BRIEF HISTORY

Established in 1996 in Southfield, Michigan, Axis Music Instruction Studios began as a tiny, four-studio guitar lesson business. Over the following few years, founder and Musicians Institute graduate John Antone molded what is now known as Axis Music Academy, expanding to new lesson programs, over 10 other instruments, 12 private lesson studios, a classroom and recital space, and 4 offices for administration and development.

In 2004, an academy was opened in Canton, Michigan, which houses Axis Music Institute, Michigan’s first and only licensed and certified trade school for music. Expansion in Southfield in 2010-2011 included a state-of-the-art recording studio, an even larger classroom and live stage, new technology and resources, and the introduction of several exciting new programs to your growing menu of options.

Plans for opening our Birmingham location in December 2011 are currently underway. Contact us now for your early registration special!

Our academies are always clean, organized, well-lit, and comfortable. No more basements, dark warehouses, or back rooms, and equally importantly, no distractions or sales pitches while you’re learning to play. All the music materials and gear you need are available to you at any time. Practice rooms and organized practices are available by appointment every day. We use only state-of-the-art equipment, technology, and learning tools, from books and videos to digital music files to electronics and specialized gear.

TEACHERS

All of our skilled instructors are thoroughly screened, tested, trained, and certified in the Axis Method, to provide an excellent learning experience for every one of our students. Not only are Axis Instructors world-class performers, they truly know how to explain concepts and enjoy music with students of all ages and levels.
