Searcy Community School of Music is a non-profit organization in central Arkansas offering music instruction to provide meaningful musical experiences, to foster a love of music, and to develop life-long skills in making and enjoying music. We believe in the value of arts education as an integral part of the formation of a complete person.

Guitar classSince our formation in 2004, we have taught thousands of music lessons and have grown to

270+ students and 50+ instructors.

Over the years, we’ve added Summer Music Camp, Piano Class, Guitar Class, and Preschool Music classes.

What a blessing to have been a part of the musical journey for so many families for over 20 years!

What do parents say?

Our years-long partnership with the Searcy Community School of Music has provided a foundation for [our boys'] musical advancement, nurturing both technical expertise and a genuine love for music. Under the expert guidance of [their teacher], both boys have developed into talented pianists, gaining discipline, creativity, and a strong sense of achievement. Additionally, [one] is a gifted composer, frequently performing his own compositions at SCSM recitals. We're grateful for the School of Music and its positive impact on our boys.

We HIGHLY recommend SCSM and have loved the past year for lessons for our two daughters! They offer lessons for multiple levels of learning, budgets, and class size options. Our oldest does private lessons at the highest level with Alicia Walls, who is incredible and very talented! Adalyn has loved taking lessons with her and has learned so much from her. She even made All Region Orchestra this year with her help and guidance. Our youngest has done the guitar class with Collin McCook and loved learning the basics of guitar with her friends. He is great with kids and made learning lots of fun especially after school with squirmy kids. She also has taken a year of private lessons with Myles Kreh and she has loved having him teach her at her own pace. When she started lessons, she was ADAMANT that she would never do the recital and be on stage. Her confidence has grown along with her skills and she decided she was ready to get on stage for the first time. We can’t thank SCSM enough and are extremely grateful our community has such an incredible music program!

Your instructor has given my daughter the ability to excel in her endeavor, to play music, and to enjoy being in the band. More than that, we are [living] life to its fullest, which [her teacher] has accomplished through her dedicated tutoring and by becoming part of [my daughter's] life!... [My daughter] looks upon her in admiration, as if she is a loving big sister: something that [she] has never had. So, I thank you, your school, and your instructors, for your dedication.

SCSM has been such a blessing to our family! The quality of instruction our kids have received at an affordable price has enabled them to develop and pursue their musical interests. My children have appreciated not only the opportunity to learn and grow in their own musical abilities, but also the relationships built with adults who have a passion for music. - We are thankful Searcy has SCSM!

I just want to take a moment to tell you how much we appreciate the Searcy Community School of Music. The individualized instruction that my children have received is phenomenal. Each of them have grown so much in their skills with their instruments. It is still amazing to me that Searcy has this organization that provides affordable lessons for multiple instruments and musical interests. It is a wonderful "one stop shop" for providing quality music instruction across multiple instruments and interests. Thank you again for providing another fabulous year of music!

SCSM has provided our four children with an excellent opportunity at a price a large family can afford. We have been impressed with the variety of instruments taught and the talented instructors who teach them. Our children are excited at the beginning of each semester and disappointed when it comes to an end. Not only do they enjoy their lessons and teachers, but they have each flourished as musicians in a way we could have never imagined without SCSM!
