Whether you are a beginner exploring music for the first time or an advanced musician looking to refine your skills, our mission is to help each student unlock their full potential.

 

Here’s why Minton’s Academy of Music stands out as the premier choice for music education:

 

The Most Comprehensive Music Education in Loudoun County

 

We provide expert instruction across a variety of disciplines—including piano, voice, strings, woodwinds, guitar, drums, and early childhood music development—all in one convenient location. This allows families to save time and money by scheduling multiple lessons on the same day. While other schools may offer a selection of instruments, we are one of the few in the area to offer a complete range of instrumental and vocal instruction under one roof.

 

Exceptional, Experienced Instructors

 

Our faculty consists of highly trained musicians with backgrounds in conservatory education, professional performance, and real-world experience. Each instructor is committed to tailoring lessons to meet the unique goals and interests of their students. With a supportive and friendly approach, our teachers create an inspiring environment that fosters growth and confidence in musicians of all levels.

 

A Proven Track Record of Excellence

 

With over 23 years of success and 8,000+ students taught, we have built a reputation for delivering high-quality music education. Unlike retail stores that offer lessons as a secondary service, Minton’s Academy of Music is fully dedicated to music instruction. Visit our website to see testimonials from students and parents who have experienced the impact of our teaching firsthand.

 

Convenient Location & Flexible Scheduling

 

Located in Ashburn, VA, on Red Rum Drive, we are easily accessible with ample parking available. We understand that busy schedules require flexibility, which is why we offer a wide range of lesson times—including early afternoon, evening, and morning hours for our Music Fun Time preschool program.

 

Month-to-Month Lessons—No Long-Term Commitments

 

We operate on a month-to-month basis, meaning students are never locked into long-term contracts. Our flexible make-up policy also ensures that you won’t miss out on valuable instruction.

 

Generous Family Discounts

 

We offer discounts of up to 10% for families with multiple students or lessons, making music education more accessible for everyone.

 

A State-of-the-Art Facility

 

Our 6,000 sq. ft. modern facility includes seven spacious, soundproof lesson rooms, each equipped with a window view for parents to observe lessons. Students and families can relax in our comfortable waiting area, which features WiFi, seating, and a weekly movie on our 60” TV screens. Additionally, our in-house theater hosts recitals, concerts, and performances throughout the year.

 

Multiple Performance Opportunities

 

Performance is an essential part of musical development, and we provide numerous opportunities throughout the year for students to showcase their talents, including:

 

•    Recitals featuring a baby grand piano

•    Monthly jazz jams open to all musicians (even non-students!)

•    Open mic nights and LCPS student showcases

•    House Band and Studio M performances

 

These events are designed to be low-pressure and optional, giving students a chance to build confidence while having fun.

 

Family-Owned & Community-Oriented

 

As a family-owned business, we are deeply committed to our local community. We proudly support Loudoun County schools through scholarships, charity performances, and community outreach initiatives.

 

Referral Rewards Program

 

We love when our students share their experiences! For every friend you refer who enrolls in lessons, you receive one free lesson—with no limit on how many free lessons you can earn.
