Grace Music Academy

Grace Music Academy resides in and is affiliated with Grace Lutheran Church.  We are located in the heart of Andover, just minutes from many Anoka-Hennepin schools and convenient highway access.

We welcome you to our website and thank you for your committed support and enhancement of your child’s musical interests by seeking private instruction.

Experienced Instructors

Our Christian instructors are inspiring musical and intellectual leaders in their field, who continually strive to expand themselves musically, intellectually and pedagogically for the growth and advancement of their students. These highly-qualified educators strive to provide valuable and stimulating learning experiences, appropriate to age, readiness level, learning style, goals and lifelong musical health.

Several of our instructors are employed by Anoka-Ramsey Community College in Coon Rapids, contributing to the leadership of higher education needs in our local community as well.
