Testimonials

Americana Music Academy is proud to feature annual nominees in the "Best of Lawrence" private music teacher category! Come see why people love our instructors so much. 

 

I thought about moving the Academy to Kansas City to find a wider audience of people who would be interested in teaching or learning with us. But the Lawrence community is full of amazing musicians and music appreciators alike and I knew that this community needed Americana.
