If you’ve ever wandered through Philipsburg and heard the sweet sound of music filling the air, chances are it’s coming from Little Town Music Academy. Owned and operated by Jon Phillippi, this vibrant academy at 203 N Front Street has quickly become a cornerstone for local musicians of all ages, offering lessons, band coaching, and community performances.
A Place Where Music Comes Alive
Founded just a year ago, Little Town Music Academy may be new to the area, but Jon brings over 20 years of teaching experience to his students. His vision is simple yet powerful: “Promoting growth in music for all ages, year-round.” Whether you’re a beginner picking up an instrument for the first time or an experienced musician looking to fine-tune your skills, this academy is the place to grow.
More Than Lessons—It’s a Musical Community
Little Town Music Academy offers a variety of services, including:🎸 Individual Music Lessons for all ages and skill levels🥁 Band Coaching to help local groups improve their sound and stage presence🎶 Live Events and Performances featuring local talent
When you step into the academy, you’ll find a welcoming environment where music is more than just notes—it’s an escape and a way to build lasting relationships. “Music is a place you can put your mind where you're away from real life for a while,” Jon shares.
Deeply Rooted in the Community
Community involvement is at the heart of Little Town Music Academy’s mission. The academy regularly participates in events like:🎭 Heritage Days🎉 Mardi Gras Celebrations (Catch three teen bands performing this March!)🎄 Christmas Events🎵 Local and Church Shows
Coming up, academy students will perform at the Spring Arts and Craft Fair on April 26th at Philipsburg-Osceola High School. These performances not only showcase local talent but also bring the community together through the universal language of music..
Looking to the Future
Jon’s passion doesn’t stop at teaching. He plans to expand the academy, adding more instruments, new instructors, and hopes to partner with individuals or teams dedicated to promoting live music throughout Philipsburg.
