With 4200 square feet at the Academy of Music, we have the most spacious and family-friendly waiting area in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Instead of waiting in a music retail store showroom or an in-home teacher’s driveway or living room, our clients a enjoy spacious, professional waiting areas with comfortable chairs, activities for children, Wi-Fi, reading material, a filtered water cooler, and free coffee.

We are one of the only music schools in Grand Rapids that offers free recitals with a Steinway grand piano in a first-class professional recital hall.

Every parent wants to know how their child is doing and whether they are progressing. The best way to understand if your investment in guitar, ukulele, bass, piano, voice, drums, violin, viola, or cello is really worth it, is to have your child participate in a recital.

Many of our students choose to perform in our recitals.   We hold these in a professional setting where students can perform on a stage platform with a grand piano and excellent acoustics.

For our students, these music recitals are free, and we do not charge recital participation or admission fees.

We are the only music school in the Grand Rapids area that gives students the opportunity to earn special color wristband bracelets (kids and teens love them!), certificates AND trophies for passing musical tests. Do other schools offer trophies and certificates? A few. But none of them inspire their students with smiling faces by giving them full color, really cool “Musical Ladder” wristbands that they can show off to their friends. The Musical Ladder is our unique method of music education that you can only get here.

More importantly, when our students have a test coming up, they practice more, their parents are proud, their teachers are proud, and everybody wins. You can only get the Musical Ladder here. Our adult students also the recognition for achieving their goals.
