Frisco School of Music and Performing Arts opened in the fall of 2000 and has taught over 12,000 students since it opened. As Frisco’s original music and performing arts school, it has had over 10,000 students take lessons there and is described as the largest music and performing arts school in the city, with more students taking lessons there than anywhere else in Frisco. The school’s full-time mission is teaching music, art, and musical theatre.
The campus has two buildings totaling over 15,000 square feet with 33 teaching studios, including a state-of-the-art performance hall with professional lighting, sound, and video called FriscoPAC. Lesson studios are fully stocked with amps, stereos, full acoustic drum kits, keyboards, pianos, mics, staging, mirrors, professional art supplies, and more, and include sound-resistant studios and observation windows, with glass windows on lesson rooms and security cameras in all rooms. The school features 28 private and group teaching studios (six of the group studios morph into a 175-seat performance hall), a comfortable waiting room area with WiFi, and a professional registration area.
Over 45 teachers provide instruction, all with university training and/or professional performance experience. Chris Duncan is the Director/Owner and has over 35 years of teaching and consulting experience, has written several books, and is a bestselling author on Amazon. The school is open six days a week from morning until night, with FSMPA teaching hours by appointment and office hours that include weekday, Saturday, and Sunday times, and homeschoolers can use early afternoon lesson times.
Frisco School of Music and Performing Arts has been voted “Best in Education” by Frisco Style Magazine and is the only school of its kind that received this recognition. It is an Official Safety Plan Music School and has a Family Safety Plan that includes glass windows on lesson rooms, full-time office staff, extensive background checks of all teachers and staff, security cameras in all rooms, and an open-door policy for parents. The school is described as Frisco’s #1 choice for music, dance, and musical theatre and has a proven track record of offering quality lessons year round.
The program offers the widest range of lessons and classes available in one location, including music, art, dance, and musical theatre. Teachers have an iPad in every studio to incorporate learning apps and sample video examples. The waiting area includes chairs, Wi-Fi, and video class monitors, and parents have the option to sit in on private music lessons, with observation windows on every door.
Students have access to more than 24 yearly events in music, art, dance, and musical theatre. Beginning group music lab classes include a Group Student Performance Week for parents several times per year.
