An academy where it's so much more than just taking music lessons. High quality instructors who actually CARE about their students and an academy that is involved with community outreach programs and after school programs providing under priviledged children with the opportunity to become not only fine musicians, but ultimately, fine human beings with big hearts. And they recently relocated into a new and beautiful building.
