Our students at Jenison Academy of Music save time and money on lessons. An entire family can take lessons on numerous instruments all within the same day. Some studios offer multiple instruments but don’t offer all of the most popular ones. Our academy, on the other hand, has Piano, Guitar, Drums, Voice, and Violin. We offer all of this in a professional, convenient environment with highly qualified instructors. Bass Guitar, Ukulele, Mandolin, and Cello lessons are also available. The teachers at Jenison coach music lessons to all ages and abilities, from children to adults and beginners to advanced musicians.
All of our music instructors have extensive experience and credentials. We are dedicated to developing a connection with each student while learning about their personal goals and helping accomplish them. Jenison Academy of Music has several teachers available for each and every instrument which means we are confident that we have the perfect teacher to meet your musical needs and aspirations. Our friendly and warm instructors are committed to teaching you the style of music that you want to learn.
Everything you may need for your lesson is included in our music rooms. Whether that be an amp, stereo, full drum kit, keyboard, or a piano, we have it all! It is only necessary to bring your own guitar, drum sticks, ukulele, or string instrument. The Jenison music rooms are fully equipped with professional soundproofing. Large observation windows are also available for those who wish to observe.
Jenison Academy of Music also delivers a cutting edge experience by integrating technological advancements. Each music room is equipped with an iPad. This technical advantage allows our students to engage in lessons using teaching apps, music software, and much more. We also encourage our students to bring their own devices to lessons along with their instruments.
In addition, our instructors have easy access to technology that allows them to quickly pivot to an online Live Video lesson when students are not able to attend in-person. Instructors can also create a video recording for students who miss a lesson.
We understand that it is important for parents to know that their child is making progress in their musical talent. Your investments are revealed through their participation in recitals- whether that be displayed through the guitar, ukulele, bass, piano, voice, drum, violin, viola, or cello.
Music recitals at our academy are free for the student performing and our guests. We do not charge admission fees.
It is common for music studio desks to be staffed by a teacher or even an answering machine. However, at the Academy of Music in Jenison, we offer full-time customer service, six days a week for our music students. We are the only music school in Jenison, Grandville, and Hudsonville that offers this level of service. Our friendly, professional, and efficient office team members are available full-time to assist our students and parents.
The Academy of Music prioritizes safety throughout each and every lesson. Our staff follows a Family Safety Plan which includes five background checks for all employees, observation windows for every music room, and video surveillance in every music room and lobby area. At least one administrative team member is also present during all lessons for security purposes.
We acknowledge that parents desire to have quality photos of their student with an instrument. We encourage students to bring their own instruments to photoshoots and wear whatever they wish. Adult students are welcome as well.
If you would like to be featured in our print and online marketing, just let us know. On multiple occasions throughout the year, we choose student academy photos to be the Face of the Academy in our marketing.
As a mother of five and music teacher with a master’s degree in music education and more than 40 years of experience teaching music, I understand what parents need to know about helping their children experience real success in music.
Since 2003, I have dedicated myself to offering an exceptional music lesson experience for students in West Michigan. What began as an early childhood music and piano studio is now the largest professional music school in the area and includes both the Academy of Music in Grand Rapids and Jenison Academy of Music. I’m most grateful for our fabulous teachers and hundreds of students in such a supportive community who trust us each week with their music education.
