We’re Elevating Music Education
Behind every lesson is a promise of excellence because families entrust us with something precious: their child’s musical education.
We emphasize a contemporary and comprehensive approach to music education. We want your child to learn valuable musicianship skills, and to enjoy the process.
We believe teaching is a calling, music thrives in community, and every student’s journey is unique. We meet students where they are, honor trust, and put families first—creating lessons that inspire, connections that last, and experiences that matter.
Explore our MUSIC Philosophy below—five guiding principles our founders, teachers, and staff are dedicated to living out every day.
-

More than a Job
Teaching is our passion.
Every lesson matters because every lesson shapes a life. We invest deeply in students, inspiring growth, performance, and a lifelong love of music. It is an honor to teach. -

Undeniably Personable
No one gets anywhere alone.
Music thrives in community. We build connection through concerts, enrichment courses, masterclasses, and shared experiences—bringing students and teachers together. -

Student-Centric
Meet students where they are.
Every student’s journey is unique. We blend traditional music education structure, with the student’s area of interest (because we actually want them to practice, and enjoy it!). Pop, rock, classical, musical theatre, worship - we do it ALL. -

Integrity
Trust is our foundation.
We honor commitments, are honest about finances, value clear communication, and maintain professional boundaries—because how we serve matters as much as what we teach. -

Client Satisfacation
Creating moments that matter.
From private lessons, to scheduling, to concerts, we put kindness, clarity, and excellence first—making every interaction a positive experience for families and students alike. -

At Westlake Music Academy,
MUSIC is more than an acronym—it’s our promise. We make music together, and we make a difference.
”The musical chops of these teachers is superior and the Academy is a well-organized operation, but I am most happy with the encouraging, nurturing environment that they give to my nervous, anxious child.”
- Margo W.
Check out a typical year in WMA:
Beyond private lessons, performance opportunities are at the heart of what we offer—because making music together is better.
“My voice has grown tremendously and I feel I have gained so much vocal strength and expansion. I would highly recommend Westlake Music Academy to anyone considering vocal training.”
- Briana B
