The 16,000 square foot Luca Music Building in North Providence, Rhode Island was designed as a music showplace from the ground up by the Luca family. The Luca family has built an extensive full-line dealership known to thousands of New Englanders. The Luca Music facility is divided among pianos, keyboards, sound equipment, studios, and repair department.

As in the case with many musicians of this generation, John Luca got his start on the accordion, he began building an accordion clientele that numbered 20 students by the time he graduated from high school in 1956. He began to expand his music business horizons in 1960. John's mother, Mrs. Josephine Luca, built a new home and let John use a downstairs area for accordion classes. At this time John also began to sell a few accordions, sheet music and so forth. The place was only about 14'x14' with concrete walls, but it had a private entrance. "Luca was in the music business." As the business grew, John's family became involved in the business. John's sister and brother-in-law, Catherine and Joe Arruda worked full time. John's wife Judy, son Frank, daughter Justine, Cathrine's daughter Kristen along with Frank's wife Nancy are all involved with the business on a part time basis.

Diversification came quickly and by design to Luca Music. Accordion and paino lessons were soon joined by guitar teaching. Luca had in excess of 400 students during the guitar boom of the mid-late 1960's. Eventually Luca Music was to teach a wide variety of instruments and to sell and service an equally broad range of instruments and equipment. "My feeling has always been that a music merchant must be diversified."

By 1980 the family opened it's current facility which it had personally designed from the ground up. Through the years, Luca Music has changed with the times and is equipped to satisfy the musical needs of all it's customers.
