Since its inception in 1997, we have provided Kentucky students of all ages and experience levels the opportunity to study music. Our over twenty professional teachers bring many years of experience and training into the studio. Along with exposure to this expertise, our Lexington music students also participate in recitals, master classes, music festivals, and competitions that ultimately provide them with a lifetime of musical fulfillment.

Being a non-profit community music school enables us to serve Central Kentuckians of all ages, abilities and financial means. If you or someone you know is interested in music study, please call us. We'd be delighted to give you a tour of our facility and schedule a consultation with one of our music professionals.
