Welcome to Stickandstrum Academy!
We are more than MUSIC LESSONS...
We are more than MUSIC LESSONS...
We are a community studio.
You can feel it as soon as you walk through the door. We're different. Our warm, inviting lobby encourages students and parents to hang around. It is not unusual for teachers or students to just come and hang out....even on days they don't have lessons!
So, schedule a tour to come and see why students love to be at our studio each week.

We believe in doing simple things at a high level.
We're not here to overwhelm you. You want to learn how to play and we're going to get you there.
We take simple concepts and show you how to apply them across a diversity of songs and genres.

You get out what you put in.
Some of our students are casual and just looking for an after school activity. Others are serious musicians that will go on to be professional musicians, educators, or work in the music business. We are here to inspire and challenge you.
We are here to meet you where you are and take you to the next level.

Our teachers ROCK. Plain and simple
Some of them have music degrees. Others are in bands that play locally and nationally. Some teach music or choir in local schools.
But one thing unites them: they are amazing musicians that are dedicated to passing their love of music on to the next generation.
Our teachers are fun, inspiring, challenging, laid-back, and awesome.

Convenient Riverchase Location
Stickandstrum Academy is located on Old Montgomery Highway near the intersection of 261 and 275 next door to Sports Trucks and across the street from Riverchase Automotive. We have easy access from Hoover, Pelham, Alabaster, and Helena and i65 is just a couple of miles down the road for those traveling further distances. We have students from as far as Leeds, McCalla, and Chelsea so our central location is great for almost everyone!
