This includes glass windows on lesson rooms to foster transparency between teachers and parents, full-time office staff so that students and teachers are never left unsupervised, requiring extensive background checks of all of our teachers and staff, security cameras in all rooms, and an open-door policy for parents — which means that they’re always invited to sit in on their child’s lessons.

Message From Our Founders
The ability to play an instrument or sing beautifully offers a lifetime of benefits. Music lessons also foster a student’s personal, social, and academic development.
At Avalon Park School of Music, we have made substantial investments in our facility and dedicated faculty to provide an uplifting environment designed to foster creativity, confidence, and joy.
If you’ve been told you’re tone-deaf or uncoordinated, we’re here to tell you: everyone can improve their musical skills. As musicians and educators, we’ve witnessed countless students transform their lives in ways they never imagined possible. We make it our mission to help students explore and develop their talents — wherever their curiosity and interests lead them.
