For approximate ages 7-15, our accelerated piano classes offer the comradery of fellow musicians, the training to be self-directed, and the opportunity to advance quickly through beginning piano curriculum.

Early Childhood Music & Movement

About Us

Jefferson City Music Academy offers a wide range of lessons and classes, beginning with baby music & motion classes, all the way to private lessons for kids and adults.

Jefferson City Music Academy evolved from Haynes Music Studio in 2012, when it moved from only piano lessons and Musikgarten classes, to multiple instruments and teachers. We have students now who began as babies or toddlers, and are now accomplished musicians in multiple instruments.

If you live too far away, if you don’t have transportation that day, if you’re too sick to come, but not too sick to take a lesson, if, God forbid, we have a pandemic! Not to worry! We can move your lesson online! It works surprisingly well!

Private Lessons

Different instruments “speak” to different students. We embrace them all. Depending on the teachers we have at the time, we teach many instruments. One benefit of this is that often siblings can take their lessons at the same time! If you decide you no longer want to learn one instrument, you can switch to another one!

Accelerated Piano Classes

Most children learn best in a group. But most piano lessons are a solo endeavor. Our Accelerated Piano Classes solves that problem. Students can progress at their own speed, while having the comradery of the group setting. Most of our class students progress more quickly. And because they have time in class to practice their new pieces before they go home, home practice is more productive and easier. Classes are 60 minutes.

Early Child Music & Movement

All children are musical! The best time to develop a child’s natural musical ability is BEFORE age 7! Our Musikgarten classes are the best place to do that! Designed for parent and child together, we sing, dance, play simple instruments, learn basic musical concepts, and just have lots of FUN with music!

Children make new friends – and so do parents! They learn socialization skills, such as taking turns, dancing with a partner, being more aware of their surroundings. We work on impulse control with “walk and stop” songs. They distinguish between sounds, getting more complicated as they get older. Each class is designed to meet the needs of that specific age.
