We were founded on the belief that music education helps students build self-esteem, learn discipline and become creative thinkers - important skills necessary for being successful in academics and life. Our students come from diverse backgrounds but they all have one thing in common - the potential to be forever changed by the transformational experience of learning to play a musical instrument.

I remember years ago visiting the Thunderbird School of Global Management when they had a campus in…read morethe West Valley. And then in 2014, everything changed as Arizona State University acquired Thunderbird, and Thunderbird became a unit of the ASU Enterprise. Since that time, ASU sold its Thunderbird campus to Arizona Christian University, and the graduate programs moved to the ASU Downtown Phoenix Campus to its own building while the newly created undergraduate programs moved to the ASU West Valley Campus until 2025 when they also moved to the ASU Downtown Phoenix Campus. Every now and then, I find myself on the ASU Downtown Phoenix Campus with a meeting in the Thunderbird School of Global Management. There is the Grumpy Mule Cafe on the first floor and the Thunderbird Pub on the fifth floor. There is also the global forum on the first floor with a large digital globe suspended from the middle of the rotunda showing a digital representation of Earth. There are flags on the first floor representing the home countries of all Thunderbird students. The building, opened in 2022, spans 110,000 square feet and offers flexible classroom space and regional lounges with art and artifacts gifted by alumni from around the world. Thunderbird now serves as a significant part of the ASU Downtown Phoenix Campus, which opened for classes in 2006. This campus meshes well with the Downtown Phoenix area as they share streets, parks, and nearby restaurants and stores. In fact, ASU is actively involved in monthly stakeholder meetings with the Downtown Phoenix Inc. (DPI). It helps Downtown stakeholders in knowing what's going on at ASU while it helps ASU to know what's going on around the Downtown Phoenix area. For instance, ASU students and staff enjoy participating in First Fridays while DPI is involved in ASU Welcome Week events. Also, during Family Weekend, Thunderbird hosts Regional Night, which is open to any ASU Downtown students and their families. At the Downtown Phoenix Campus, every student can drive their own experience as they engage in the events and resources on-campus while attending classes, getting an on-campus job, landing an internship or full-time job, joining clubs and organizations, attending many free events and activities, and so much more. The Dean of Students Office (in the Post Office) and the many student services offices at ASU Downtown Phoenix are always there for students, and it's easy to find your way towards graduation and your future when taking advantage of these resources. I look forward to seeing what comes next for such an engaging school like Thunderbird and a campus such as the ASU Downtown Phoenix Campus in the coming years!

I am so thrilled to have Miciah as my piano teacher! Miciah's experience and skill as a musician…read moreshine through during our lessons, as do his teaching abilities. With ease, he is able to guide me to just the right practice pieces, and is able to quickly focus in on the lessons therein. He is patient, pleasant, and never makes me feel "on the spot" during my lesson....I make mistake after mistake and he takes it in stride and confidently guides me down the road to playing the piece accurately. I'm 100 percent comfortable during our lessons and always have a great time learning from him. In terms of his own skills, it's amazing to watch him pick up a piece of music, mark it up with the fingering in just a few seconds, and then be able to know if I'm playing it properly just by listening to me. Then he can easily demonstrate every piece (with flair) so I can hear how it should ultimately sound. His thought process is organized and clear, which makes his communication style organized and clear, which makes learning easy. As an adult learner (he teaches both adults and children), I'm probably more critical than a younger student, and I can honestly say that I've enjoyed every teaching moment with Michiah so far. I have always wanted to play the piano, and I'm thrilled to be making this dream come true.

Here's a shout out to Miciah of Dodge Music Studios for letting my son use his studio to practice…read morewhile we were visiting Phoenix. If you find it's hard to get your child to practice music at home, you'll also know how nearly impossible it is when traveling. In the past I have contacted music schools, rented instruments, and even bought a keyboard and hardcase. Each of these solutions created its own problem from the school that said we could use any open practice room only to be barged in on by a very pissed off nine-year old who insisted we were using "her" piano, to having to returned to a music store for parts missing from the keyboard we rented, to having to pay a hefty additional fee to the airline for the oversized instrument case. By good fortune I found Dodge Music when planning our trip to Phoenix. Miciah made it easy to arrange and pay for practice space but the best part was the studio itself, a nicely furnished and impeccably clean room with a well-tuned baby grand. Sure beat the shoebox sized and airless practice rooms that we had to put up with in the past using console pianos that were on their last leg. Miciah was friendly, obliging but never intrusive and let my son get on with his practice as soon as we stepped in. An added bonus was Miciah's dog Gizmo, a very gentle, short-hair dog who would hang out with us. My son is very allergic to animal dander but both the house and Gizmo were almost antiseptically clean (compare my house anyway). My son didn't have any problems with his allergies and Gizmo was a welcomed lesson companion. Even though my son wasn't taking lessons from Miciah, I can say with confidence that his studio exude a relaxed atmosphere where one can readily focus on lessons. Thanks a lot, Miciah and you too, Gizmo!

The school said it could take two to three weeks. She expected it to be dismissed before a hearing is held in court. She was able to check the status of her ticket on the internet court homepage, so she was going to check it after 4 weeks. She was sure it was dismissed. But it was still open with a new case. She asked for help, so I took care of it. I checked the reviews of this school as much as I could. I found one review, and someone asked them to fix the ticket because someone found it wasn't completed by the court after a long time. But they said that there had been nothing to do because they said it was asked too late. Since then, I have checked her condition every week and tried to contact them both. But I got the same answer that the court had received nothing from the school, and the school had already sent everything to the court in the last few weeks. I recommend a driving course for traffic tickets at a school in your local area. I decided to choose because of the guidance and cost of the course. I think the course and cost are pretty much the same as other schools. If you made the mistake of choosing a school, like my wife, you might find your ticket completed or unfinished for more than 2 months. It could make it worse than expected. You get a premium to pay more. That's it. Good luck. Thank you.

The seats were very comfortable and the quality of acoustics was fantastic. Make sure you take a clear bag or a small purse (8.5" x 5.5") as they do have a bag policy. Large purses and backpacks are not allowed. They also use metal detectors and have security screening. I'd definitely love to go see another performance here.
