Best Buy music student gets surprise visit from the band Theory...
Best Buy is making musical dreams come true in many ways. First with their huge selection of instruments available anywhere in Canada online and in store. Then there are the 6 Best Buy stores that offer guitar, piano and drum lessons.

My francophone counterpart, Marc-Andre and I walked dozens of kilometers over the past four days.
