Chambers Music Studio proudly announces the acquisition of DNA Music Academy in Worthington, marking the expansion to its third location. Founder and CEO Julie Chambers has always had the vision of cultivating a lifelong love of music and providing high-quality music instruction in a welcoming environment and she is thrilled to bring that passion and vision to life in Worthington, Ohio.
Chambers Music Studio was founded on the principle that music is a lifelong journey that inspires joy. Julie Chambers, an experienced musician and educator with a deep passion for teaching, has dedicated her career to making music education accessible, engaging, and enjoyable for students of all ages. Her unique pedagogical approach, developed through extensive training and experience, emphasizes the importance of creating a fun and supportive learning environment where students can thrive.
With the acquisition of DNA Music Academy, Chambers Music Studio aims to blend the best of both worlds: maintaining the high standards and advanced programs DNA Music Academy is known for while introducing innovative and engaging methods tailored to young beginners. “I’m excited to bring the joy of music to another location. I want to make sure that people are developing the joy of music right away,” says Julie Chambers.
Julie’s vision for the Worthington location goes beyond just music instruction; she sees it as a vibrant community hub where students and families can connect, learn, and grow together. The new studio will feature a user-friendly software system for managing lessons, flexible scheduling options, and more opportunities for community engagement through recitals and outreach performances.
About Chambers Music Studio’s Owner: Julie Chambers
Chambers brings a unique teaching model to each of her music studios with her blend of pedagogy and performance expertise. She holds a bachelor’s and master’s degree in music education and has extensive training in pedagogical methods from Hungary. After studying in Hungary, she returned to the United States and created a unique teaching style that isn’t used in other music studios.
Her approach to music instruction emphasizes making learning fun and engaging for all ages, especially young beginners. Her philosophy is to access the joy in learning music instead of the typical model of “struggling through” learning an instrument.
Chambers Music Studio’s mission is to inspire people, strengthen the community, and guide lifelong musical journeys for students in a welcoming environment through quality music instruction for the betterment of society.
The previous owner of DNA Music Academy, Yo-Yo Qian, entrusted Julie with the studio due to her proven success in managing a music studio and cultivating a community around music as well as their shared values in music education.
What to Expect from Chambers Music Studio
DNA Music Academy has a long-standing tradition of high standards in music excellence. Chambers hopes to uphold that legacy by continuing to include national assessments and advanced music instruction. Students who are currently enrolled at DNA can expect more of the same excellent instruction from their current teachers, as well as expanded offerings with new classes and performance opportunities.
Chambers also hopes to expand the legacy by including a robust program for young beginner musicians. She has plans to introduce more engaging, game-like learning experiences to the list of services offered by DNA. “We aim to make learning music a joyful and effortless experience for students,” says Chambers.
“I have a specialty in the beginner students—keeping them engaged, teaching them in a step-by-step approach, but also preparing them for success,” Chambers continues, “so they’re almost tricked into learning something without realizing it’s a game. And then before you know it, they’ve actually played an entire song.”
The studio will continue to offer multiple recital opportunities as well as add more community outreach performances that allow students to showcase their talents in a variety of ways. “We are excited to bring our unique approach to music education to the Worthington community,” Chambers adds. “My bigger vision is just bringing it to as many people as possible in a really fun approach that doesn’t feel like effort or work, just that easy!”
Family Focused: The Chambers Music Studio Difference
Chambers Music Studio is bringing more than just a revolutionary approach to teaching music to Worthington. Chambers Music Studio has perfected the administration side of music lessons with its scheduling software and on-site receptionist model. Chamber’s husband—a Columbus Firefighter and Paramedic—assists with the maintenance and integration of the software in his spare time.
Parents can expect an integrated software system that allows them to easily manage lessons, including self-cancellation and rescheduling options. They can also expect access to a receptionist who can help to manage scheduling, instructor changes, and enrollment.
Perhaps the best aspect of their customer service is the way they have designed their lessons around the family experience. Chambers—a mother of an 8, 5, and 2-year-old—understands the challenges parents face and strives to create a supportive and engaging environment for families. Each studio features a welcoming waiting area for parents as well as synchronized lesson scheduling for siblings.
Chambers Music Studio built its practice on the mission that music is a community-focused, lifelong journey, and everything from its customer service to the layout of the studios is designed to achieve that mission.
Upcoming Open House and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
To celebrate the acquisition, Chambers Music Studio will host an open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony in late August. The event will invite the community to explore the new facilities, meet the teachers, and learn about the studio’s expanded offerings, including summer camps and specialized music classes.
