Music City Academy

Specialties

Music City Academy aims to provide quality, caring and inspiring music lessons to students to help them realize their music aspirations, so that we can hopefully grow with them.

Since the new management took over in late 2007, the front desk has been manned by a middle-​aged couple who work closely with parents and teachers to confirm scheduling/​make-​up of lessons and ensure the needs of students are met.

Twice a year, a student recital is held and students and teachers are invited to perform. There is no costs to the students and each participant receives a certificate and a souvenir for their participation. The 2010 spring recital was successfully held in April with support of some 60 students and teachers.

We also offer studio rental on hourly basis for practice, jamming and teaching purposes. Rental starts at $ 10 per hour depending on number of users and usage.

History

Established in 1991.

Music City Academy was first established in 1991 and several generations of students in the neighborhood and from other nearby locations had taken music lessons with it over the years. The new management took over in October, 2007 with the aim of providing quality, caring and inspiring music lessons to students and growing with them.

Music City Academy has a policy of charging students their tuition if they were absent without giving sufficient notice (24 hrs required). The need for the policy arises as we have instances where students and/​or their parents simply forget to come, or cannot come due to last minute changes in their activities or traffic conditions. As the teachers had already planned on coming to teach or have already traveled to come, and at times had to turn away other job opportunities in order to keep the students’ appointment, such a policy is necessary.
