Vance Music Studios Our lesson studios are comfortable, spacious, soundproof, and are stocked with high quality and well-maintained equipment (pianos, drum sets, amplifiers, etc). Our retail sales are limited to the books and accessories needed for the lessons. Not only does offering these items make it convenient for our students, but limiting our retail operation eliminates the noisy and congested " music store" atmosphere associated with many music lessons. We also buy and sell used instruments on a small scale, and have top-notch on premises guitar repair as an added convenience.

Our instructors all hold degrees in music (some at the graduate level), have a minimum of 10 years of teaching experience (with positive results), and are extremely active as performers at a professional level (locally as well as nationally).
Highlights and features
  • Bass, Drums, Guitar, Piano

Just have to say it again. OMG! Bands kicked butt on Saturday night (8/27/2011). The chit chat around the club was all positive. And it was a packed house. Yeah! You deserve all the praise for putting this together. George and I thank you for giving Louis such a positive and cool opportunity.

Hey Chris- I just wanted to send a sincere thank you again for the lessons we had together.I'm playing a rock opera of Macbeth in Medina (July 2012), it just kinda fell in my lap last minute. I was handed a piano score with lots of rhythmic , tempo, and key changes (a lot of them) a week until opening night, and have had no problems with it thanks to you. Great work giving back to the local music scene. Thank You,
