Minnetonka Music Academy

"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything." --Plato

At the Minnetonka Music Academy, we believe music enriches a child's;s life. Our caring and talented instructors inspire children to reach their indivdiual musical goals while developing a lifelong love of music.

We offer private and group instruction in piano, guitar, woodwinds, brass, strings, percussion, and voice in a relaxed environment for children and adults of all ages. We offer flexible scheduling and ten convenient locations.

From our parents......

It has been so enjoyable to watch our child learn the piano this school year. You have introduced her to a new world......something she would not have experienced otherwise. Your paitence and expertise make you a fantastic teacher! Thank you! We hope to continue bringing music into our child's life next year!

Thanks so much for all your encouragement this year!

Thank you so much for the awesome music bag from the program! We love them!!

I wanted to express my gratitude for all your help and to let you know that our child has truly enjoyed being taught by your instructor and has made a great progress.
