​In-Person and Online Lessons!

 Why Accent Music Academy of Wichita is Wichita's #1 choice for music lessons:

Accent Music Academy is Wichita’s favorite music school, teaching students from age 3 to adult piano, & harp lessons.
If you or your child wants to learn a different instrument, odds are I can help you find a teacher: Piano/Keyboard, Electric & Acoustic Guitar, Bass, Ukulele, Violin, French Horn, Harp, Voice and Singing, all taught by Wichita area teachers!

​​

The Best Music School!

Accent Music Academy won the 2020 and 2021 Readers Choice Award for Best/Favorite Music School in Wichita. Since 1996, it’s been the school of choice for more than 4,000 families. Students come from as far as Missouri (and on-line from coast to coast) to study at our location in Wichita.

In 2022, after building the academy to almost 200 students with over 12 teachers, I, Ms. Julia, made the decision to go back to my roots. I no longer directly sign up students with other teachers. Instead, I created a sister site www.WichitaLessons.com to help connect more local families with local teachers and coaches.
​​

Instruments:

I teach Piano/Keyboard, and Harp lessons at my home studio in Benton, and in families homes around the Wichita area.

I can also help you find teachers for the following: Electric/Acoustic Guitar, Bass, Ukulele, Violin, French Horn, Voice/Singing, Computer Science, Personal Training, and professional tutoring of all kinds.

​4. A proven track record of excellence since 1996.

​

5. Comfortable waiting areas.‍​

With a comfortable waiting area and walking trail, we have the best options in Benton for waiting families.

Instead of waiting in a music retail store showroom, our families enjoy a spacious, waiting area with a comfortable couch, kids’ toys, and Wi-Fi. I also have a great walking trail close to the home studio that families are free to use. Of course, parents are always welcome to sit in on lesson anytime.
​

​6. Lessons available in family’s homes around the Wichita Kansas area. 

​In addition to our convenient location in Benton, and online, I am one of the few music schools in the Wichita area that offers lessons in-home for those who prefer that convenience. These premium lessons give families the convenience of lessons without the inconvenience of leaving their home for one more thing. Families are able to continue with their regular home activities while siblings take lessons. Just imagine how nice it would be to be able to continue your regular at home activities while your child takes lessons.

​7. Music recitals in beautiful facilities.

I am one of the only music schools in Wichita that offers recitals in beautiful facilities.
Every parent wants to know how their child is doing and if they are really progressing. The best way for a parent to understand that their investment in lessons is really worth it, is to have their child participate in recitals and other activities throughout the year.

In August of every year, I host our annual All Studio Recital. This is held in beautiful facilities with quality pianos. Students dress up for the occasion and we have professional printed programs. These are very special experiences, and something every student and their family members look forward to every year.

In addition to the annual recital, I also hold a Christmas Celebration and two very special Spotlight Concerts each year. The Spotlight Concerts are by-audition-only and limited to six students in each.

8. Professional office staff seven days a week to serve you.

I offer full-time professional customer service for you seven days a week.

I am available through texting and email every day for your convenience. I generally return text messages very quickly. 

9. Trophies, certificates and medals to celebrate achievement.

‍I give my students the opportunity to earn trophies, medals, and certificates for passing specific musical milestones. Do other schools offer trophies, medals, and certificates? A few. But our school honors them all at our yearly All Studio Recital with a special ceremony. 

10. Student Spotlight Concerts.

I am the only music school in the Wichita area that offers special by-audition-only Spotlight Concerts.

Twice a year, Accent Music Academy of Wichita offers students the opportunity to audition for a very special concert. This concert features students who are selected from their audition recordings to perform. Only six students are selected for each concert, and each one is made to feel like a star – performing three pieces each. This is a very special event every time and something families, students,  and the community really look forward to.

​11. Early morning, lunch time, and late evening lessons for home schoolers, retirees, college students and working professionals.

​Here in the Wichita are, I am able to be a 'full service' music school. This means we offer lessons as early as 8:00 AM most days, and we see many students between the hours of 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM. If you are a home school parent, retiree, college student or working professional who has a flexible schedule, take advantage of our early morning and lunch time lesson spots.

If you want lessons, but do not have early morning or lunchtime flexibility, we also offer lessons as late as 7:00 PM weekday evenings. Please note that I currently have a large waitlist for lessons after school and on the weekend.

​12. Located close to the east side of Wichita Kansas.

My school is convenient to most of east Wichita and the surrounding areas in Butler County. If coming to Benton is too far, I offer in-home and online lessons as well!

13. A Christmas Celebration that helps bring in the season.

​I am the only music school in the Wichita area that offers a low-key Christmas Celebration like mine. Every year we offer a relaxed Christmas Party where students are encouraged, but not required to perform. The main focus of the Christmas Celebration is simply a time to get excited about the up-coming season, have some fun, and enjoy time with others. Students are encouraged to wear festive and fun outfits.

14. Month to Month lessons for your convenience. 

Accent Music Academy does not require semester minimums for lessons. Every student here is on a month-to-month basis. While I do ask that you give us notice of leaving, you are not held into a long-term contract. We want you and your child to be happy with your music lessons, not dreading them.

If you are ready to start, you have nothing to lose. I only want students who truly want to be here and I will not commit you to a long-term contract. (See policies for all the details)​

How Do I Get Started?

​15. Lessons Year Round

While other music schools don’t teach over the summer months, Accent Music Academy of Wichita continues to teach. So much education and advancement is lost over the summer months with other music schools, but not here. Students continue to learn and progress over the summer months.
