AMFA Spring Recital 

The AMFA Spring recital featured performances by our music students. Congratulations to all who participated!

 

Thank you all for joining us at our musical gathering! It was great seeing everyone. The positive environment that all the students, parents and instructors created was priceless. We had more than 50 performers at the event in most music genres, ranging from Piano, Guitar, Violin, Drums and Vocal performances. Everyone was happy to be part of an in-person event and have a chance to perform their beloved pieces. 6 hours hardly seemed enough time to hear all prepared pieces. It was also heartwarming to see so many of our online students meeting their instructors and performing live.

We want to thank all our Instructors and Volunteers for their dedication and professionalism!

The next event is scheduled for October 2022.

Tutoring Sessions

Students and parents both want academic success – high grades and the pride that comes with achievement. The tutors at the Academy of Music and Fine Arts believe any student, regardless of ability, can become a high achiever. Our tutors know from years of experience that students underperform because they have not learned the right approach or pathway to success.

Our tutors help students become stronger independent learners by developing a customized approach to organization, cognition and retention. Students can spend hours working very hard but working inefficiently to the point their effort fails to translate into results. Our tutors create personalized organizational plans so that students learn how to maximize time, work efficiently and retain key information not just for the short term but for the long term.

Success requires more than good organization; students must understand often complicated subject matter. Our tutoring approach helps students master concepts in all core areas by providing instruction tailored to their individual learning styles. Subjects covered include English, U.S. and World History, American and Comparative Government, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and mathematics through Calculus. Our tutors work with students in remedial work as well as AP track courses. 

Individual tutoring

Personalized individual sessions in a wide range of subjects. No long term commitments — book an individual session or a series.

Math

For all ages and grade levels

Science

For all ages and grade levels

history

test preparation

“We reach out to the tutors at AMFA whenever my daughters need a boost with their homework. It’s very convenient to have tutoring in the same building where they take their art classes, we book a session as needed before or after their class.

Drum Lessons

MUSIC

Drum Lessons

The Academy of Music and Fine Arts invites you to discover and explore the rhythms and traditions of world cultures in a supportive learning environment that engages you in self-discovery and learning through experience. Our drum instructors take care to impart the language, lifestyle, and learning modes associated with their instrument and repertoire. Learn the fundmentals of drumming through:

reading music

Knowing how to read traditional music notation greatly increases your understanding of how rhythm works whether you are reading sheet music or playing by ear.

proper technique

Proper technique is extremely important as it not only enables you to play the music more easily or without struggling, but it also helps prevent repetitive motion injuries such as tendonitis or carpel tunnel syndrome.

hand/foor corrdination

Independence of all 4 limbs is an essential skill for drum set players to be able to play their parts smoothly and effectively, especially if the music has more complex rhythms. You will learn many effective warm up and exercise routines to develop these skills. 

keeping a steady rythm

Mastering the ability to play rhythms and transitions in music without speeding up or slowing down is one of the most important jobs that a drummer has. 

learning to play by ear

Learning a drum part by ear is just as important as reading music notation. By learning all the other drumming fundamentals, you will develop the skills necessary to hear a piece of music, pick out the drum parts and learn them without reading music. This includes creating your own drum parts for original music as well. 

Individual drum Lessons

Weekly 45-minute individual lessons.

Discover and explore rythms from around the world with drum lessons at the AMFA.

My son has been attending the Academy since last April and I have to say the teachers are very knowledgeable and the staff is amazing, always there to help you and explain everything on point. My son loves his drum lessons with Angelo and looks forward to them all week. I would definitely recommend this school, it’s our second family.
