All music majors take a group of basic musicianship classes including music theory, ear training, music history, and music technology, and piano specific lessons. You will also take private lessons with an applied instructor.

First, you will participate in a thriving music department, surrounded by a culturally and musically rich community. Next, you will have the opportunity to learn from some of the most notable musicians in the field. Third, our academy is intricately involved with music education across the U.S. Our students regularly participate in local, state-wide, and national clinics, conventions, and festivals. Our academy is also host to a number of workshops, contests, music enrichment programs, and other events in which music education educators are involved.

This is one of the advantages of taking your lessons at our school – we have 16 teachers so if a problem occurs – which is extremely rare – we can switch you over to one of the other teachers. If you think you may get more out of lessons from a teacher with a different teaching style, we have the flexibility to change you to another instructor.
