In order to keep our students, staff, and teachers safe, we have implemented the Family Safety Plan in our school! This includes glass windows on lesson rooms to foster transparency between teachers and parents, full-time office staff so that students and teachers are never left unsupervised, requiring extensive background checks of all of our teachers and staff, security cameras in all rooms, and an open-door policy for parents, which means that they’re always invited to sit in on their child’s lessons. Learn more at FamilySafetyPlan.org.
We are one of the only schools in Lower Fairfield County that offers all of these popular instruments and areas of study: Piano, Voice, Singing, Guitar, Bass, Ukulele, Drums, Flute, Saxophone, Songwriting, GarageBand, and Audition Prep year-round and in ONE location. We have installed $20,000 worth of LED monitors and other electronics in each teaching room, so that you can bring your iPhone, iPad or any mobile device to give you the BEST music lesson experience in Lower Fairfield County that no one else can offer.
All our music teachers have either college training or professional performance experience. Our music teachers are dedicated to learning about your personal musical goals and helping you to achieve them. We are confident that we have the right teacher to meet your music lesson needs. In addition to their teaching credentials, our teachers have warm personalities, are extremely friendly and dedicated to teaching you the style of music that you want to learn in your music lesson.
We are one of the only music schools in Lower Fairfield County that offers music lessons six days a week from early in the morning to late at night to accommodate your busy schedule.
9:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. Monday - Friday
9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. on Saturdays
Visit our testimonial page to see what our students are saying. Every year, aspiring music teachers start their own studio, and a year or two later it's closed. The Academy has a proven track record of offering quality music, piano, voice, singing, guitar, bass, ukulele, drums, flute, saxophone, songwriting, GarageBand, and audition prep lessons (as well as toddler and pre-k classes) in Lower Fairfield County, Connecticut year-round. Our full-time mission is teaching music lessons trusted by over 1,000 families, first in California from 1992-2003, then in and around Greenwich for over fifteen years.
With over 1,000 square feet, our atrium is the most spacious and parent-friendly waiting area in the Stamford and Greenwich area. Instead of waiting in a music retail store showroom, our clients enjoy a spacious, professional parents' lounge with comfortable chairs, kids' toys, Wi-Fi, magazines and bottled water service. We also provide large observation windows on every door so that you can watch your child's lesson while you wait. Or if you prefer you can sit in on their lesson anytime you like.
Technology is a big part of lessons at the Greenwich Arts Academy. This allows students to have a modern and engaging lesson using music teaching apps, music software, Skype, Zoom, and more. Feel free to "Bring Your Own Device" to your lesson in addition to your instrument!
One of the things that has really set us apart is our focus on providing lessons that are fresh, new, and engaging. There are so many great teaching apps out there now that we felt we had to update our curricula to incorporate them where appropriate. By doing so, our students never run the risk of being bored by their lessons. It's a challenge to engage children or adults, but by integrating technology such as teaching apps from the iTunes store, GarageBand, ProTools, you name it, we're providing a cutting-edge lesson experience in the Greenwich area.
Our rooms are stocked with everything you need for music lessons, including amps, stereos, full drum kits with pads, keyboards, pianos and more. All you need to bring is your instrument. We have spent thousands of dollars on our studio to offer soundproofing and large observation windows.
Technology is a big part of lessons at the Greenwich Arts Academy, and we have installed LED monitors with Mac Minis in every lesson room. The monitors have cables that can attach to iPods, iPads, laptops, etc. This allows students to have a modern and engaging lesson using music teaching apps, music software, Skype, Zoom, Muzie, and more. Feel free to "Bring Your Own Device" to your lesson in addition to your instrument! No other school in Lower Fairfield County offers this level of technology.

