“Each of my three kids have taken lessons at Okemos Music Academy. They love going to lessons. The teachers are upbeat, knowledgeable, and wonderful with my children. They make lessons fun and challenging, and I appreciate the help making music a part of my house. There’s nothing more wonderful than the sound of my own kids making music on their instruments! I hear their progress and smile.”

“Although I was busy with my electronic device outside my daughter's studio, I was certainly able to hear how the lesson went. That wasn't my intention, but it was an added bonus. I would just like to commend Okemos Music Academy on my daughter's teacher on his enthusiasm and teaching. I feel that even I learned from his lesson, although I am not even a musician. He did an excellent job and provided excellent and appropriate feedback. His enthusiasm was also commendable and helpful. I was very impressed with his teaching. (I teach at LCC, so I can't help but to pay attention to the methodology used when a kid is being instructed.) I was just very impressed by Okemos Music Academy!"

“This is our first year at Okemos Music Academy. The music academy’s campus is absolutely beautiful with a real artsy flare, and help at front desk goes unmatched. My 10 year old son takes violin here. He really enjoys his teacher and the atmosphere as well. Just recently, he experienced his first concert at the Academy. It was a fabulous experience for him with a variety of skill levels and talent from all ages. Later we received a card in the mail with a hand written congratulatory note complimenting his performance. In the card was a close up picture of him playing his violin on the stage. What a nice touch from an already professional music academy. Thanks for keeping music a positive playing experience for my son.”

“Started violin lessons for our 6 year old daughter about 3 months ago and she has blossomed so much over the course of her lessons. Her teacher is patient and encouraging and even convinced my very, very shy daughter (who hates being in the spotlight) to perform at the winter recital. Not only did she convince her to perform (miracle) but made a trip out to see just two of her students perform and sat on stage with my little girl just to make her feel comfortable. Our very shy daughter said it was one of her favorite things she has ever done. So happy with the training and with the instruction she is given here and highly recommend it!”

“Okemos Music Academy has a great academy with a great mission statement. The instructors there guide the students through their musical education but also encourage the students to add their own creative input on their curriculum, making the lessons fun, something to look forward to every week. This is really noticeable during their numerous recitals where you see students of all ages and talents playing many different instruments and styles from several genres. If you or someone close to you is looking for a place to take lessons, I strongly suggest coming here.”

“We are so grateful to be apart of Okemos Music Academy Family. Music is a gift and the family at the Academy has shared their gift many ways; lessons, recitals, music instruments/tools to learn. They make us feel more than welcome. The String Repair staff even offered their craft after the power outage this winter, at no cost during certain hours. Okemos Music Academy is more than just lessons, they are an extension to our family. Thank you Okemos Music Academy & John for encouraging and showing my son how important music is in life. Hudson Family.”

“I love Okemos Music Academy. I have never played an instrument before this. I called the office and they immediately lead me in the right direction. In one day I had lessons set up and an instrument. My teacher has been an excellent instructor and is very encouraging. I feel I am well on my way to becoming the fiddler I have always wanted to be. I would recommend this academy to anyone interested in music”
