Would
YOU
like to have a BLAST learning
music you like?
Welcome
to the Wichita Music Academy
Last year, students of all ages in the Wichita Music Academy and its
affiliate (The Goofin' Around Keyboard Class) took more than 9000 music lessons.
We offer music lessons on almost every popular instrument.
Discover what hundreds of other students found: The 15 benefits of taking music
lessons at the Wichita Music Academy:
-
Piano, guitar, bass, drums, ukulele, violin, viola, cello, ukulele, woodwind (clarinet & sax),
brass (trumpet, trombone, baritone) & vocal (singing) lessons all in one location.
This
saves YOU time and money, as your family can take lessons on
multiple instruments on the
same day.
-
One of the most qualified teaching staffs in
Wichita.
Our
teachers are either
university-trained teachers or have professional performance
experience; most
have both.
They
are dedicated to
learning about your
musical goals and helping you achieve them.
They
want you to enjoy learning the
kind of music you
want to learn.
-
A wide range of lesson times.
With a
well-lit private entrance
separate from the store, lessons are available not only during
the daytime but on evenings and weekends as well.
As an
organization, we've been
teaching students to play since
1997. Every year, some
well-meaning home-based musician will start teaching a little bit "on
the side", and a year
or two later they've stopped. But
our "real" job is teaching
students to make music.
-
A comfortable waiting room.
You don't have to wait in a retail showroom or sit on someone's living room couch; we have a
nicely appointed waiting room with tables, comfortable chairs, magazines, free wi-fi and a bottled-water cooler.
-
Trophies, certificates and award wristbands to celebrate achievement.
We are the only music schools in Kansas 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 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.
-
A student discount card to Garten's Music.
We are the only music school in Kansas that offers Garten's Music discount cards for our students. This
saves them money all throughout the year.
Garten's sells music books, supplies and accessories. All of our current students receive a student
discount card that saves them money on all of their music supply needs.
-
Morning and lunch time lessons for home schoolers, retirees, college students and working professionals.
Since we are a full-service music school, we offer lessons as early as 9 a.m.,
and we see many students between the hours of 11 a.m.-2 p.m. If you are a home school parent, retiree, college student or working
professional who has a flexible schedule, take advantage of our morning and lunch time lesson spots.
-
A secure lesson environment.
All of
our studios have
observation windows in every door so you can watch your child's lesson
without disrupting the educational process. (Of course, you can sit in
on their lesson anytime you like.) All of our teachers have undergone four state and national background checks. We take our students' safety seriously.
-
NEW pianos & fully stocked lesson rooms.
No one finds it inspiring to play on an old clunker with keys not working. Lesson rooms with pianos get new instruments every year.
All lesson
rooms are equipped with
everything you need, including (if appropriate) amps, keyboards, pianos, and more.
(You will want to bring
your own instrument if you're not studying piano or voice.)
-
Free Student Showcase concerts.
Every
parent wants to know how their child is doing and if they are really
progressing. And every child deserves the opportunity to
perform in front of others. The best way for this to happen
is with one of our biannual
Student Showcase concerts. A far cry from the "recitals" of old, these
concerts are fun, optional, low-pressure and stress-free. And,
they are free. Unlike some music schools, we don't charge
admission fees for concert participation.
In conjunction with our concerts, we offer a free picture
day, using professional backdrops and lighting. This is a service
that you will love. Adult students are welcome too!
Students can bring their instruments to the photo shoot and wear
whatever they like
We also shoot video of our students' performances for the benefit of friends and family that cannot attend our concerts. (See link below.)
-
Professional office staff.
Many
studios are staffed only by
the teacher, or more commonly, their voice mail. We have
office staff who are available at the front desk to assist our clients.
-
Easy access from Kellogg (US54) or
I-235.
We are
conveniently located on Central in
West Wichita (map), but have easy access to all areas of the city.
Nearby, you'll find great shopping and dining opportunities,
including Towne West Square.
We don't
require semester minimums or long-term contracts; our students are welcome here on a month-to-month basis.
