About the Academy

A school built
around the student.

We do not teach a curriculum. We teach you, the music you actually love, at the pace you actually move.

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 guitar lesson will have very different needs than a fifty year old taking up piano for the second time after having had lessons as a child. The main reason to choose Pinnacle 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 fits 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.

ยท Eleven reasons it matters

What music gives back,
long after the lesson ends.

  1. 01

    Memory, sharpened.

    Even when a student reads from sheet music, the act of performing builds memory skills, a tool that pays out for life.

  2. 02

    Language & reason.

    The region of the brain that handles language also handles music. Early musical training sharpens both.

  3. 03

    Small motor skills.

    Like sports, music helps young children develop fine motor coordination, without the bruises.

  4. 04

    An ear for great work.

    Students learn to strive for excellence rather than settle for "good enough," a work ethic that travels.

  5. 05

    Self-discipline.

    Mastering an instrument means showing up to practice daily. That habit becomes a life skill.

  6. 06

    School engagement.

    Students who study music are far more likely to stay in school, and succeed in other subjects.

  7. 07

    Higher test scores.

    Some research finds music students scoring up to 63 points higher on verbal SATs and 44 on math.

  8. 08

    Teamwork.

    Bands and orchestras teach the value of working together. Friendships are built at the music stand.

  9. 09

    Pride of completion.

    Even the smallest piece of music leaves a student proud of what they made.

  10. 10

    Creative problem-solving.

    Music trains the mind to find more than one answer, a habit that helps everywhere.

  11. 11

    Imagination.

    Music opens children up to learning itself. Curiosity about new music becomes curiosity about everything.
