Our Expertise

30+ Years of Experience in Professional Music Instruction

We challenge anyone to find a music school with more education, experience and passion. We’re pretty sure you won’t. From decades of professional music experience to Doctorates from renowned music schools, our staff leads the way and will provide you with a music education that is second-to-none.

Here’s the best part – not only are our instructors highly qualified – they’re amazing people as well. These are people that care about students and their success and well-being. It’s no coincidence that most of our students are with us for many years. We still hear from students years after they graduate and now have families of their own.

Since 1992 we’ve been privileged to share the gift of music with our students. When you take lessons at Arizona School of Music, you’re not just learning to play an instrument. You’re a part of a community that cares and where you can thrive. We invite you to come in and see what we’re all about.
