"I have had my 3 children in lessons for the past 10 months, and the progress of learning is amazing. They had to be transferred from another teacher because of location, but the motivation on moving on with learning and progress appears to be much stronger at the Academy. The teacher has great ability in communicating and provides the type of program that is able to motivate my children to work on the musical parts."
- Viera Gavrishov  
"We have nothing but praise for Happy Valley Arts Academy. Our teacher is extremely gifted and talented. We are blessed to have him teach our daughter. He shows her above and beyond patience. He keeps her interested by picking music she likes and giving her lots of praise and encouragement. We appreciate all the kindness and professionalism Happy Valley Arts Academy has shown our family."
- Janelle J.
"My son started lessons at Happy Valley Arts Academy when he was newly 4, and our experience with them has been amazing! Our teacher is the most kind, talented, and patient teacher. We had to leave Happy Valley Arts Academy for a short time, and we never did find another teacher that was as loving and gentle and clearly meant to teach young children to not only play but love the piano. I have also always thoroughly enjoyed the recitals Aria puts on, and I hope we can stay with Happy Valley Arts Academy for the duration of my son's piano experience!  
Thank you Happy Valley Arts Academy!"

"My 5-year-old son is enjoying his piano lessons so much. His teacher is so patient, and she knows how to make the lesson interesting. Chloe (the staff at the reception desk) is so nice and very accommodating. She is really qualified to be in the front row. Overall, we love the school and my son is learning a lot."
​Juliet Panganiban
"My child started taking piano lessons at Happy Valley Arts Academy just three months ago, and it's amazing how much he has learned and grown. He spent two years taking lessons at another music school, and it just never clicked-- he was rarely excited about practicing or learning new pieces and was not making progress. We were ready to give up but thought we'd try your school, and suddenly everything changed. The system at Happy Valley Arts Academy really works! My son is now reading music and is motivated to practice every day. He gets excited about his lessons! Thank you! :-)"
Patti Duncan
"We adore the staff!!! My kids look forward to every visit. The instructors and front office are very professional. My daughter has learned music theory, can read music notes on a sheet, and plays the piano with proper form within 2 months. I highly recommend this place. A great investment in your child’s future."

What makes us so different?

Piano, Guitar, Drums, Voice & Violin ALL IN ONE convenient location

This saves our students time and money, as one family can take multiple instruments on the same day. Other studios offer multiple instruments, but we are the only one to offer all of the most popular instruments in a high quality, convenient environment. 
We welcome all beginners and all levels--no matter what your age! Adults - click here for more info

A Proven Track Record of Excellence Since 2009

When students take lessons with us, they tend to stick around for a long time. Happy Valley Arts Academy has a proven track record of offering quality music, guitar, voice, singing, piano, and drum lessons in Happy Valley year-round. Our full-time mission is teaching music lessons trusted by over 1,000 families for over 10 years.

A Comfortable Waiting Area Just For YOU

Tired of waiting in your car for children's classes to finish? Parents have the option of waiting for their children's lesson in our comfortable waiting area with a TV, kids playing area, and Wi-fi. If you prefer, you can sit in on their lesson anytime you like.

The Most Technologically Advanced & Beautifully Designed Music Lesson Rooms in Oregon

Our rooms are stocked with everything you need for music lessons, including amps, stereos, full electronic drum kits, keyboards, pianos, and more. All you need to bring is your instrument. We have spent thousands of dollars on our studio to offer soundproofing and large observation windows.

Technology is also a big part of lessons at the Happy Valley Arts Academy, and we have installed LED monitors in every classroom at the school.  The monitors have cables that can attach to iPods, iPads, or laptops. This allows students to have a modern and engaging lesson using music teaching apps, music software, Skype, and more. Feel free to "Bring Your Own Device" to your lesson in addition to your instrument! No other school in Portland offers this technology.
One of the things that has really set us apart is our focus on providing lessons that are fresh, new, and engaging.  There are so many great teaching apps out there now that we felt we had to update our teaching rooms with LED monitors.  By doing so, our students have never run the risk of being bored with their lessons.  It's a challenge to engage children or adults, but by integrating technology such as teaching apps from the iTunes store, GarageBand, ProTools, you name it, we're providing a cutting edge lesson experience in the Happy Valley area.​

Free Music Recitals Every 6 Months in a Convenient Location

Every parent just wants to know how their child is doing and if they are really progressing. The best way for a parent to understand if their investment in lessons is really worth it is to have their child participate in a recital. 

In June and November, many of our students choose to perform in our biannual recitals. These recitals are free, and unlike many schools in Portland, we do not charge recital participation or admission fees.

Happy Office Staff to Serve You 7 Days a Week

We strive to bring you the best customer service possible, 7 days a week. We are continually adding hours to ensure that our staff is able to assist you when you call or come to the studio! Excellent customer service is what sets us apart!​

We Give Away More Awards & Surprises Than Any Other School

Every month there is an opportunity to earn awards and prizes. Whether it is a coloring contest or guessing how much candy is in the jar, students can win gift cards to their favorite frozen yogurt place or another restaurant. We also give away big prizes for contests including movie tickets, free trips, or even a brand new iPad!

Early Morning & Mid-Day Lessons For Homeschoolers, Retirees, College Students & Working Professionals 

Since we are the largest music school in the Northwest, we are able to be a 'full service' music school. This allows us to offer lessons as early as 9 a.m. and we see many students between the hours of 11 a.m.-2 p.m. If you are a homeschool parent, retiree, college student, or working professional who has a flexible schedule, take advantage of our early morning and lunchtime lesson spots.​

Conveniently Located Right on Sunnyside Road

Due to its central location, our school is convenient to all areas of Happy Valley and only about 7 minutes from the Clackamas Town Center. Close to our school, you will find great shopping (Including Starbucks and the Happy Valley Library).

Month to Month Lessons

When you sign up with us, you are not required to sign a contract for a whole term or semester. We offer month to month agreements because we believe that we have to prove our value to you every month. 

We Are the Only School in Oregon That Offers a Picture Day For Their Students.

Every six months, we host a free picture day with a professional photographer. We want to celebrate your music and share that memory through pictures. Examples pictured on this page! Adults are welcome too! Students can bring their instruments to the photoshoot and wear whatever they like.

Lessons are on a first come, first serve basis.
