Valley Music Academy

Valley Music Academy is a non-profit 501c3 music school located in the heart of Waynesboro, VA. Our mission is to provide quality music education to all in our community, regardless of gender, race, creed, or financial resources. We are committed to demonstrating that music is a powerful means of encouraging cooperation, celebrating diversity, building self-esteem, and cultivating an understanding of nonviolence and social justice.

Our Services

At VMA, we offer top-quality private lessons and group instruction to students of all ages on nearly every instrument and voice. Our experienced and dedicated teachers provide instruction on a wide range of instruments, including piano, guitar, voice, violin, viola, cello, bass, flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, and more. We also offer group classes such as Musikgarten, Junior Jams, and Rock Band Workshop.

In addition to our regular lessons and classes, we offer opportunities to underserved students in our community through affordable tuition, low-cost outreach programs, and financial aid. We believe that everyone should have access to high-quality music education, regardless of their financial situation.

Affordable and Flexible

At VMA, we understand that music education should be accessible to everyone, which is why we offer affordable tuition and flexible scheduling. We offer lessons Monday through Friday until 9 PM and some Saturday mornings. Daytime lessons are available for homeschool students and adults. We work with families to coordinate multiple lessons and teachers whenever possible. We also offer convenient auto-payment by credit card and a secure scheduling and billing platform through My Music Staff. All students have online access to their account, lesson schedules, payment history, and more. If you prefer the old-fashioned way of writing a check or paying in cash, we can accommodate that as well.

A Safe and Nurturing Environment

At VMA, we are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for all of our students. Our facility is monitored by security cameras throughout, and all of our studios are visible from the central hallway. Each of our faculty and staff undergo a thorough background check before working with VMA. We offer a waiting area for parents with free Wi-Fi, and parents are always welcome to sit in on a lesson.
