History
Early years
Musician Sam Ash, born Shmuel Ashkynasye, and his wife Rose, whose families had emigrated from Eastern Europe to New York City, New York when they were children, opened what would become the first Sam Ash Music Store in 1924 as a way to transform Sam's work as a violin teacher and gigging musician in the Sam Ash Orchestra into steady income. Over the next ten years Sam and Rose had three children, Jerome (Jerry), Paul, and Marcia, who all took an active role in the family business.[4][5]
