Welcome to our Musical Universe!

At Peak Music we are passionate about music and the power it can bring to a community. Our focus is on real music education and empowering aspiring and seasoned musicians to realize their goals and help them reimagine what is possible.

Our space is a fully functioning recording studio and rehearsal/performance space equipped with private lesson rooms and state of the art equipment (pictures coming soon!) Our goal is to foster an environment of learning, creativity and free expression for musicians of all ages. It doesn’t matter if you have recorded your own albums or have never picked up an instrument. We have programming for all ages and abilities taught by a fun, eager and expert staff.

We offer a range of programming from private lessons to group classes and workshops. We have performance based groups and plan on adding songwriting and audio production programs in the future. Our space can also be rented out as a rehearsal space or to record your band’s next project.

Check out the details on what we are currently offering by visiting our programs page.
