6. Fully stocked music lesson rooms

Our rooms are stocked with everything you need for music lessons, including amps, stereos, electronic drum kits with pads, keyboards, pianos, LED tv screens for visual lesson programs and more.

All you need to bring is your instrument. We have spent thousands of dollars on our studio to offer the best in providing a great lesson experience.

Technology is also a big part of lessons at the Music Academy and we have installed LED monitors in every classroom.  The monitors have cables that can attach to iPods, iPads, or laptops. This allows students to have a modern and engaging lesson using music teaching apps, music software, Skype, and more. Feel free to "Bring Your Own Device" to your lesson in addition to your instrument! No other school in Lafayette offers this technology.

One of the things that has really set up apart is our focus on providing lessons that are fresh, new, and engaging.  There are so many great teaching apps out there now that we felt we had to update our teaching rooms with LED monitors. By doing so, our students have never run the risk of being bored by their lessons.  

It's a challenge to engage children or adults, but by integrating technology such as teaching apps from the iTunes store, GarageBand, ProTools, you name it, we're providing a cutting edge lesson experience in the Lafayette area.

Parents never have to pay admission or any related fees for these recitals.

We also host a rock band showcase several times a year, which gives you or your child the opportunity to play with a live rock band!
