Discover the magic of music at The Artful Musician, Provo’s premier music school! Since 2021, we’ve been inspiring students of all ages to awaken their inner musician. Our unique, voice-focused approach, grounded in the Kodály philosophy, cultivates strong musical foundations, confident expression and collaborative social interaction.

Why Take Our Classes?

Have you or someone you know ever started instrument lessons, only to quit before making real progress? This is a common experience—especially for young learners—because they're often expected to read and write music while simultaneously figuring out how to move their fingers, hands, mouth, or feet to play an instrument. Trying to learn everything at once can lead to overwhelm, frustration, and ultimately, giving up.

At The Artful Musician Music School, we take a different approach. We teach the fundamentals of music notation using the most natural instrument we have—our voice. By learning to understand and internalize music through singing first, students build a solid musical foundation. Then, when it's time to pick up an instrument, they can focus solely on how it works—making the transition smoother, more enjoyable, and far less frustrating.

What Do Classes Look Like?

Our classes are filled with exciting singing games and folk songs, which serve as the “building blocks” for developing essential musical skills in a playful and welcoming environment. Movement and artistic expression are woven into every lesson, making music learning a full-body, creative experience.

Hands-on activities using notation manipulatives provide concrete ways for students to explore music concepts, while vibrant visuals spark curiosity and draw children into the world of music notation. A unique rhythm language and solfège (do, re, mi) system help make reading and understanding music approachable and fun.

Students also deepen their musical knowledge by exploring the works and lives of great composers and experiencing the rich traditions of music from cultures around the world. These foundational skills prepare students to succeed in any musical path—whether instrumental or vocal.
