Musik Studio Central Iowa
Passion Studios is a playing-based music lesson studio located in Ankeny, Iowa, offering piano, guitar, ukulele, drum and early childhood music lessons. We are proud to be among the top 1% of instruction schools for Simply Music students internationally!
Our multi-sensory approach through the Simply Music method has students playing 30-50 songs with both hands in their first year, so that every student experiences a unique sense of discovery, accomplishment and companionship.
At the core of all we do, we believe everyone has their own unique musical voice, and we exist to unlock it.
What our Students love...
Follow Us:
Our students LOVE their lessons!
Why? Here's 10 reasons...
One
Our students play 30-50 classical, jazz, blues and accompaniment songs right away from their FIRST lessons. We teach piano, guitar, bass, ukulele, drums and early childhood music.
Students play what they love, and love what they play!
Two
Each and every student is met exactly where they are, able to be uniquely themselves through freedom of expression and creativity in their musicality, with a world of possibilities in music!
Three
Our methods are based on single thought processes and isolated events through a multi-sensory approach. It's completely natural. They know that they CAN play the instrument, week after week after week!
Four
With the songs we have learned as a context, we reverse engineer the songs onto the page to learn how to read music.
This is natural, just like learning a language! It sets students up for success with reading music as they progress.
Five
We involve parents in our learning process, so that they know exactly what we're doing and what we will be achieving. This keeps student's confidence high at home and in the classroom.
Six
Our students thrive in camaraderie and friendship throughout their lessons. Each student becomes inspired through their classmates, and in turn inspires others. We all have different strengths!
Seven
Our students get audios and videos to work with each week, equipping them for a band or ensemble environment.
Eight
We seek out supplemental, optional musical opportunities for our students to participate in if music is their "thing".
We've gone to Ronald McDonald House, Suites of Ankeny Assisted Living Center, played on our front steps, played on a float for the Ankeny Summerfest Parade, and much more!
Nine
All students may participate in a virtual lesson for the day if they need it for sick days, vacation or snow days. We have a camera on our teacher and our instrument.
Ten
Our students never forget an assignment with MyMusicStaff! All assignments, instructions, links, media and practice material is housed in this web-based app.
This also helps us know exactly where each student is, and how to specifically help them each week. Each student can also message their teacher in app for any questions throughout the week!
