Creative Arts Academy

About

Music and art lessons taught by working professional artists who perform and present in addition to teaching. The academy operates out of The Venue at 1201 as part of a nonprofit focused on building community through the arts, with instructors offering piano, voice, drums, guitar, bass, and ukulele alongside visual art classes. Perfect for homeschooling families and kids who want instruction from real performing artists rather than just teachers. The academy offers a free trial lesson to start, and the community-focused approach creates a supportive environment where kids genuinely look forward to their weekly lessons.

  Creative Arts Academy at CGCD offers music lessons in drums, guitar, bass, ukulele, piano, and voice for kids starting at age 4 and beyond. The teaching artists who lead lessons are working musicians and performers themselves, so they bring real-world experience to their instruction and focus on building a strong creative foundation rather than just going through the motions. Lessons are offered in the evenings, with both 30-minute private lessons available, and you can try out a free trial lesson before committing to anything. The program operates on a membership model starting at just $10 per month, making quality music instruction really accessible. What sets them apart is their philosophy of meeting kids where they are—whether your child is just discovering music or already has goals in mind—and helping them actually get there.

You can try a free trial lesson first to see if it's a good fit before committing, and they're a direct provider with Step Up, so that might help with costs depending on your situation.
