About
Edge Music Academy offers music lessons that include piano, violin, guitar, ukulele, bass guitar, voice, and drum/percussion lessons. The program also includes bands, ensembles, and performances, including pro-level shows at real music venues with lighting and sound.
• Ages: 5–18 years old
Edge Music Academy opened in 2021 and is family-owned and operated. The program is described as more than a lesson studio and as a home for musicians who want to learn, connect, and create with purpose. It follows structured programs for every age and instrument with curated oversight and designated goals, and it offers lessons in a variety of formats to help students feel comfortable and welcome.
Every teacher passes a rigorous audition on each instrument they teach, has formal music training, and the school does not hire beginners. Most teachers have taught elsewhere previously, and the program is director-led with clear educational progress tracking. An Artistic Director and Area Director review assigned homework and curriculum implementation to ensure alignment with the school’s standards. Lesson plans incorporate formal music skills along with how to play students’ favorite songs, and each lesson includes notes and practice tracking sent through a 24/7 student portal, which also offers makeups for lessons.
Edge Music Academy states that it was created with a vision to create a better kind of music school rooted in high standards, a structured curriculum, and a commitment to artistic integrity. Its mission is to build a vibrant musical community where students are challenged, empowered, and celebrated for who they are and how they grow. The academy states that music has the power to spark creativity, build critical thinking skills, and equip students with tools they need for life. It also states that students learn life skills such as time management, sympathy, empathy, self esteem, critical thinking, and confidence.
The school operates with a 100% education-focused business model and is not retail-first. Bands are set up in a balanced and thoughtful way with no multiples of instruments, and performances are intentionally designed to feel exciting and are held at real venues with real audiences. The school is described as “EXCELLENT Based on 33 reviews,” with Trustindex verifying that the original source of the reviews is Google.
Edge Music Academy has a philanthropic arm that built and maintains free instrument libraries at multiple public libraries. It offers classes at a variety of partnership locations such as libraries and park districts and has a list of community partners. The academy states it is proud to be part of thriving communities that value the arts and local business.
Parents describe positive experiences in Google reviews, noting music lessons in piano, violin, and guitar, and mentioning that teachers are great, engaging, supportive, and encouraging. Reviews mention that classes are always on time, the space is always clean and inviting, and that specific instructors, including Jason and Corey, are knowledgeable, patient, and helpful. Multiple reviewers state that they highly recommend Edge Music Academy or had a great experience with the program. Founder Jason Thompson is mentioned by name, along with leadership roles titled Artistic Director and Area Director.
