Academy of Music & Design: ( ) Shaping Creative Minds Using Art & Technology

Our youngest students are 18 months (Toddler Tunes – group music class), and our oldest student is 80 y.o. – private clarinet lessons. We have classes for every age, whether it is private or group.

All our teachers have bachelor’s degree. Many of our music teachers are members of Music Teachers Association of California – a prestigious membership that allows talented and perseverant students to go through a Certificate of Merit program.

Certificate of Merit® provides a standardized music curriculum for musical excellence in performance, technique, ear training, sight reading/singing and music theory. Certificate of Merit® provides a uniform pathway for music student growth at each level.

We offer Piano, Guitar, Violin, Viola, Drums, Saxophone, Clarinet, Flute, Trumpet, Tuba, Flute, and Voice!

Many people assume that private music lessons are always the best option, but we believe the right choice depends on your goals. Private lessons offer individualized instruction and are the most effective path for students pursuing classical training or looking to progress at an accelerated pace. Group music classes provide a dynamic, well-rounded learning environment where students develop essential musical skills while also learning to listen, collaborate, and perform as part of an ensemble. Through creative, interactive activities, students build confidence, teamwork, and a lifelong appreciation for making music together.
