The Mason Community Arts Academy in Fairfax, VA (part of George Mason University) offers the perfect blend of university-quality music teachers and a supportive environment with other community members.

When you join the Academy for music classes, you become part of the George Mason University community! Many of our faculty members are Mason professors or highly recommended graduate music students. All of our faculty members, regardless of University affiliation, are highly qualified, dedicated and experienced musicians and performers. We strive to provide the highest level of instruction while creating a supportive relationship with our students and instilling a lifelong love of music.

Group Classes vs. Private Lessons

We recommend beginners to start with specific GROUP MUSIC CLASSES when possible, then progressing to PRIVATE MUSIC LESSONS. For voice lessons, most teachers recommend starting when a student’s voice is fully developed after puberty. However, younger students can start with GROUP VOICE CLASSES as early as age 5 to learn basics of strong vocal technique with proper breathing, vocal exercises and basic musicianship in a fun, engaging environment. We also have specific GROUP CLASSES for more advanced and supplemental ensemble learning experiences. PRIVATE LESSONS offer individual instruction geared specifically to each student’s needs and goals. Feel free to contact us for further advice!
