FROM THE DIRECTOR 
Whether you are a first time visitor or old friend, thank you for the opportunity to share some information about our music school.

The Academy of Music in Grand Rapids is a place where music and its inherent possibilities are offered to people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. We focus on music instruction and offer a convenient and professional environment in which students listen, learn, create, play and perform.
