I’ve tried a variety of local classes and camps over the last few years for my two kids who are interested in almost everything. Many do a good job of exposing kids to an activity and making it fun, but rarely are they set up to teach kids the fundamentals of the activity in a deep and lasting way. Orpheus Academy stands out for the amount of thought and work the teachers and owners put into teaching kids real musical skills for a lifetime. The classes are all taught by highly educated, experienced, passionate, and caring teachers, not delegated to college or high school students. Teachers see parents as partners and their communication is excellent. I’ve found Orpheus to be an inclusive place where teachers believe in the potential of all their students. They recognize that people learn differently and at different paces. At points when my kids have gotten stuck in their learning, Orpheus teachers have always known how to help them work through the challenge. When my kids have had successes, their teachers have quickly noticed and celebrated them. While my kids are certainly learning to play their instruments (piano and guitar), the benefits of Orpheus are bigger than learning instruments. They are also learning to how to prepare and deliver a performance in front of an audience, to collaborate creatively with other kids and with each other, to compose their own music, and to set and achieve big goals. They’re learning that they can use music to help process their feelings and express themselves both in performances and in the normal course of their daily lives.

I love the thoughtful, staged approach — and the fun, accessible challenges my teacher Klondike gives me. His love for the music —and for teaching —shines through in every guitar lesson!

My elementary aged child has been attending classes here for about 1.5 years. Their program is great, integrating individual music classes with fun music theory classes. The teachers are experienced and patient with young kids.

My son has been taking guitar lessons and theory class at the Orpheus Academy of Music for past 4 years and I can not recommend a better place to learn and appreciate music. The facility is clean and very well maintained. The staff is very friendly and exhibit a great amount of professionalism all the while keeping the learning fun and the pressure low-key. Above all, what keeps us at Orpheus are two things that I consider very important: One, the diversity and appreciation of all kinds of music that they teach and are open to teaching. Second, the various group performances held every month and the concerts that they hold which keeps my son motivated to learn and enjoy music, and at the same time work towards a goal. The participation in these are optional but it really helps set a goal.
