Highly Qualified Teachers
All of our teachers have not only played and performed for years, they all have baccalaureate degrees (or higher) in their chosen instrument. This qualification is important to ensure that your teacher 1) has a thorough and high-quality background in music, 2) can correctly assist students with proper technique, and 3) has the knowledge to introduce students to aspects of music they may not have been exposed to: complex theory concepts, additional genres and styles, composition theory, and more.
Teachers Who Can Teach
We've all seen it before - the math whiz who can't teach basic algebra, the karate master who has no patience with little kids. Unfortunately, this scenario happens in music instruction too. Virtuosos Music Academy takes special care to find the very best teachers in the Twin Cities. This means that not only can they play and perform, they can teach you music!
Lots of Music Styles and Schedule Options
Since Virtuosos Music Academy employs a wide variety of teachers, our students can take lessons in a wide range of instruments (piano, guitar, drums, voice, woodwinds and brass), a wide range of styles (classical, rock, jazz, folk, opera, bluegrass, etc.), and with a wide range of scheduling options. We also have the ability to schedule two or more family members at the same time with different teachers, to reduce hours of driving and waiting time.
Lifetime Learning
At Virtuosos Music Academy, students can start as young as four months and progress through their retirement years. Our group programs are perfect for the younger kids who learn through "playing" with their peers, our private lessons are robust enough to keep students interested through grade school, high school, college, and beyond. Our studio is run professionally and is perfect for busy adults. In addition, our enrichment programs and additional classes are ideal for the student who wants to delve deeper into the world of music.
All Abilities Welcome - Beginners Are Our Speciality!
Beginners might be timid about starting something new or need extra attention. We have teachers that specialize in these new students - both very young or adults just getting started. No need to be shy! In addition, our Music Technology Lab allows students to work on new concepts at their own pace, while having a qualified Teachers Assistant available for help right when you need it. Many programs are designed as "games" for the younger student to keep it interesting and fun. We also have programs specifically designed for older beginners who may not need the "cartoons" to learn a new concept. Virtuosos Music Academy is the perfect place for the new musician!
On the flip side, since our teachers are all very qualified, we have students that are quite accomplished and have been studying for years. In addition, our Lab is robust enough to help prepare for college music theory exams or go extremely in-depth in many concepts, including advanced music theory, sophisticated ear training, complex rhythm reading and dictation, professional-grade composition, and music recording.
