Passion Studios

Situated in the vibrant city of Ankeny, Iowa, Passion Studios stands as a premier music lesson academy, dedicated to nurturing and developing the innate musicality of students of all ages. As a playing-based music lesson studio, we offer a wide range of instrumental lessons, including piano, guitar, ukulele, drums, and early childhood music education. Our passion lies in cultivating an inclusive, engaging, and fun learning environment where students can unlock their unique musical voice.

Empowering Students Through the Simply Music Method

At Passion Studios, we are proud to be among the top 1% of instruction schools for Simply Music students internationally. The Simply Music method is a revolutionary multi-sensory approach that enables students to play 30-50 songs with both hands in their first year, ensuring a strong foundation in musicianship and fostering a deep love for the art form. With this fresh and dynamic approach, our students experience a one-of-a-kind sense of discovery, accomplishment, and companionship as they explore the world of music.

Tailored Lessons for Every Student

Key to our philosophy is the belief that each student is unique and deserving of a personalized learning experience. Our dedicated team of instructors works diligently to meet students exactly where they are, encouraging them to express themselves authentically through freedom and creativity. This world of possibilities in music creates a nurturing environment, enabling our students to flourish and become confident, expressive, and well-rounded musicians.

Engaging, Natural Music Learning

Our teaching methods are based on single thought processes and isolated events through a multi-sensory approach, making learning to play an instrument as natural as possible. We reverse-engineer the songs we've learned onto the page, enabling students to learn how to read music in a context that feels natural, just like learning a language. Our incremental approach keeps students motivated and inspired, setting them up for long-term success as they progress in their musical journey.

The Power of Community

At Passion Studios, we believe that learning music is a social endeavor. Our students thrive in an environment of camaraderie and friendship, drawing inspiration from their classmates and inspiring others in turn. We proudly foster a strong sense of community, which in turn strengthens our students' confidence, creativity, and musicianship.

Cultivating a Love for Music

Ultimately, our goal at Passion Studios is to create an environment where our students play what they love and love what they play. By offering a diverse range of instruments and curriculums, we can cater to every student's individual tastes and preferences, ensuring that their musical passion shines brightly. We invite you to join the Passion Studios family and embark on an exciting, engaging, and fulfilling musical journey.
