Music Together, Music Makers, Piano, Guitar, Voice, Glee Choirs, Trumpet and Flute All in One Convenient Location
The opportunity to attend a kids music class or take lessons on more than one instrument saves our students time and money. Families can schedule more than one lesson or music class on the same day. Along with our outstanding Music Together program and Music Makers classes, we offer instruction on the most popular instruments - electric and acoustic guitar, voice, and piano.
Our location one mile east of I-96 on 28th St in Grand Rapids, Michigan makes our school convenient to all areas of the greater Grand Rapids community. Near our studio, you will find the lovely Cascade shopping district which includes D & W grocery, banks, a library, and many excellent family dining opportunities.

A Comfortable Waiting Lounge for Parents and Siblings
Instead of waiting in a music retail store showroom, our clients enjoy a spacious, professional waiting room with comfortable chairs, toys for children, Wi-Fi, and reading material. We also provide observation windows on every door so that you have the option of observing your child's lesson. If you prefer, you may sit in on their lesson at any time.
