Learn The Arts!® is a multi-location arts education brand built on over five decades of dedication to creative excellence. Founded on the vision of Dr. Robert Rios, our mission has always been simple: transform lives through the power of music, dance, and the arts.
What began as a commitment to community-centered music education has grown into a thriving network of academies serving students across multiple states. Today, Learn The Arts!® proudly supports three premier schools.
Over 50 years ago, Dr. Robert Rios set out to build more than a music school. He envisioned an environment where discipline met creativity, where students developed confidence alongside technical mastery, and where families felt part of something greater than a classroom.
That vision shaped what would become an award-winning model for arts education — recognized nationally for excellence and community impact.
Today, that legacy continues under the leadership of his children — Francis, Teresa, and Augustina Rios — who remain deeply committed to expanding access to high-quality arts instruction while preserving the heart of the family tradition.
While each academy operates within its own community, every Learn The Arts!® location is built upon the same foundation:
Our students don’t just take lessons, they build discipline, confidence, and artistic identity.
As we continue to grow, our mission remains unchanged:
To inspire generations of artists through integrity, structure, and passion.
Learn The Arts!® is more than a school. It is a brand built on legacy, family, and the transformative power of artistic education.
