Great Teachers!

The lessons are taught by highly qualified instructors who are also performing musicians. SAM’s teaching philosophy emphasizes one-to-one instruction and public performance with twice-yearly recitals and other performance opportunities.
Most lessons are available for children and adults at beginning, intermediate and advanced levels of proficiency, and musical styles taught include contemporary, classical, jazz, blues, gospel. bluegrass, and rock-n-roll.
