Our goal is to make learning an enjoyable and rewarding experience that will last our students a lifetime. We are dedicated to offering the best music instruction possible. Our teachers are experienced professionals with impressive educational & performing backgrounds. Students of all ages and skill levels are welcome. It has long been known that studying music at an early age helps in brain development.

It's never too late to start, either! Many of our adult students are surprised to see how quickly they can begin to pick up an instrument, even with no prior musical training. Truly, all that matters is that you have a genuine interest in music, and that you have some time (even 15-20 minutes/day) to dedicate to practicing whichever instrument you choose.

Very dishonest administrative staff. If you are late by 1min in sending your email for a makeup lesson, they will charge you. Your kid will have multiple conflicts during the course of the tuition due to school activities, you being busy and not being able to notify them in time etc. But, this school is very stringent, once again "very" stringent with their policy. They don't care about you or your family from a personal standpoint regardless of how many months or years you have been with them. Because they just don't care. They have the pride that there is demand for them due to their wait list and not many schools nearby and they use that against you to grab your money for missed classes. DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL. I faced this issue with them innumerable times. Just find a private instructor online or elsewhere. There are many excellent tutors outside this school as well.

Both our sons took piano lessons at Reeder Music Academy and we were very happy with the teachers and the communication with staff and management. Now that we moved to a different state, we are hoping to find a school where they will enjoy their music lessons as much as they did at Reeder.

This is the best place ever for music. The teachers are friendly and I learned so many new things about my instruments. I was pushed above and beyond and they helped me make it into my High Schools advanced band even though I was a Freshman. I highly recommend this place.
