Benefits of Music Lessons at Downingtown Music Academy

Award winning lessons

Downingtown Music Academy has been voted the best in Downingtown three years in a row since 2019! We’ve won awards on Thumbtack and on Alignable for 2020 best Downingtown business out of 900 businesses on the site.

Our teachers have taught professionally in universities and played in their city’s symphony orchestras and acclaimed venues such as Carnegie Hall. They have won songwriting awards in their cities and opened for hip-hop legends. They have even written courses used internationally in multi-million dollar music company mobile apps.

Performance Opportunities

Our studio does recitals twice a year for all students. We also provide open house activities, workshops, master classes, and music for community events such as farmers markets, non-profit concerts, and music festivals. We believe in creating a community through music and we regularly collaborate with like-minded businesses, always looking for new ways to help our students share their talents with others. Check out our upcoming events or like our Facebook page to see what we’re up to!

Convenient Lesson Location

Our studio location is conveniently located in the center of Downingtown right near the 30 bypass and 113 making it accessible to students living in Exton, Downingtown, and West Chester, and many other Chester County locations. We also have onsite parking!

Comfy and Clean Waiting Area for Parents

Our waiting area offers coffee, refrigerated water, toys for little ones and of course free WiFi! You can sit in on your child’s lesson, or lounge on our cozy sofa in the waiting area. You can even run errands while they have their lesson- our teachers are all background checked!

Quality Lessons in Person or Online

We have taken great pains to ensure the quality of our Zoom lessons. Teachers provide online games, virtual screen-sharing activities, curated composer content, and time-honored focus strategies to help you or your child have a successful lesson whether in person or online. And it’s the same Zoom link every week- so just come in the virtual waiting room when you’re ready! We even help you with a video consultation to get your devices set up properly for a smooth lesson experience.

Easy to Follow Practice Routines

All your assignment information, helpful resources and practice routines are tracked through practice space (our music learning app). You can see where you were months ago, and track your progress, simply by revisiting the notes on past lessons in your app. We also hold conferences twice a year with parents and adult students to discuss goals and progress.

Simple Scheduling

We use Funnel Boss, a scheduling app, to make rescheduling your lessons easy. We also have designated makeup days at the end of each month in case of holidays, teacher illness or power outages.

Flexible Lesson Schedules to Fit Your Lifestyle

Make lessons work on your budget and schedule. You can take them at regular intervals throughout the month, or sporadically when it is convenient to you.

Practice Motivation for Young Students

Sometimes young students really struggle to manage their time with practice. We use fun practice charts like the one above to engage students and help them earn fun rewards like gift cards.

Our lessons go beyond just the classroom. From scheduling to performances, you can expect a premium experience for yourself and/or your child.

Testimonial Video Our teachers understand the importance of guiding, rather than drilling, students to success. They have taught professionally in universities and played in their city’s symphony orchestras and acclaimed venues such as Carnegie Hall. They have won songwriting awards in their cities and opened for hip-hop legends. They have even written courses used internationally in multi-million dollar music company mobile apps. We work with students to meet their individualized musical goals by helping them select musical choices and teaching younger students through imaginative play and games. We work with parents to motivate students through token systems for practice.
