Here's how and why Bartell Music Academy is different!
My name is Patricia Bartell. I’m the owner of Bartell Music Academy
Over the last 20+ years, I’ve helped hundreds of students learn to play and most importantly develop a passion for playing music. I now oversee and hire only the best teachers for our students here at Bartell Music Academy.
At Bartell Music Academy, our teachers are trained to use a learning system I created called “The Bartell Music System.” This system allows our instructors to tailor their teaching curriculum to how a students brain processes information.
Here's What Your Child Can Expect at Bartell Music Academy
♦ Lessons by a certified teacher who loves teaching and inspiring their students. You know you’ll be getting the absolute best for your child.
♦ Tailored lessons to fit your child’s goals and interests.
♦ Develop good habits that will speed up the learning time.
♦ Have a great music learning experience that is fun and rewarding.
♦ Know exactly what to work on each week to improve.
♦ Music concepts that are specifically tailored to how your child processes information.
The Australian piano method (Simply Music) that our students absolutely love is what we use. It is similar to learning to speak before we read and write, allowing your child to play music first makes reading musical notation, improvisation and even composition a natural and integral part of their experience. They will learn to play first – then we add in rhythm and reading so they love music and are not overwhelmed with too much information.

“I appreciate Bartell Music Academy’s method of teaching for my son Emil. He loves to play and he always looks forward to his lessons. – Kasia Haroldsen
“I have found their program to be the perfect tool to teach my young granddaughters how to play and enjoy music in a relatively short period of time” – Deb Thrash
“Large-group school music programs left my girls feeling lost, and their enthusiasm for music faltered. Bartell Music Academy’s innovative approach jumped immediately into the joy of making beautiful music. This method created a foundation that has them feeling excited to practice, mastering increasingly challenging pieces with ease and performing with confidence. Though there are lessons available closer to our North Spokane home, we drive the extra miles every week to get there, because it’s worth it!” – Olivia Dugan
“My 16 year old daughter has loved taking lessons at Bartell Music Academy, and she has been a student here since the Academy first opened. I have seen her grow in all areas of musicianship and was so impressed by her enthusiasm and progress, that I am now taking lessons myself!” – Anne Cvancara
“I saw the results first in my granddaughter. She came out of her first lesson able to play a complete song! So did I!” – Pam McVay

Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT DO YOU LEARN IN YOUR MUSIC LESSONS?
That question is often asked by prospective students. Our teachers make it a priority to get to know you on a personal level and to become familiar with your personal musical needs and goals. We do not treat every student the same in terms of what and how we teach.
A seven-year-old having their first music lesson will have very different needs than a fifty-seven-year-old taking up lessons for the 2nd time after having had lessons as a child.
The main reason to choose Bartell Music Academy as your music lesson provider is that we are sensitive to the fact that every student is an individual.
If you enroll here for lessons, we will work with you to make a plan that will fit your needs and musical preferences. At the first lesson, your teacher will ask you about your favorite type of music and set goals to help accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for yourself or your child.
WHAT STYLE OF MUSIC DO YOU TEACH?
Our teachers teach a variety of styles including jazz, rock, blues, latin, concert band and other pop styles. We balance musicianship and fun by making sure that each lesson students are challenged with a new technical or theory concept, but always finish with something fun such as their favorite drum beats or song.
All our instructors help students reach their individual goals of what they want to play.
