Lochwood Academy builds confidence in students by building a community of inquisitive minds who are guided by professional teachers in a positive, uplifting atmosphere. These teachers make learning fun but still encourage high-level practice and progress. Through sweet, gentle nurturing attitudes, our teachers inspire students for their future love of the performing arts
Lochwood Academy opened its doors for the summer session in 2011, launching what has become a highly-respected and excellent tradition of performing arts training. With the incredible support of our families and staff, Lochwood Academy continues to provide a nurturing, professional and rigorous performing arts education for all who enter.
When families commit to providing their children an arts education at Lochwood Academy, we understand the sacrifice this entails. When families send their children to Lochwood, they entrust us with their most precious gift. We do not take this lightly and we promise to be fully committed to providing your child with the highest level of performing arts training in the area.
As you tour our facilities, you will see how the Lochwood family takes great care and maintaining a welcoming and safe environment; working to be good stewards of your time and resources.
Hi, I’m Mindy Byerts—the Studio Director here at Lochwood Academy.
As a passionate clarinet and piano instructor with years of experience, there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing students grow and develop their love for music.
But more important than the notes they play… are the life skills they build along the way.
Because learning music is so much more than just reading sheet music and practicing scales.
It’s about developing confidence, discipline, creativity, and perseverance.
With every lesson, students strengthen their focus, determination, and self-expression. Music provides instant positive feedback—helping them see and feel their progress, boosting their self-esteem, and encouraging a lifelong love for learning.
And of course… it’s a ton of FUN!
That’s why I love teaching music in this community, and why I know your child is going to LOVE their musical journey.

Lochwood is a wonderful place that provides a variety of musical arts. From piano to voice, percussions, musical theatre to violin and the flute, they have a so many musical instruments to choose from. My kids have been learning drums and piano for the past 5 years now and it’s been an amazing learning journey for them. Ms. Alice Margaret and Ms. Mindy have done a great job running this studio. Their love and dedication towards music shows in the way they teach kids. They have many amazing and talented teachers so if you are just starting or want to pursue music I would absolutely recommend Lochwood Academy of performing Arts.
