About Us
1) One Heart at a Time Promise ™
We recognize each student’s heart is tender and to be treated gently regardless of age. We will grow each student’s musical abilities, excite a student’s passion for music, and nurture in each student a lasting love of music. We will focus on each student for every minute of every lesson. We will listen and pay attention to the individual needs of each student. We will customize lesson plans to suit students and modify and think outside the box to deliver engaging music lessons for the duration of their studies! We have been delivering on this promise for over 40 years!
2) Superb Teachers
Our Academy music teachers have BM, BME, BA, MM, MA, and DMA degrees and have studied at the Ohio State University, Julliard School of Music, College Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati, Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, the Cleveland Institute of Music, Conservatory of Music at Capital University, Carnegie Mellon University, Miami University, Conservatory of Music at Lawrence University, and others.
