14 Benefits of Becoming an
Elkhart School of Music Student
Elkhart School of Music Student
1.
1. Piano, Guitar, Violin, Drums, Voice, Ukulele, Mandolin, Clarinet, Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone, Baritone Horn, Euphonium, Tuba, Auto-harp, Viola, Recorder, and Mountain Dulcimer in ONE location!
We are the only school in Michiana that offers all of these popular instruments year round in one location.
2. Professional musicians and teachers make up our teaching staff.
All ESOM teachers either hold college degrees in music (sometimes multiple music degrees), have years of professional performance experience, or both. Our music teachers are dedicated to learning about your personal musical goals and helping you to achieve them. We are confident that we have the right teacher to meet your music lesson needs. In addition to their teaching credentials, our teachers have warm personalities, are extremely friendly and dedicated to teaching you the style of music that you want to learn in your music lesson.
3. Music lesson times available five days a week!
We offer music lessons six days a week to accommodate your busy schedule.
12:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Monday - Thursday.
8:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays
4. A proven track record of excellence since 2006
Every year, aspiring music teachers start their own studio, and a year or two later it’s closed. Elkhart School of Music has a proven track record of offering quality music lessons in Michiana year round. Our full time mission is teaching music lessons trusted by over 3,000 families for over twelve years.
5. A comfortable wait area for our clients.
We have a parent friendly waiting area with a coloring table/reading area for kids and fresh reading material and comfortable chairs for adults. Instead of waiting in a music retail store showroom, our clients enjoy free Wi-Fi, comfortable chairs, kids books, coloring books, and magazines. Parents are always welcome to sit in on their child’s lesson anytime they wish.
6. Fully stocked music lesson rooms!
Our rooms are stocked with everything you need for music lessons, including amps, full drum kits, pianos and more. Piano, Voice, and Drum students need only bring their printed lesson materials to lessons. All others bring their instrument as well. One of the things that sets us apart is our focus on providing lessons that are fresh, new, and engaging.
7. Music recitals!
Every parent wants to know how his child is doing. The best way for a parent to understand if his investment in lessons is really worth it is to have his child participate in a recital. At Elkhart School of Music, we hold recitals twice a year (June and December). In approximately one month's time, each performer receives a free DVD of the recital for their personal archives.
Our next recital is scheduled for: Saturday, August 15, 2020
This recital is open to the public. Admission is a minimum donation of $1.00 per person. All proceeds will go to local no-kill animal shelters. Donations will be used for vet care, supplies, and food for the animals.
8. Professional office staff seven days a week to serve you.
We are the only music school in Michiana that offers full time professional customer service for their students seven days a week. We have office team members who are available to assist our clients quickly and professionally even when the school is closed.
A competent, trained customer service representative answers phones from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1:00 to 9:00 on Sundays and holidays.
9. Trophies, certificates and award wristbands to celebrate achievement.
We are the only music school in Michiana that gives its students the opportunity to earn special color wristband bracelets (kids and teens love them!), trophies AND certificates for passing musical tests. Do other schools offer trophies and certificates? Maybe. But none of them inspire their students with smiling faces (see pictures to the right) by giving them full color, really cool “Musical Ladder” wristbands that they can show off to their friends. We are the only school in Michiana that offers The Musical Ladder System for its students
More importantly when our students have a test coming up, they practice more, their parents are proud, their teachers are proud, and everybody wins. You can only get the Musical Ladder here..
10. Books, Instruments, and Accessories.
We stock all books and supplies that our teachers use in lessons for the students convenience. We also carry a selection of new and used instruments. No need to travel miles or wait for an internet order. ESOM sells music books, instruments and accessories.
11. Located in Downtown Elkhart.
Due to its central location, our school is convenient to all areas of Michiana. Close to our school, you will find great shopping and dining. We have many students from Elkhart, Osceola, Mishawaka, Granger, Goshen, Bristol, Bremen, Nappanee, Cassopolis, Edwardsburg, and South Bend. Some even travel from as far away as Etna Green, New Carlisle, and Warsaw.
12. Picture Day
We are the only music school in Michiana that offers a picture day for its students. Twice a year we host a picture day with a professional photographer. This is a service that our student's parents love as they all want quality photos of their children. Adults are welcome too! Students may bring their instruments to the photo shoot and wear whatever they like. The sitting is free and pictures may be ordered, if desired, directly through the photographer.
13. Month to Month lessons.
A start up time of two full calendar months of lessons is required for registered students. It is NOT required that the initial two months be paid up front when the student starts. Neither are students required to start at the beginning of the month. Rather, payments are taken monthly and students may start at any time. Partial month starts will be prorated. Once a student has studied for the minimum two full calendar months, he will automatically transition to study on a month-to-month basis. For those who wish to "try out" a few lessons before committing to a devoted course of study, we've got you covered! For a slightly higher price, take as many or as few lessons as you like "a la carte". Scroll to the bottom of this page to see tuition costs.
14. In-House Rental Instruments.
We offer rental instruments to our enrolled (registered) students for at-home practice. Unlike our competitors, up to 100% of your rental fees are eligible to go toward the purchase of a new instrument. And you may purchase your instrument at any time during the rental period, even if it isn't full-sized.
