WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT THEIR LESSONS!:
“Okemos Music Academy is great! I learn something new and feel like I walk out a better player each week! They’re very friendly, flexible, and knowledgeable. I would recommend them to anyone looking to take lessons.”
“My 5-year-old daughter wanted to start piano lessons. I was so excited when I found Okemos Music Academy. We signed up for lessons with Alexis. She has been amazing at teaching Sutton. In a matter of months, my 5-year-old is learning to read music and play songs. She repeatedly tells me how amazing Alexis is and is always excited to go to lessons!”
“Alexander’s first lesson with Marie went great! Alexander liked the lesson very much, and we are practicing and looking forward to the next lesson.”
“Our boys have been taking lessons at Okemos Music Academy for nearly two years. We have experienced several teachers and have had great experiences overall! We love the community involvement!”
“Great communication. Easy scheduling. My daughter enjoys her lessons.”
“Love my lessons with Peter. He is an excellent teacher.”
“I’m thrilled and amazed at how much Faith has learned since she started guitar lessons at OMA. She enjoys it so much!”
“We love Mrs. Susan! We couldn’t ask for a better teacher! She is patient, very kind, and knows how to motivate Bella. We never saw Bella so motivated to play piano and practice at home. Mrs. Susan is the best! “
“Love the staff, and the building is gorgeous. Great place to learn a new instrument, no matter the age!”
“My child truly loves taking lessons here. Everyone is so pleasant, professional, and polite. If you’re considering music lessons, I highly recommend Okemos Music Academy!”
