ABOUT US The Burnett School of Music offers masterclasses and lessons for all ages and abilities. Featuring effective applied music lesson programs and progressive courses, The Burnett School of Music understands that the art of applied instrumental musical performance is most effectively learned and passed along by experienced musicians sharing knowledge with newer players. We do this by successfully using progressive and unique methods to codify complex subject matter. WHAT WE DO The Burnett School of Music was founded in 1983 to empower students to become competent musicians whether music was to be a career or simply a passion. If you don't understand what the musical language is asking your to do, you will never be a competent musician. Most people never become competent musicians. The Burnett School of Music has solved that by offering courses that build the baseline competencies required to understand then perform any style of music at a "professional" level. REAL WORLD LEARNING o We have a proven 40-year track record of successful students in the real world. o Learning musical competencies involve mastering finite lessons. o Expect several weeks to applied mastery of subject matter. o Based in the Kansas City metropolitan area.
