Update From Director Nick Doak!
Read the latest update from Director Nick Doak:

Hi everybody!  It’s Nick Doak, Director of West Chester Music Academy, with another monthly update.  Enrollment is at an all time high -- Over 300+ students!  We are so thankful to be able to serve the West Chester community and beyond with our love and passion for teaching music.  Thank you parents and students for the opportunity each week.

Say it ain't so: We are just a month away from the start of school again!  Where did the time go?  Hopefully, you all are able to get in some more beach or family time in before the upcoming school year starts. With the new school year approaching, please do not hesitate to contact us to reserve your spot with us in the Fall if you took off during the Summer.  With enrollment on the rise, we expect another jamming late summer/fall session this year as more families join our musical community. We are going to have a recording breaking influx of students returning to WCMA soon, as well as, those looking to start their musical journey with us.  Contact the office as soon as possible to snag those remaining prime time slots between 3:30pm - 8pm Monday through Friday and/or any of our weekend times too!. 484-508-5895 or info@wcmusicacademy.com. We cannot wait to see you!  

For those taking vacations in August, here is a reminder of our awesome make-up lesson policy.  It is truly the most flexible and beneficial music education program in West Chester.  Never miss out!  Here's how to take advantage of our make-up lesson policy if you cannot make your scheduled weekly lesson:

4 great options for you:

1. Zoom in for your lesson at your scheduled lesson time, or

2. Receive a customized recorded video lesson, or

3. Attend any of our hour-long group make-up lessons held every weekend, or 

4. Sublease your spot to a family member or friend.

And, don't forget about our referral program. If you refer a friend or family member to us, we'll give you your choice of: $25 to Target, $25 to Amazon, or FREE additional lesson voucher. Whichever you prefer!  Be sure to refer your family and friends, and thank you for your referrals.  

Finally, of course we want to thank our WCMA families.  Thank you, students and parents, for sticking by us, for referring your friends, and helping us get to our next milestone.  We'll see you next time at West Chester Music Academy.

CONGRATS ROCKERS! 

 

West Chester Music Academy is the ONLY music school in southeastern PA that gives their students the opportunity to earn special color wristband bracelets (kids and teens love them!), trophies AND certificates for passing musical tests with the Musical Ladder System®. It has been awarded multiple patents and is being used by schools nationwide. Do other schools offer trophies and certificates? A few. But none of them inspire their students with smiling faces by giving them full color, really cool "Musical Ladder System®" wristbands that they can show off to their friends. 

New to the WCMA? -- Read below to find out more about The Musical Ladder System.

The Musical Ladder System® is a national music lesson award system proven to help students get excited about music and keep parents 'informed' as to how they are doing.

Similar to karate belt tests, every 3 months or so your teacher will schedule a test for you or your child. If the students passes the test, they will receive one of these really cool wristbands for their level. They also get a certificate of achievement.
This program has been proven for years to bring a smile to parents and students and we're very excited about enhancing your music lesson experience.  At certain levels they also get personalized trophies with their name on it.

This system also comes complete with the Musical Ladder System® Parent/Student Portal so you can log in online and see when the next test is, recital, send notes to your teachers, review past lesson notes and more!  This will take parent communication to the next level!

The best part?  It's all FREE for you, our valued clients.  Most karate schools charge their clients $50.00 per test....PER test!  However, all of your wristbands, trophies, certificates and online accounts are all FREE and part of your WCMA tuition.

Now, it's time to start climbing the Musical Ladder!