We are one of the only music schools in Greenwich that offers biannual recitals with a grand Steinway or Yamaha piano in first-class venues.
Every parent just wants to know how their child is doing and if they are really progressing. The best way for a parent to understand if their investment in lessons is really worth it, is to have their child participate in a recital.
In June and December many of our students choose to perform in our biannual recitals. We hold these in lovely spaces with world class acoustics, such as the First Congregational Church in Stamford or St. Paul Lutheran in Westport.
For your child, the Greenwich Arts Academy recital experience will be low-stress and high-reward. Many music schools don't adequately rehearse their students, leaving them prone to stage-fright and the kinds of bad experiences some of us remember from when we were kids. Our students prepare for four to six weeks -- when it's their turn to play, they're ready, and steady. In fact, our recitals are so well-rehearsed and our young and not-so-young performers so professional, that we don't even call our shows "recitals"... they're concerts.
Unlike many schools in Greenwich we do not charge admission or sell tickets to our concerts -- there is only a small participation fee per student. You are encouraged to bring your family and friends to the show for free to share in the fun!

One of the benefits of living in Fairfield and Westchester Counties is the proximity to great arts programs. It also means that standards are high and competition is fierce. Whether you are auditioning for the middle- or high-school musical, for any of the many excellent local or regional theater groups, or competing to get into an excellent conservatory or university music program, being cool and well-prepared is key. We are proud to offer this vital service to performers of all backgrounds in the Greenwich area.
We are the only music school in Greenwich that gives its students the opportunity to earn special color wristband bracelets (kids and teens love them!), trophies AND certificates for passing musical tests.
Do other schools offer trophies and certificates? A few. But none of them inspire their students with smiling faces by giving them full color, really cool “Musical Ladder®” wristbands and trophies that they can show off to their friends. The Musical Ladder® is a unique method of music education and Greenwich Arts Academy is one of the few schools on the East Coast that offers it.
More importantly, when our students have a test coming up, they practice more, their parents are proud, their teachers are proud, and everybody wins. You can only get the Musical Ladder® here. We also specialize in music lessons for adults.

Greenwich Arts Academy is the only music school in Greenwich offering training on GarageBand, which is included free with most Apple desktop and laptop computers. Does your child sit in front of the computer stringing loops together, then wondering what to do next?C'mon, we all know it happens -- the daughter of the director of the Academy was creating and recording her own songs when she was five! (That's her working in Mr Michael's studio, by the way.)
We can help your child take that budding creative streak and give it focus. Some of our students study composition; some study songwriting, or beat-creation, or improvisation. The results speak for themselves.

Since we are one of the largest music schools in the state of Connecticut, we are able to be a 'full service' music school. This allows us to offer lessons as early as 8 a.m. and we see many students between the hours of 11 a.m.-2 p.m. If you are a home school parent, retiree, college student or working professional who has a flexible schedule, take advantage of our early morning and lunch time lesson spots.
We are the only music school in the Greenwich area that offers a picture day for their students.
Every Spring and Fall we host a free picture day with a professional photographer. This is a service that our students' parents love as they all want quality photos of their children. Adults are welcome too! Students can bring their instruments to the photo shoot and wear whatever they like.
A couple of times a year, the Academy invites students (and parents) to come on field trips to a variety of local or regional arts performances or other presentations. Every care is taken to make the experience smooth and fun, from tickets to meals to transportation.
Students and parents ride in style to the venue in a private Limo Bus, enjoy a meal and a world-class performance on a renowned stage such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Radio City Music Hall, or any number of world-famous stages on Broadway -- then return home tired and inspired.
We are proud to offer our Greenwich families unique and amazing outings like this!

Painless music lessons.
Happy kids, with...
Better grades.
More self-confidence.
More self-discipline.

'Nuff said.
The ability to play an instrument or sing beautifully offers a lifetime of benefits. Music lessons also foster a student’s personal, social, and academic development. The Greenwich Arts Academy has made substantial investments in our methods and faculty to provide an uplifting environment designed to foster creativity, confidence and joy.
If you’ve been told you are tone deaf or uncoordinated, I’m here to inform you that everyone can improve their musical skills. As a musician, songwriter and music professor, I've witnessed thousands of students transform their lives in ways they never imagined possible. We make it our mission to help Greenwich area students explore and develop their talents, wherever their curiosity and interests lead them.
Every parent wants to know how their child is progressing. That’s why, twice a year, we present our Red Carpet recitals in professional recital halls equipped with a Steinway grand piano. Bring your family and friends to share in the fun.
