Benefits to Becoming a Student at Scottsdale School of Music
1. Piano, Singing, Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Bass, Drums, Brass (Trumpet, French Horn, Trombone, Tuba), Woodwinds (Flute, Clarinet, Bassoon, Oboe, English Horn, Saxophone), Violin, Cello, Ukulele, -- All These Music Lessons at One Location!
Families can take piano, voice, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, violin, cello, clarinet, and/or ukulele in one location. Taking lessons at a school like ours allows students to be part of a musical community which brings camaraderie between music students. Our music students are inspired and motivated by interacting and collaborating with other students at their own level or with more advanced students. These opportunities are unavailable when music lessons are taken at a music store, in-home or from a private teacher.
2. Qualified teaching faculty, personalized lessons
Our Studio teachers are highly qualified and love teaching. All our teachers have years of teaching and performance experience and are credentialed at the university level. In addition to their teaching credentials, our teachers have warm personalities, are extremely friendly and dedicated to teaching you the style of music that you want to learn in your music lesson.
At our studio, we strive to build lasting relationships between students and their teachers. Our teachers spend time getting to know each individual student, and we modify our approach and methods to fit the personality and learning style of each student. Students choose their personal favorite pieces to prepare for the recitals. When a student likes the music they are learning, they become more excited about practicing and developing their own style.
3. Convenient lesson times and flexible makeup policy
The Scottsdale Studio of Music strives to offer families lesson days and times that accommodate their busy schedules. We understand that families have multiple commitments when raising children such as school activities and sports.
If there are multiple family members taking lessons, we always try our best to schedule all the family members around the same time.
4. A proven track record of excellence since 2009
Since we opened in 2009, the Scottsdale Studio of Music has served hundreds of families in the Valley and we are proud and dedicated to continue offering the highest quality of music lessons in piano, voice, guitar, drum, clarinet and violin, etc.
Many of our students have accomplished high music achievements, including being able to perform advanced songs and pieces and earning multiple state and national merits. These earned merits have strengthened their high school and college applications.
5. Comfortable and beautiful waiting area
With over 2,300 square feet, our Studio has plenty of space to welcome waiting family members.
Instead of waiting in a music retail store showroom, our clients enjoy a spacious, professional parent's lounge with comfortable chairs, kids' tables and chairs, Wi-Fi, and water/coffee service.
Families can wait in the reception room with tall windows and lots of natural light. They can also observe outside the teaching room through the tall windows, or they can choose to sit in on the lesson in the comfortable seating provided. They are also welcome to wait in our spacious Recital Room.
6. Spacious and creative teaching rooms
Most music schools and music retails stores have small, cramped and uncomfortable lesson rooms. At our studio, every teaching room is inviting, comfortable and spacious. Each studio room has either a baby grand or upright acoustic piano, electric piano for teaching uses. Students also have access to the recital room to test out their recital pieces.
7. Personal recitals which build lasting memories
Some music schools herd large numbers of students into auditoriums for recitals once a year. Students are given limited time to perform in a ‘cattle-call’ setting. We host our Halloween, Winter and Spring recitals in our own Recital Room at the studio, keeping the recital length close to an hour and the audiences small so that the recitals are family friendly and non-intimidating for performers. There is no admission charge for our recitals, and the Winter and Spring recitals are included in a student’s monthly tuition.
Some schools and teachers focus on learning only one or two songs per year. Our goal, however, is to teach students a variety of songs throughout the year and a chance to perform multiple pieces of their choice. Our regular smaller performances allow students to gradually mature into a seasoned performer.
For those students who enjoy (and are ready for) grand, large-scale concerts, our Studio partners with national teachers associations (see below for details).
8. Located right off the 101 and Princess/Pima exit
Conveniently located in North Scottsdale, right off the 101 and Princess/Pima exit. Our studio have students who travel from South Scottsdale, North Phoenix, Cave Creek, Carefree, Fountain Hills, and McCormick Ranch for music lessons.
9. Month to month lessons
The Scottsdale Studio of Music does not require semester minimums for lessons. Every student here is on a month-to-month basis.
