"My daughter has been a student at the Powell Academy of Music for over a year now and she has had a wonderful experience! The staff has always been courteous and flexible with us and always willing to help meet our needs for scheduling. My daughter considers singing and piano her favorite activity outside of school!"

My son tends to get frustrated when faced with challenges, but his teacher's patience and understanding have made a huge difference. He has a wonderful teaching style that really resonates with my son, helping him stay calm and motivated even when things get tough."

"My son and daughter begged me to let them take guitar lessons. After researching and touring a few places we decided on Powell Academy of Music. We couldn't be happier with our choice. My kids love their teacher. He's very patient with them and he makes the lessons fun. After 3 lessons they were thrilled to be able to play Happy Birthday for their Grandma as a birthday surprise. Overall a great experience!"
★★★★★
"Amazing teachers, highly educated and skilled in their instruments. I take voice lessons and guitar, and bring my daughter for their pre-k program. I tried other schools but the Academy has the best teachers. They make you feel at ease and bring out the best in you. I'm an adult learner with no previous music experience and I am glad I chose this place to get started.
★★★★★
"The Powell Academy of Music was referred to me by a coworker whose daughter had an excellent experience learning to play drums...We met with the office staff, discussed our goals and needs and selected our instructor. In the nine months my son has been on this musical journey, his teacher and the Academy have become an important part of our family. The teaching staff is incredible... I encourage anyone seeking a home for fostering a love for music for your kids to learn more about the Powell Academy of Music!"
★★★★★
"Our son isn't a big sports kid so we were looking for something that would challenge him to work toward achieving goals (and give a little break on video games.) Drums are now his thing thanks to the guidance of his instructor John. We appreciate that the instruction at Powell Music Academy is both challenging and encouraging. We are big enough fans of the program that we (somewhat reluctantly) purchased a full drum kit for our home. Apologies to the neighbors."
★★★★★
"My son has been taking drum lessons from Kyle for over 4 years now, and I cannot say enough good things about his experience. I would recommend Kyle in a heartbeat. He has connected to my son, whose interest and love for drums has only grown with Kyle's expertise."
★★★★★
"My childs experience with voice lessons with Jenna has been amazing! We have been working with her for over a year and wow what a difference I am seeing. Jenna has increased their confidence in choir at school, in musicals and auditions and has pushed my child to begin singing publicly on stage. Jenna is so good as a teacher!"
★★★★★
"My daughter is having a wonderful experience here. Her voice teacher is teaching her so much! I recommend Caitlyn to anyone wanting to grow their vocal talent."
★★★★★
"Our daughter has been a cello student at PAM for several years. The teachers and staff have been fantastic and very responsive. PAM's flexibility in scheduling has also allowed her to remain involved in a variety of after-school sport and volunteer activities while still focusing on her love for music."
★★★★★
"My teacher is Tracy and she is wonderful! As an adult learner of the violin, I was very nervous about taking music lessons. Tracy is not only patient with me but she also helps instill confidence. I am grateful for her ability to teach first timers like me. Thanks PAM for having such fantastic staff like Tracy!""

"My daughter takes trumpet lessons from Tim at Powell Academy of Music and we feel like we hit the lottery in terms of music teachers. She responds very well to his style of teaching and has grown so much as a musician since beginning lessons with him. I highly recommend both Mr. Tim and Powell Academy of Music if you are seeking high quality, professional music instruction in Powell."
★★★★★
"I decided to re-learn my clarinet. I still have the clarinet I played in high school and college and now that I'm retired, I have time to learn and practice. I take my lessons at Powell Academy of Music and have been so delighted. My teacher, Amy, is great at working with an adult learner. I'm learning so much and so many new things I didn't learn the first time I took lessons with my clarinet back in the day! The business side is easy to work with and is efficient. I'm so happy I found Powell Academy of Music and Amy C.!"
★★★★★
"My daughter is in the Animal Adventures program for kids 3-6. Not only has this program been so fun for her, i’m impressed with how much music reading and theory she’s learning to better prepare her for choosing an instrument to learn. Julia is such a wonderful teacher, and is so kind and patient with young kids."
★★★★★
"Our son has taken Animal Adventures in Music lessons with Ms. Julia since he was 4 and he’ll graduate from the program next month. He can read 3 octaves of music and is very excited to start piano lessons after he finishes. We have absolutely LOVED having Ms. Julia. She is excellent with kids, even ones like my son who might not have the best attention span, especially at this age. She’s helped nurture my son’s love of music and we can’t recommend her enough!"
★★★★★
"We have been doing Animal Adventures since the beginning of 2025 and love the experience of getting to learn about music and explore instruments. My son does struggle with focus at times, and his teacher, Mrs. Emily is patient and understanding when he is distracted. We have loved working with Mrs. Emily and are looking forward to all the ways my son can grow his musical knowledge with her help."
★★★★★
"I have been a violin student at Powell Academy for a few months now and in that brief time I have learned more than in the whole previous year. The instructors are highly skilled and patient with students to allow them to grow in their skill at their own pace. I highly recommend Powell Academy of Music to anyone of any age wishing to pursue music lessons."

★★★★★
“I have been taking piano lessons at the school for about a year now. Before this, I had taken lessons for about eight years. I felt that I was at a stand still in my playing and decided to come here. My teacher has taught me so much about piano and technique and has made me aware of things I can do to improve my playing. My teacher opened me up to new genres of music and has helped me to perform the songs at the best of my ability. I am thankful for the truly great instruction I have received at the Powell Academy of Music.”
