Award-winning School of Music.  If you're looking for music lessons in Northeast Ohio, then you have come to the right place. Since established in 2004, the school has taught over 5,000 music students from preschool through adult.

Dedicated to providing the highest quality of music instruction with fun and friendly teachers since 2004. Some of our students have started careers in music, others have won scholarships, but most importantly they have discovered the love, creativity, beauty, and wonder that only music can inspire.

All Ages and Skill Levels.  From preschool ages to retired adults, our methods are tailored for different ages and levels so music is fun and rewarding.

Teaching Piano, Guitar, Voice, Violin, Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone, Drums, Ukulele, Trumpet, Brass, and More.  With many instruments to choose from, students can learn the instrument or voice they desire from ages 2 and up.

University-trained Teachers in Their Instrument.  We have a highly qualified faculty of over 35 teachers from the U.S.A. and other parts of the world with bachelors, masters, doctorates, and other postgraduate degrees. Several have won awards and placed in international competitions. With many years of teaching experience, they provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to enjoy music for a lifetime. Not everyone starts a career, but everyone receives what they need to pursue one. Above all, the most important goal for everyone is to enjoy making music.

Building a Foundation for Success.  Students receive our foundation for learning which helps them enjoy and succeed in music, whether beginning, intermediate, or advanced, making learning fun and rewarding.

Saving Time for Family and Friends.  We have music lessons at a variety of times so families can book lessons for different children at the same time to save you hours of driving and waiting time.  With 3 locations to choose from, we are just minutes away.

Catering to the Individual Needs of Students.  Our teachers are friendly and work with each student (or parent) to create a lesson plan that fits their unique needs and favorite music.  They understand the needs of new students as well as advanced and cater to their way of learning.

Parents always welcome.  Especially for young students, parents are welcomed and encouraged to attend lessons as teachers will often provide a parent with ways to help at home.

Rewards!  We provide these to students for a job well done and reaching milestones.  These rewards encourage our students but the most important reward is found in the joy of playing or singing.

One-on-one Lessons.  Students have the undivided attention of their teacher in order to make their best progress.

Recitals and Other Performing Opportunities.  Free, low-pressure performing opportunities are offered to students.  They provide motivational, tangible goals in addition to lessons.

Make-up Lessons.  We provide make up lessons with your teacher.  These are not group music classes with different teachers in place of a missed lesson.

In-Person or Virtual or Both.  Students can choose from in-person or virtual lessons or a combination. Our remote program is developed with some preferring virtual over private (secure custom video system - not Zoom or Skype). Students can try one lesson virtually for free before committing to monthly lessons.

Theory and Group Music Classes.  Optional classes for additional learning with others.

Providing From the Start What Many Learn In College.  Even our young beginners are learning what students often only learn in college.  With our Foundation, students progress fast and enjoy music more.

Directed by Professional Board of Musicians.  To ensure proper learning, the School of Music is run by more than one individual.  Since 2004, the school has been run by a board of musicians to ensure the quality of teaching of each instrument so students progress at their best and enjoy music.

Morning Times for Home Schoolers.  For your convenience, we have early times available.

Public School Recommended.  “I highly recommend The School of Music's outstanding staff..." - Director Doug Day, Bay Village High School (more testimonials)

*If a make-up lesson is needed, these are offered at flexible times for you.  They are not a group class of other instruments at a pre-set time with another teacher, which can impede progress.  Make-up lessons are private one-on-one lessons with your teacher.

How to Start Right and Avoid Future Struggles

The answer is to begin with the right music Foundation.  About 85% of music students who come to us are struggling, and often not enjoying music.  Then old habits have to be replaced with new ones so that they can get on track.

Like a house, if there are cracks in the foundation, problems will likely surface in the future.  We ensure every student receives what they need from the start so they can improve faster and have fun making music for years to come.  Learn in 2 years what others take to learn in 3 or 4, or not at all.

International Standards with our Successful Learning Method that Produce Results and Accelerated Progress 

Since 2004, our music Foundation comes from some of the most prestigious universities and conservatories of music in the world along with our successful teaching system which no other school enjoys. At our school, each student benefits from our approach learning at his or her own pace.

Understanding Students

Learning music requires a good teacher-student relationship.  Our teachers are selected for the gift of working well with children, being a good role model, and understanding how they learn. This, too, helps give them the best experience they can have in learning music.

Many adults take lessons with us and teachers have a special approach and curriculum designed for them and their interests.

With multiple locations, our goal is to bring high quality music programs to your neighborhood.  Most of our families come from local suburbs including Avon, Avon Lake, Westlake, Bay Village, Rocky River, North Ridgeville, Sheffield, North Olmsted, and more.

If you have been playing for a while and are having challenges, we specialize in helping students succeed.   Click here for more information.
