The Academy of Music and Art, Inc.™
This is 21st Century Learning at its Best!
Technology is alive and well at The Academy of Music and Art!
The Academy of Music and Art is the only school Music, Art, Dance and Theatre School that combines great teaching with cutting edge technology in a professional, upscale setting.
Remember the days of music lessons with the piano teacher who rapped your knuckles with a ruler? The teacher that forced you to learn dull and uninteresting music? The cranky old lady in a musky front room? You remember, unfortunately!
The Academy of Music and Art is a different kind of place. We believe that Technology is an important part of learning an instrument in the 21st century!
