Our students save time and money, as one family can take multiple instruments on the same day. Other studios offer multiple instruments, but we are the only one to offer all of the most popular instruments – Piano, Guitar, Drums, Voice, and Violin – in a high quality, convenient, professional environment. Bass Guitar, Ukulele, Mandolin, and Cello lessons are also available. We teach music lessons to all ages (including adults) and all ability levels (beginner to advanced).
Our music teachers are experienced teachers, dedicated to learning about your personal goals and helping you to achieve them. With several teachers for each instrument (guitar, piano, strings, drums, and voice), we are confident that we have the right teacher to meet your music lesson needs. Academy of Music teachers are friendly and dedicated to teaching you the style of music that you want to learn in your music lessons.
As a mother of five and music teacher with a master’s degree in music education and more than 30 years of experience teaching music, I understand what parents need to know about helping their children experience real success in music.
Since 2003, I have dedicated myself to offering an outstanding music education experience for students in the Grand Rapids community. What began as an early childhood music and piano studio is now the largest professional music school in the area, offering lessons on five major instruments – piano, guitar, drums, voice, and strings. I’m most grateful for our fabulous teachers and hundreds of students in such a supportive community who trust us each week with their music education.
