The Academy of Music and Fine Arts is a great musical institution that you can trust. The school has a great faculty and staff. They have two recitals a year and great examination system. Being a student of this school, you master the instrument you choose, learn music theory, and sing in the choir. Our daughter Ani won many competitions and awards being a student of the Academy of Music and Fine Arts.

The Academy of Music and Fine Arts has definitely changed my life. I have been attending there since I was eight years old and will never forget the friends I made and the family I became a part of. Though I have already graduated, I don't think that I will ever be ready to end my wonderful journey at the Academy of Music, and I know that I will keep attending this amazing school for a very long time. I wish all the best to everyone at the Academy of Music and Fine Arts and thank them for all the support and encouragement.

The music academy here with piano, violin, guitar, art, and singing lessons is amazing, with wonderful instructors and very reasonable prices. They also offer chess lessons. Very happy with the "family" feel of AMFA and will soon start bringing my 3rd child here!

My 5yr old daughter has developed a passion for learning how to play the piano after taking classes at AMFA. They have a distinct technique that keeps my daughter focused while enjoying every class. I highly recommend AMFA!

I was very impressed by the quality of the music department and the overall very positive and fun environment of the school. Some of their other departments like chess, are top notch too. Hopefully they can manage 2 locations at once to help students from different areas.

Both my son and daughter have been going to the music school for several years. The teachers understand child psychology and can motivate the kids to learn music. Both my kids son 7 and daughter 11 are playing the piano producing beautiful music.

This is a true academy, where children learn classical music and treasure that as a lifetime value. Mrs. Laura Sokhikian is not a regular instructor but she is a professional psychologist, who knows how to connect children to the music world. She knows how to motivate her students. Furthermore, her professionalism and passion in music is unparallel.

My children are emotionally connected with her; therefore, their progress in learning upper division music became a passion for them. If your child has interest in music, this is the school you should consider.

Great place for children to learn and appreciate the arts. The music I have heard from the students is wonderful. The chess club held at the school is rewarding. Levon Altounian is a great chess instructor, along with Brian Klock (who also teaches guitar).
