Whether you are a child or adult beginning or continuing your musical journey, we want to partner with you as you seek to attain musical excellence that impacts your community and the world. As an extension of the mission of Sagebrush Church, we desire to be a front door for the community to have a life changing experience while pursuing their God-given gifts. SMA specializes in modern instruments including piano, drums, guitar, bass, and voice with the aim of creating functional and flexible musicians who can perform at a high level in a variety of situations. When students learn at SMA they not only learn how to play an instrument, but to make music with others. Students learn from an instructor and peers alike within a group lesson format. This accelerates progress as the students challenge and encourage one another.
If you are seeking the highest quality in musical education for a reasonable price, then fill out the interest form below and begin your journey with Sagebrush Music Academy.
All classes are held at the Sagebrush Music Academy 6420 Coors Blvd 87120
Music Foundations is a fun, engaging 30-minute class designed to introduce 5–6-year-olds to the world of music. Through singing, movement, games, storytelling, and world music, students explore essential musical concepts while discovering how music is part of everyday life.
Our goal is to build confidence, spark creativity, and show every child that they can be a musician —all while laying the foundation for a lifelong love of music.
$150 per semester ($40 per month)
If your student has shown interest in music but has little to no experience with a specific instrument, this is the perfect place to start. During our 16-week semester, students choose one focus area — rhythm, drums, piano, vocals, or guitar — and gain hands-on experience while learning foundational music concepts.
The goal of this course is to help students discover their strengths and interests before committing to long-term instrument study. An added benefit for families is that there’s no need to purchase an instrument during the first year of music education.
$225 per semester ($60 per month)
