beckerdite Music. Vicky is a graduate of Marshfield High School and attended Missouri State University. Vicky takes pride in continuing Mr. Beckerdite's musical legacy.
With a combination of over 100 years of musical experience, the staff at Beckerdite's is devoted to providing its patrons with the utmost amount of customer service. We hope to enhance any musician's passion for music, whether it be a beginning band student or an advanced musician.
