About Us
Arizona School of Music began as Kirk's Piano Studios in 2002 in Pam and Kirk's small home in Scottsdale. The studio quickly outgrew the house and in 2003 Kirk's Studio for the Performing Arts found a new home in Scottsdale.
Over the years, new space was added and the Scottsdale location has grown to over 5000 sq. ft. of state-of-the-art teaching studios as well as a 75-seat theater, The B Side, a fully-equipped professional recording studio, Big Mike's, and home to AZRadio.Live as well as our 501(c)3 Rhythm's House.
We opened a second location in North Phoenix years later and have a beautiful facility with expert, caring instructors, full-time office staff and an environment where music abounds and students thrive.
In 2018 we adopted the new name of Arizona School of Music.
We've helped 1000s of students since 2002 realize their dreams of making music and we are honored and humbled to have been a small part of so many lives. We look forward to every new student and can't wait to see you shine on stage!
