The Academy has a proven track record of offering quality Piano, Guitar, Voice, Flute, Clarinet, Sax, Trumpet, Trombone, Baritone, Tuba, Violin, Viola, Cello, String Bass, Electric Bass, Drums lessons in Columbia year-round. Our full-time mission is teaching music lessons.

5. A comfortable parent's lounge for our clients.‍

With over 2,000 square feet we have the most spacious and parent friendly waiting area in Columbia.

Instead of waiting in a music retail store showroom, our clients enjoy a spacious, professional parent’s lounge with comfortable chairs, kids toys, Wi-Fi, magazines and bottled water service. We also provide large observation windows on every door so that you can watch your child’s lesson while you wait. Or if you prefer you can sit in on their lesson anytime you like.

6. Free music recitals and student showcases with NO participation fees!

We are one of the only music school in Columbia that offers free recitals.

Every parent just wants to know how their child is doing and if they are really progressing. The best way for a parent to understand if their investment in lessons is really worth it, is to have their child participate in a recital.

7. Professional office staff seven days a week to serve you.

We are the only music school in Columbia that offers full time professional customer service for their students seven days a week.

Many music studio desks are staffed by salespeople, or more commonly – an answering machine. We have office team members who are available at the front desk to assist our clients quickly and professionally.

8. Trophies, certificates and award wristbands to celebrate achievement.

We are the only music school in the state of Maryland that gives their students the opportunity to earn special color wristband bracelets (kids and teens love them!), trophies AND certificates for passing musical tests. Do other schools offer trophies and certificates? A few. But none of them inspire their students with smiling faces (see pictures to the right) 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. We also specialize in music lessons for adults.
