Music Classes for Ages Four to Adult

Overview

Learn how to sing, play piano, guitar, and more in fun and enriching music classes! All of our faculty members are highly dedicated and experienced musicians who strive to provide the highest level of instruction while creating a supportive relationship with our students. Whether you live near or far, our programs will connect you with George Mason University faculty, professional teaching artists, and experienced music educators.

Should I select group classes or private lessons?

Students are welcome to start their musical studies with a private instructor. When possible, the Academy recommends that beginners start with specific music classes before progressing to Private Lessons.

We offer multi-level beginner and intermediate group classes for young students and adults in piano, violin, and guitar. We also offer group classes in special topics for current private lesson students seeking to supplement their studies. Most teachers recommend for voice students to begin private lessons once a student’s voice is fully developed after puberty.
