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. Welcome back! I hope all is well and that you all are settling into your back-to-school schedules nicely. 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.
News! We are so excited to announce that we are expanding! The unit adjacent to our "West Wing" just became available, and we added another 700 sq feet to our facility on September 1st. The new expansion will bring about another 2 rooms and a retail space, which means more prime time lesson availabilities between 3:30pm-8pm for our students. Two spaces are available now! Thank you all for choosing WCMA and making this possible!
Now Offering Music Fun Time! Music FunTime is a unique and proven-effective preschool and young child music classes for children 18 months to 7 years of age. The structured, comprehensive curriculum incorporates music theory (reading staff music, rhythm, note values, time signatures, etc.) and application (playing rhythm instruments, keyboard, sing along, music appreciation, movement). It accesses children's learning through their brain's 'play center,' using themed games, attractive visuals, and delightful auditory aids that make learning exciting and fun. Kids look forward to it! We will most likely be integrating this program on Saturday mornings in the next 2-3 weeks. Let us know if you'd like to be added to our pre-registration list.
Vote! Vote! Vote! - Please, if you haven't done so already, vote West Chester Music Academy "Best of Music Lessons"! (Under Best Of Education). With your help, we can make it again this year! Send a screenshot of your submission to us via instagram, facebook or email & enter to win 1 month FREE Tuition! You can vote once per day! Vote multiple times for higher chances to win. It takes less than 30 seconds. Thank you! --- CLICK HERE TO VOTE
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 fall session this year as more families join our musical community. We are experiencing a recording breaking influx of students returning to WCMA, as well as, those starting 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!
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.

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! |
