SSA offers music lessons for a wide variety of instruments plus vocals, in both classical music and modern. The staff is always welcoming and pleasant to work with. The cathedral is a wonderful location for recitals, when we can have them. SSA staff has done a great job of keeping the students safe during the pandemic, by offering virtual lessons too. Summer camp was a great experience and introduced the students to a variety of instruments, while still letting them have time with their instrument of choice.

The staff at the State Street Music Academy are welcoming and professional. My teenage daughter thoroughly enjoys her guitar teacher Maria. Maria is a talented and engaging teacher who uses relative and current music to inspire my daughter to learn and enjoy music at her own pace in a relaxing atmosphere.
