Meet Our Teachers

Our Academy of the arts philosophy

Teaching music is like cultivating a garden. We nurture these seedlings and with a little patience see them grow and become more and more independent, maturing into healthy, well-established plants. The best teachers are able to connect with students on a personal level and support and inspire them as they work to achieve their goals. Our goal is that they become independent, competent, life-long music makers.

Our Pricing

We offer monthly tuition rates for music students attending all year (10 monthly payments), and also offer payment options and discounts for tri-payments (3 times a year) and yearly payments.
