The school’s Far West location in Austin is at capacity, with approximately 500 students, which is why the business is expanding to Cedar Park, according to a May 10 press release.

Located in the Kenai Business Park Condominiums, the Orpheus Academy of Music’s Cedar Park location is a 3,749-square-foot space featuring soundproofed lesson rooms equipped with viewing windows and cameras for safety.
