Our faculty are working musicians, dedicated educators, and active community members who embody the creative spirit of the Hudson Valley. From touring artists and recording musicians to conservatory-trained teachers, we are a collective who are passionate about making and teaching music.

Each instructor brings expertise across genres—rock, jazz, classical, folk, electronic music, songwriting, and more—while understanding that music isn't just about technique. It's about finding your voice, building community, and learning to express yourself. Whether you're picking up an instrument for the first time, preparing for professional work, or writing your first song, our teachers meet you exactly where you are.

We work hard to match students with instructors based on musical goals, learning styles, and creative interests. We're here because we believe consistent access to music education strengthens both individuals and our community.
