"My daughter had tried two other music schools and quit both times. Within a month at TVMA she was asking to practice on her own. The difference is the teacher actually listened to what songs she wanted to learn."

Private Music Lessons That Actually Stick With You
No contracts. No pressure. Just great music instruction.
Our Belief
Music you love
makes you practice.
Most music schools hand you a method book and tell you to start at page one. Three months later, you're playing scales you don't care about, and the guitar is back in the closet.
"The music you're excited about is what makes the hours disappear."
At Treasure Valley Music Academy, your lessons are built around what you actually want to play — whether that's Led Zeppelin riffs, Chopin nocturnes, or the bass line from a song you heard last week. Real skills form faster when you care about the music.

What We Teach
Three instruments. Taught the way they're meant to be played.
Guitar
From first chords to fingerpicking blues, lead technique to rhythm playing — acoustic or electric. We meet you exactly where you are, and we build toward what you want to sound like.
- Acoustic & electric guitar
- All genres: rock, blues, folk, classical, country
- Beginners to advanced — ages 7 and up
Piano
Piano builds the musical foundation that makes everything else click. Whether your child is just starting or you're an adult returning to the keys, lessons are shaped around your goals — classical technique, pop songs, or music theory you can actually use.
- Classical, contemporary, and pop piano
- Music theory woven into every lesson
- Kids, teens, and adult students
Bass Guitar
Bass is the heartbeat of every band — and one of the most overlooked instruments to learn well. TVMA's bass instruction covers groove, technique, timing, and theory so you're not just keeping up, you're holding the whole thing together.
- Electric bass technique & groove
- Rock, funk, jazz, and more
- Perfect for aspiring band players

From Our Students
What it feels like to learn here.
"I'm 42 and always told myself I was too old to learn guitar. I was wrong. TVMA had me playing real songs — songs I recognized — in the first few weeks. No boring exercises, just music."
"My son joined wanting to play bass like his favorite bands. Now he's jamming with a group of other TVMA kids on weekends. This place builds real community."
"Unlike the franchise schools, there's no cookie-cutter curriculum. My instructor adjusted the lesson plan after just talking with me for five minutes. I felt heard."
