When you sign up for recurring services – such as weekly instrument lessons or our band program – you are automatically considered a member of The Stages Academy. Membership in the Academy entitles you to a wealth of free and discounted services and added value worth hundreds of dollars every month!
The Stages Academy is designed to encourage students to expand their horizons beyond their weekly lessons and become active members of our community. We want our students to take advantage of the wealth of opportunities we provide for education, collaboration and enjoyment. We aim to provide a robust music education experience by creating access to world-class opportunities beyond your weekly lesson and hope you will take advantage of all we have to offer!

Each month, we offer 4 group classes on special topics such as guitar pedals, songwriting, electronic music, vocal techniques, genre studies, improvisation and more! Over $100 in added educational value – always FREE for members!
Throughout the year we bring in some of the most world-class artists and high-caliber musicians to share their wisdom and experience with our community. No other music school around has access to such high-level talent and these masterclasses are also FREE for students!
Performing is its own skill set that also requires practice! We offer many opportunities to exercise your performance chops, including three annual student recitals, bi-monthly open mic nights, a rock-band program for kids, teens & adults and more!
All students are welcome to use one of our seven lesson rooms to rehearse at no cost – subject to room availability. Plus, our recording studios are available to rent for rehearsals at a deep discount ($35/hour).
Stages Academy members and their families automatically receive 50% off all “Stages Presents” concerts throughout the year. We host talent from instructors to local favorites to national acts on one of our two stages – an indoor 60-seat performance hall and an elegant outdoor patio that seats over 150.
Academy members accrue studio credit (up to 4 hours per year) that can be redeemed for audio and/or video recording with a professional engineer. Studio credit can be bundled with other members’ credit for recording together (siblings, band members & other collaborators).
