Mission

St. Mary's Music Academy was founded to provide a community music school for children and adults of the Triad, as well as enrich the musical environment of High Point, NC and the greater Piedmont Triad.

What We Offer

St. Mary's Music Academy provides private lessons in multiple instruments including:

• Piano
• Clarinet
• Violin
• Viola
• Cello

The Music Academy gives children and adults a foundation of musical enjoyment, as well as venues to perform. All students are encouraged to participate in recitals, competitions, and music festivals.

Students are taught in a secure, protected environment inside the new Community Life Center of St. Mary's Episcopal Church. All instructors are selected based on their experience, expertise, and abilities.

Tuition

Each private lesson may be 30, 45, or 60 minutes in length. And tuition is drafted from the parent's checking account through the secure program, Vanco, on either the 1st or 15th of each month.

There is also a registration fee and an access card fee.
