The Anderson Piano Academy is an innovative school that brings together a traditional musical foundation with modern technology to meet the needs of children of today. We believe music education should be creative, fun, and engaging. Since 2012 we’ve helped 100s of students establish a strong technical understanding while inspiring them to explore their creativity.

We are looking to bring on a teacher who is excited to share their passion for music with young learners. This is a premier program, and we want a teacher who will bring their own personality to our core curriculum in a supportive environment.
