WOW!
What an incredible series of winter recitals!
The energy in the room was absolutely electric, filled with our amazing students’ positive vibes and radiant talent.
Every performance was a testament to the hard work and dedication you all have put in over the past few months.
A huge thank you to our wonderful teachers for their guidance and support, and of course, to our students for sharing their musical gifts with us all. It truly paid off!
We also want to extend our deepest gratitude to the parents and families of our students. Your unwavering support, encouragement, and dedication make everything we do possible. Thank you for all you do for our students and our academy!
We can’t wait to see what you accomplish by the June recitals!
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, we’re holding a “Guess the Number of Candy Hearts” contest at the front desk!
From February 3rd to February 16th, current students can submit their guess for how many candy hearts are in the jar.
The student with the closest guess will win the entire jar!
And now for the biggest news… this year, we are celebrating our 25th anniversary!
We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have shared our passion for music with the Lansing and Okemos communities for a quarter of a century.
To celebrate this milestone, we have some exciting events and announcements coming soon, including news about our new academy location opening in Berkley, Michigan!
Stay tuned for more details!
Sincerely,
John Dewey

WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT THEIR LESSONS!:
“Thank you so much for this message and photo! We were so impressed with the attention and care of the recital experience. Especially the video recording and being able to share with friends and family. Eva’s violin has been passed down multiple generations in my family – her great great grandmother immigrated from Ireland and played with the Detroit women’s symphony. We are thrilled to have Eva carryon on this special talent and appreciate all Mia and OMA has done for her journey!”
-Mary Louks, Mason, MI 1/26/2025

-Katie Conly, Williamston, MI 1/19/2025
