Who we are
Anchorage Music & Dance Center is celebrating 30 years of private & group music instruction and 15 years of dance!
Anchorage Music & Dance Center has been teaching private music lessons for 30 years in Anchorage. Our professional staff teaches students skills that will allow them to make and create music throughout their lives!
We offer private lessons for piano, guitar, electric bass, drums, voice, cello, violin & viola to students all around the Anchorage area.
Depending on the instrument, students can start lessons as young as 5 years old. We love beginners of all ages, including adults! We have an “Open Registration” policy which means you can start lessons at any time of the year or month. There’s never a reason to wait to get started.
Lesson times are available Monday through Saturday. Many families love to come to our studio because they can schedule multiple children at the same time with different teachers, on different instruments. That saves families hours of driving time each week!
Click the instrument you are interested in to see available teachers, lesson days and times.
Our teachers use the innovative program, LessonMate to send our students video demonstrations and lesson information for students to review in between their regularly scheduled lesson times. If a student misses a lesson, their teacher will send them their lesson over the LessonMate system so the student doesn't miss out that week, and never falls behind. Anchorage Music & Dance Center gives LessonMate accounts for FREE to all our enrolled students!
We think the secret to success is to have fun while you are learning, and to have the opportunity to perform. We offer multiple recitals and performance opportunities throughout the year. We host them in our performance space, located on site. Our recitals are low pressure affairs where students feel comfortable sharing their talents with family and friends
Our teachers are professional musicians with performance & teaching experience. Most have, or are completing, music performance degrees or music education degrees. Our teachers know how to relate to each student to help them master skills that create results-- all while having fun making music! (See "Our Music Teacher" for details)
It is important to choose a studio that can assist you with questions about schedules, recitals, etc., even if a teacher is busy with a student. As with our dance teachers, our music teachers are not bogged down with administrative duties. Their job is to teach and make sure your child is happy and learning new skills. We have an excellent office staff on hand during regular business hours and lesson times to help you with all your questions.

We are a unique school offering quality private & group music and dance classes at one convenient location. Multiple students from the same family can take private or group music lessons and dance classes on the same day. That means parents only have to drive to one location for everyone's lessons & classes. What a time saver for the entire family!
We work with most all homeschool & charter schools in the State of Alaska. We are a direct bill vendor which means we invoice the school, so there is no "out-of-pocket" expense for the family!
Our network of schools include: Family Partnership; Frontier Charter School; PAIDEIA; IDEA; Mat-Su Central; Twindly Bridge; Denali Peak, PACE, CyberLynx & Raven.
