Expertise
You’ll enjoy your time at the Sweetwater Academy of Music & Technology so much, you may forget that we are the nation’s largest online music retailer as well. For decades, Sweetwater has been leveraging our expertise in all things music to grow trusting relationships with musicians all over the world. We are committed to maintaining that expertise and level of trust within all aspects of our company. And you’ll experience it with every lesson you take.

Performance Opportunities
Learning a musical skill is great. But there’s nothing like the thrill and fulfillment of live performance with other like-minded musicians! The Sweetwater Academy of Music and Technology offers a variety of performance opportunities, including open mic nights, jazz and acoustic jams, drum circles, and recitals. We also have regular opportunities for you to take your music to the people and work the stages of the area’s most popular music venues.
The instructors are kind and encouraging. My children love taking lessons. They love to play different styles of music that push them to improve, AND they really enjoy learning how to write their own music! Truly a blessing to have such a great organization in Fort Wayne.
