Private Lessons

We are proud to offer private lessons to students of all ages and abilities in a wide variety of instruments including piano, guitar, vocal lessons, and more.

Semi-Private Lessons

At SAM we know that private lessons can be intimidating for new students. Our semi-private lessons allow students to take lessons with a friend or a sibling.

Ensembles & Classes

SAM offers a variety of group programs, including ensemble programs for children and adults and group lessons for parents to take with their children.

Greetings to all who visit our website!

Take a look around and perhaps you may find that certain musical instrument you always wanted to play. How about enrolling your favorite 4-year-old into a Suzuki String class? Maybe you would like to enjoy singing with your child in a community chorus or strum along with a community ukulele group? Need a bit of coaching to ace that upcoming audition? Can you see your children forming the next great family band? Imagine the thrill of hearing your child perform a Beethoven Sonata! Or maybe you just love the energy that live music brings into you home?

SAM is Alive with Music Education!

We remain musically yours,

C. Christine Petrucci
