The Music Academy of WNC will be moving across the street from our current location to 1430 Asheville Highway in Hendersonville on Saturday, April 30, 2022. We are currently in the process of remodeling.  Our first official day at our new location will be Monday, May 2, 2022 for all private lessons, music classes, and ensembles. This 3,800 square foot, stand-alone building will accommodate our expansive growth and programs with twelve private teaching studios, a large rehearsal room for our music classes and ensembles, and plenty of parking.  The move will also give us the much needed infrastructure to offer many more music education programs all ready in the works.  We are very excited about this move and what it means for the music education community in Henderson County.  Come grow with us at the #1 Choice, Best Value, and LARGEST Music School in Hendersonville!
