Summer Recital and Local Music Fun

Celebrating Our Summer Showcase Stars!
We’re still glowing with pride after this year’s Summer Showcase Recital! Congratulations to all of our incredible students for your hard work, courage, and beautiful performances. Whether it was your very first recital or your tenth, we are so proud of how you took the stage and shared your music with grace and heart.

A heartfelt thank you to all the friends and family who came to cheer, clap, and support. Your presence means the world to our students and helps make these moments unforgettable. And of course, our deepest gratitude goes to our amazing teachers, who prepared, encouraged, and stood beside each student every step of the way. Your dedication is the heartbeat of our school.

Make Music Part of Your Summer Fun

Mid-summer in the Twin Cities means music is everywhere, from kids drumming on picnic tables at Lake Nokomis to indie, bluegrass, and salsa bands lighting up Mears Park every Thursday at the free Lowertown Sounds series, complete with food trucks and Minnesota-made treats. We’ve loved hearing your children describe the songs they’ve discovered at these neighborhood shows; that real-world listening is already showing up in lessons as cleaner phrasing and bolder improvisation.

If you’d like to keep that momentum going, lean on everyday routines. Let your child DJ the drive to Como Zoo and have them explain why each song matches the mood of the trip. On cooler evenings, spread a blanket at a Lake Harriet “Music in the Parks” concert and challenge your student to clap the beat or name the instruments they hear. These small, local moments reinforce what we cover in the school, without feeling like extra practice.

A big congratulations to our performers in our Summer Showcase Recital! Recital photos have been sent via email for both recitals. Please let us know if you need access. 

Summer Practice Challenge has started! Students can earn one point for every day you practice this summer and take home an awesome prize! Download your sheet here or pickup at the front desk to start earning points!

Welcome to our newly enrolled students this month!

We are the only music school in Medina / Plymouth / Wayzata area that gives their students the opportunity to earn special color wristband/bracelets (kids and teens love them!), trophies AND certificates for passing musical challenges. Do other schools offer trophies and certificates? A few. But none of them inspire their students with smiling faces by giving them full color, really cool Musical Ladder® wristbands that they can show off to their friends. The Musical Ladder® is our unique method of encouraging achievement that you can only get here.

More importantly when our students have a challenge coming up, they practice more, their parents are proud, their teachers are proud, and everybody wins. You can only get the Musical Ladder® here. We also specialize in music lessons for adults.

Piano Lessons, Guitar Lessons, Voice Lessons, Violin Lessons, Ukulele Lessons, and Music Classes in ONE Location!
