Guitars for Sale | Did you know that we have refurbished acoustic, electric, and bass guitars for sale? These guitars have all gone through quality control checks, have accompanying amps and gig bags, and are ready for your student! Prices are better than Guitar Center and Amazon! If you’d like to check out one of these guitars, check out the wall in our big lobby or connect with Mr. Jake and he’ll give you a personalized tour to make sure your student gets the right instrument!

Voice Syllabus | We are in the process of launching our new voice Syllabus program! This will allow voice students to pursue beginning level foundational skills and technique (through the Full Voice Curriculum) and then move into the Classical or Musical Theatre Voice Syllabus (including festivals, master classes, exams, and additional performance opportunities through EMS), or into a Singer/Songwriter track. More info coming soon!

New Database | We have been with My Music Staff for almost 10 years, but they function best for schools up to 200 students and we have 400! We are migrating to Fons, which can accommodate larger schools, has a great user interface, better app usage, and lots of great, easy to use features. The only thing you’ll need to do is link your payment option through Stripe, but we’ll keep you posted on timing! More information coming soon!
