No, we accept students of all ages, interests, abilities, and backgrounds; from the absolute beginner looking for an introduction to music, to the professional seeking to hone his skills.

We teach students of all ages; from babies in our Early Childhood Program, through retired adults.

That’s fine.  Teachers will meet with you (and/or your parent) and individualize a course of study to meet your individual goals; whether you want to be able to play for your own pleasure, to entertain your friends and family, to play with a band, etc. The teacher is here to help you reach YOUR goals.

We offer lessons in a variety of styles including classical, jazz, rock, folk, bluegrass, gospel, and early childhood education.

Our exceptional faculty are as diverse as our programs, able to challenge advanced students; encourage the young beginner; and engage students with special needs. Trained in well-respected music schools, many hold advanced degrees and are in demand to adjudicate at state and regional competitions; also teach in colleges and universities; and are active recording artists, solo performers, and in professional performing groups.

We have a limited supply of instruments we rent to students for a nominal fee.  If we do not have an appropriate instrument available, we can direct you to a source for rental or purchase.

Our prices are listed here. Lesson cost varies depending on the length of the lesson and whether it is a private or class lesson. We have a payment plan, offer discounts for early payments and referrals, accept credit cards and checks, and have a limited Financial Aid Program (explained under Scholarship Policies).  We try to make it possible for anyone to study with us who has the desire.

We offer a package of four Introductory lessons, but usually recommend a full term of lessons to experience noticeable progress.

We offer placement assessments for a nominal fee, where you come to The Music Academy and meet with a teacher at a potential lesson time. You can talk over your wants and needs, and ask specific questions.

Then you may request another placement assessment (at the same nominal fee) with another potential teacher.

 No, you may begin lessons at any time, but must register for the remaining number of lessons in that term. Call (336) 379-8748 ext. 100, or email crachal@musicacademync.org. In your message, include your name and contact information and someone will get in touch with you right away.
