Our goal is to ensure that beginning students get the maximum benefit from their music education, enjoy the learning experience, and begin a lifelong involvement with music. Curriculum at each level is selected with these goals in mind. Da Capo Music Academy ensure that beginning students get the maximum benefit from their music education, enjoy the learning experience, and begin a lifelong involvement with music.

Our group classes are designed to provide personalized attention while delivering the valuable benefits of the group experience. Students learn in a small group setting with the chance to interact with other growing musicians.

We offer music instruction for students 3 year old through adult. No previous musical experience or knowledge is required. All courses provide age-appropriate instruction and are taught by formally trained instructors. Classes 4 and up develop the whole musician, with attention on composing, improvising, theory, ear training, and note reading.
