Orpheus Academy Of Music

My daughter loves to come to Orpheus and so do I (even though I m not the one taking classes) !!
The teachers are exceptional and my daughter loves to go to Ms. Anna (violin) and Mr. Adam (kinder theory) class!!! I had the pleasure to meet Klondike (owner) and I was so happy to see that he's so passionate about teaching and music!!!
Thank your Orpheus for a great experience!!!

My son has been taking lessons at Orpheus for about a year, and I'm consistently amazed by and appreciative of the teachers and staff. The curriculum is extremely comprehensive and every aspect seems deeply researched and thought out. I love that he's learning to understand musical relationships and to love music, rather than just learning to play notes. He enjoys the activities and opportunities connect with other kids. He's learning to be a good listener and support other kids in their musical journeys too. All the teachers and staff that we've encountered and been extremely patient, knowledgeable, and eager to help. Thank you for a great experience!

Great program and great job in this past year reinventing the program to work virtually. Thanks so much to the staff for the virtual concerts that have allowed the kids to keep performing.

We love being a part of the school and the Orpheus family. We have already recommended the school to many other parents!
My son loves his teacher, is learning a lot, and teaching me :) and he enjoys musicianship very much. Learning by listening is a phenomenal way to capture the joy of learning to play:)

Awesome Music school and amazing teachers. We love orpheus academy School of Music. Love the fact that they have 2 locations. We live in Leander and the new location in Cedar park is perfect for us.

My oldest has been going to Orpheus for her piano and music lessons since 2012. In 2014, I got my youngest to go as well.

I especially like Orpheus philosophy that learning a music instrument needs to be backed by a strong theory. When I was growing up, my piano teacher taught me to play piano, but never taught me music theory. I feel I'm missing some music foundation. I think my kids will have a richer musical life knowing a decent amount of music theory. I like the fact that we spend approximately equal amount of time on theory (in a group) and on instrument lesson (individually).

Another aspect I like about Orpheus is the opportunities to collaborate amongst students. Orpheus' annual Friendship Concert where multiple kids collaborate to perform a duet or triplet is just about my favorite event of the year.

I am an old guy student of the guitar. The majority of students at this school are very young folks by my observation.

If you are a person who has been a fair weather player like myself then you may want to try this place out. I had been on a 10 year hiatus and decided to find a new way forward. I registered for guitar lessons and was placed with a person who really works to understand his students or their guardian's expectations. I have had many many teachers thru my life. By far I have made the fastest progress working with my assigned instructor. He really works to connect with his students.

If you are an older player like me and are open to changing old bad habits then you may want to consider Orpheus. I am in my 50s but don't have a closed mind. My instructor corrected some of my old bad habits and a new horizon was opened to me. The curriculum at Orpheus is academic but will produce results consistent with your investment.

That is all. Good playing!

We love the philosophy of the academy and we love our piano teacher Ms Georgia who has infinite patience for a loquacious 4 year old who thinks he knows everything. Most importantly we love that the academy teaches not just music but the love of music.

These folks are highly committed to a good experience for their students.
Also, they always start and end right on time, which is nice for busy parents.

Excellent!

Their voice teacher, Elise, worked with me on my priorities. As an adult taking music lessons, I wanted to focus on the kind of music I like -- not on the classical track (which is what I'd gotten forced down as a kid taking violin lessons). Elise worked with me on my priorities and I made good progress in a short time.

The owners, Wendy and Klondike, are friendly and highly committed to their students' success. When I was in last week, I bumped into Klondike and he showed me a new teaching tool he'd been working on to help kids understand a little music theory, but in a way that would be non-academic and easy for them to visualize.

Its a beautiful setting. It's not easy to make a strip mall site calm, peaceful, and inviting, but they've done it. I think I breathe a little easier whenever I'm in Orpheus.

Very helpful on scheduling. I had something come up just a couple of hours before a lesson. I called up to cancel just because its the right thing to do, fully expecting that I would be on the hook for the lesson (like they do in a doctors office if you cancel with less than 24 hours notice). I didn't even ask. To my great surprise, I was told that it was no problem, I could reschedule, and wouldn't be charged for the lesson. They explained that many of their students are kids and that this sort of thing happens all the time, they weren't going to hold one cancellation against me.
