Has your dog mastered simple commands like "sit" and "stay?" Maybe it's time for Spot to take up the piano.

At a new animal academy that has opened in Germany, a pet can learn a wide range of instruments, including the piano and the xylophone.

The founder of the school said the academy's goal is to show people how to communicate with animals.

The school is not limited to household pets. Even the family chicken can go through the program and learn an instrument.

The program has several students, but teachers said there's always room for more.
