World's happiest music school.
We make learning music fun and engaging. Our teachers are the best in the business and we’re always looking for new ways to teach kids about music.
Our Approach to Music Education
We sat down to talk with several of Portland's favorite news stations and morning shows. Learn more about who we are, our approach, and what makes us unique as we discuss music education with our friends in the media.
Lessons We Offer
Every student is different, so music lessons are personalized to each student. We focus on teaching the fundamentals and proper technique, but we also find the music you want to play. Like popular favorites from movies and video games, as well as versions of your favorite songs!
