Every student receives a personalized Music Journal for assignment sheets, sheet music, and more!
As students progress in learning their instrument, they may be invited to join an Academy Band! This builds further skills along with friendships and community. It's also a lot of FUN!
Connect with other students and their families, share progress, collect achievements and post photos from Academy events! This is also a great way to stay on top of what is happening at the Academy!
As students learn pieces, they progress through the levels of our Repertoire Challenge, film their own music video in a professional studio and earn awards!
This laid-back, family-fun recital is held at a local park each summer. It's a great way to try out performing without the pressure of a big stage!
The Academy's Premier event—the Winter Gala—is hosted every year at the glamorous Fox Theater in downtown Spokane. This formal recital is an elevated performance experience for students of all ages and their families. So dress up in your best and invite your friends and family!
