our story
Born of love for teaching music, sharing knowledge, and passion.
Music Makers was started in December 2009 by Drew & DeeGee Thow. Born of their love of teaching music and wanting to share their knowledge and passion with as many music lovers as possible. Since then we've developed ways of teaching that make the student WANT to learn more. In August 2016, Robert Smith, piano and voice instructor, chose to carry on the torch of Music Makers and continue to help it grow. Moving forward the school has acquired many talented instructors who have helped shaped it into a flourishing music haven for any aspiring musician or performer to explore being in a band, singing on Broadway, or just to connect with a community of passionate artists and students.
