SOUTHWEST ALABAMA ACADEMY OF MUSIC
The Southwest Alabama Academy of Music is a violin and piano program for all ages. We offer private lessons, group classes, and several performance opportunities every year. All lessons and classes are taught by professional musicians. Students meet once a week with a teacher to review and acquire new skills. There is a monthly group performance class that provides an opportunity to play polished pieces and practice performing in front of other families. Our students can opt to receive additional classes including chamber music, and music theory. Here at Southwest Alabama Academy of Music, music isn’t just an activity, it’s a way of life.
