About Us

The Academy of Music and Fine Arts has been providing music and art lessons for children and young adults of all skill levels for over 14 years. In 1999, Prof. Ashot Altounian, Prof. Laura Sokhikian and their founding partners created a learning environment that provides the highest order of education in all major aspects of music, establishing a foundation for life-long growth in music and art. In pursuing this mission, we reaffirm our commitment today by our dedication to providing quality musical and artistic instruction to young people who might otherwise never learn to sing, play an instrument, draw, paint, or perform before an audience.

In an environment that honors achievement, creativity and personal growth, the Academy of Music and Fine Arts nurtures the aspirations of all students, regardless of their initial ability while inspiring a lifelong love of the arts, no matter their eventual career path. Each student is carefully matched to a member of the Academy’s talented, dedicated faculty, who strive to be inspiring mentors as well as musical and intellectual leaders. In order to give our students an intensive professional education in their musical discipline, our multi-faceted approach to musical education incorporates Solfeggio and Choir classes into their curriculum, providing each student with a solid foundation in music and an expansive education in the liberal arts.

Over 10 departments strong, the Academy of Music and Fine Arts offers classes in piano, violin, guitar, drums, pop music, art, choir, and ensemble performance. Along with our traditional subjects, we also offer language courses, chess, robotics, and private tutoring for all scholastic levels.
