Welcome

Nestled at the southern end of downtown, Americana Music Academy offers group and private music lessons in a relaxed setting with some of the region's most notable pickers, players and songwriters. In addition, Americana provides Music Therapy for the disabled community in Lawrence and the greater Kansas City area. Americana is also building Kansas’s first American Roots Music Archive.

In the future the Academy will provide music outreach programs, first for Northeast Kansas and later for the entire state.

Americana is doing more than just teaching music lessons. It is creating a regional folk life center so that Lawrence and the surrounding cities and towns will have greater access to the musical folk culture of this area.

SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE!

We are committed that people who want to create music have the opportunity to do so and that, as far as possible, money not be a barrier to that. We have some scholarship money available, and also work-study opportunities. So please contact Thom Alexander, our director, to discuss these opportunities, if money worries are keeping you or your family members from taking lessons. And if you want to contribute to our scholarship fund, please let Thom know. Email americana66044@yahoo.com.
