Music Lessons
FOR ALL AGES
South Pasadena Arts & Music Academy is your community’s musical home-away-from-home, where people of all ages and experience levels can be nourished by the many benefits of musical education.
We believe in the power of music to inspire and enrich lives. To set a mind on a musical path is to train it in expression and empathy, strength and self-esteem, agility and acumen.
All of our warm and welcoming faculty bring years of musical training and professional performance experience, as well as a deep commitment to education, to every lesson they teach.

Group Classes
For Children Aged 6 months to 4 years
Parents and caregivers learn alongside their children in small group classes. In these early years, young minds are sponges for skills that will stay with them their whole lives. Equip them for the future by exploring music together, as we nurture creative and cognitive development using rhythm, movement, body percussion, pitch matching, and more.
For Children Aged 4 years to 6 years
Experience the joy of music through fun games and activities! Designed to equip children aged 4-6 with the tools for lifelong musical success, the class will build strong musical foundations in students by refining their motor skills, listening skills, musical knowledge, and expressivity.
Keyboard Lab is designed to give beginning pianists the skills they need to jumpstart their musical journey. Piano faculty Nick and Sam G. will teach students keyboard technique, theory, scales, note and chord reading. Taught in a hybrid setting, the class will include both small groups and one-on-one instruction.
