Music City Academy

What We Do

 Founded in 1991 in the Sunset neighborhood of the city, Music City Academy provides music lessons and services by well qualified, experienced and caring  teachers. We believe that music instructions should be available to everyone. From hobbyists to advanced students, we encourage artistic awareness and stimulate individuals to practice and perform, in order to enrich the quality of life. Study of music contributes to coordination and self-discipline, and most importantly provides a life of enjoyment. 

We offer both one on one private as well as group lessons. One on one lessons may be for 30, 45 or 60 minutes. Group lessons are for 30 to 60 minutes with minimum of two students of matching schedule and levels. If there are insufficent number of students for group lessons at the time of enrollment, we will put the registrants on a waiting list.

Summer Programs

Piano/Keyboard

We offer both classical and modern piano lessons at all levels to students aged 4 and above. Students taking classical piano lessons are encouraged to participate in the internationally recognized Associated Board of Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) Examinations from London as they do offer a clear, structured framework against which students can measure their progress and achievements.
