Coming Soon
The brand-new PSO Academy is under the umbrella of the Paducah Symphony Orchestra and provides affordable music instruction to children and adults in a community music school setting. For the last 2-3 years, the former Walter Jetton Junior High School has been under renovation to serve as a space to house the Academy, PSO offices, and renewed Symphony Hall. Renovations are soon to be complete and we plan to open for instruction in August 2024. The PSO Academy is excited to offer private instruction in all orchestral/band instruments as well as voice. Instruction is taught by PSO musicians and other area professionals.

Priority is always given to students registering at least one month before the beginning of a semester. When studio space permits, students may begin lessons at any time of year up until the beginning of the term. Late additions will be considered on a case-by-case basis and tuition will be prorated.
*Please complete the Registration Form for placement with a teacher.
*Each new student requesting lessons will be assigned to an instructor.
Requests for a particular teacher will be honored when possible. Once the assignment has been made, the school administrator will contact you to determine your lesson day and time. If a change of instructor is recommended by the instructor, or desired by a student or parent, the issue should be discussed by instructor and student, and then referred to the Academy Director.
