Who We Are
Owner Tamriko Siprashvili, an internationally recognized, award-winning concert
pianist, founded the Inspire Academy of Music and Arts so that she could
share her passion for music and the arts with students of all ages and levels.
Tamriko has gathered an outstanding faculty of like-minded teachers who are
united in their goal of inspiring and challenging students to experience
the joy of music, develop a lifelong love for the arts, and fully express
themselves with musicianship and artistry.
What We Offer
We are committed to creating an entertaining but challenging environment
for students with interests in music and the arts. Our academy offers
group and private lessons in piano, guitar, voice, violin, cello, music
theory, and art. Group piano lessons for young children (ages 4–6) follow
the Music
for Little Mozarts (MLM)
curriculum, a fun, imaginative series that helps children develop singing
and listening skills, as well as an appreciation for many musical styles.
Designed to encourage a love for music, each MLM lesson centers on the
adventures of Beethoven Bear and Mozart Mouse as they learn about music.
New students with prior music lesson experience will be evaluated to
ensure proper class placement.
Special Group Piano Classes
We
have tailored special classes to accommodate the demands of busy
athletes. Our complement
of classes for adults and seniors has also been popular. Bring your friends
to learn piano together or join groups we have already created. Read
more about these programs on our Links page.
Our Academy’s Guiding Principles
We strive to create a warm, nurturing, and inspiring musical and artistic
environment, no matter the student’s age, level, instrument, or style
interests. We believe that people—both children and adults—learn best
in small groups so that they can interact with others and be challenged
by their peers. However, we understand that some individuals may prefer
private lessons, so we constantly work with our students to find the
class setting that will help them do their best. We believe in positive
reinforcement and have created a curriculum and environment where all
students thrive and are encouraged to achieve their full musical and
artistic potential.
Summer 2010
Join us this summer for a continuation of our introduction to the composers!
Summer 2010 will be known as the Swingin' Summer here at Inspire as we
introduce students to the composers from the 1900s through the 1950s.
Ever heard of Jelly Roll Morton? Or the Glenn Miller Band? (And, by the
way, Jelly Roll Morton is not a dessert!) Join us in our quest to learn
about different genres of piano music and composers. Our 8-week
session runs from June 21 through August 14. You can sign up for both
4-week sessions or pick your weeks as your vacation schedule allows.
