General Info

About the Colorado Music Institute Founded in 1996 as the Colorado Drum Institute, we grew to what was considered by many to be the largest private drum school in the nation. Then one day in 2002, the mother of one of our students said, "Gosh, I wish you taught guitar so I didn't have to drive across town for my other son." We hired a guitar instructor on spec, and basically it took off. We changed our name to the Colorado Music Institute in 2005, and now teach Drums, Guitar, Bass, Keyboards, Piano, and Vocals in styles such as Rock, Funk, Heavy-Metal, Jazz, and Hip-Hop serving the entire Denver - Metro area and all of Colorado. Students of all ages and levels are welcome. Band Camp starts in June and lasts all summer long. Camps are one week long and start at different times through the summer. Our facilities are top notch. The bright and spacious studios provide an excellent learning environment and contain a full stereo, drum machines, and computers. Each of our drum studios contains two complete drum sets that are not padded up so our students can experience the full impact of making music. The amps in our guitar studios are tops! Our keyboards are the latest models. We are conveniently located just off I-25 and Arapahoe Rd. Regular lessons are half an hour long, and hour-long sessions are available too. We're open seven days a week: Monday through Friday from 2 pm to 10 pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm.
