For more than two decades, Anselmo Academy of Music and the Arts has provided high-quality music lessons and arts education for children, teens, and adults throughout New York and surrounding communities. We work closely with both families and local schools, offering personalized private music lessons, engaging group music classes and school programs, and flexible online instruction for students of all levels, from complete beginners to advanced musicians.
Our experienced faculty offer instruction in piano, guitar, violin, voice, drums, woodwinds, brass, strings, musical theater, acting, and more. Private lessons are tailored to each student’s individual interests, abilities, pace, and goals, while our school-based group programs create collaborative learning experiences that build confidence, creativity, and a lasting appreciation for music and the arts.
The best way to begin private lessons is with a Trial Lesson. Our team considers each student’s experience, goals, location, schedule, and availability before matching them with a suitable instructor. Lessons may take place in person or online, providing flexible options for children, teens, and adult students.
Music education encourages discipline, focus, self-expression, and confidence at every age. Students also have opportunities to celebrate their progress through performances, including our Annual Spring Recitals held across our regions in Manhattan/Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island, New Jersey, Rockland, Westchester, and beyond.
We provide structured pathways for beginners, intermediate students, and advanced musicians of all ages. Our music lessons for kids, teens, and adults include personalized private music lessons, while group music classes and school programs are offered through local partner schools. Students can study piano, guitar, violin, voice, acting, and more, with experienced instructors who tailor lessons to each student’s age, interests, learning style, and goals.
Our private music lessons provide personalized, one-on-one instruction for children, teens, and adults at every experience level. Students can study piano, guitar, violin, voice, drums, woodwinds, brass, strings, musical theater, acting, and more. Lessons are tailored to each student’s interests, abilities, pace, and goals, whether they are beginning an instrument, returning to music, or preparing for advanced study and performance.
Private lessons are available in person and online, with flexible scheduling and experienced instructors who provide individualized guidance in technique, repertoire, musicianship, and performance.
Our group music classes and school programs bring engaging, high-quality music and arts education directly to local schools and organizations. Programs can be customized to meet each school’s students, schedule, interests, and educational goals, with offerings including piano, guitar, violin, voice, choir, drums, musical theater, acting, and more.
Students learn in a collaborative environment that develops musical skills while encouraging creativity, confidence, teamwork, and self-expression. Programs can be offered during the school day or as after-school enrichment.
Music lessons support creativity, confidence, focus, self-expression, and personal growth at every stage of life. For children, music lessons for kids can strengthen listening skills, coordination, discipline, and confidence while encouraging a lifelong appreciation for the arts. Teen students can deepen their technique, explore new repertoire, and prepare for performances, auditions, or advanced study. For adults, music lessons offer an opportunity to learn a new instrument, return to a former passion, develop existing skills, or simply enjoy a creative and rewarding experience.
Whether studying privately or participating in a school-based group program, students benefit from thoughtful instruction designed around their individual needs and goals.
Our curriculum includes piano, guitar, violin, saxophone, acting, voice lessons, and more for kids, teens and adults, along with musical theater and contemporary styles. Students interested in classical repertoire, jazz improvisation, or popular music receive instruction aligned with their interests and goals. Each learning path is carefully adapted to match a student’s experience level.
Private lessons follow the student’s individual pace, while group classes emphasize collaboration and shared learning. Whether a student is starting their first instrument or preparing for advanced study, instruction remains focused and intentional.
We understand that students balance school, work, and other commitments. Lessons are scheduled to fit each household’s availability, including evenings and weekends. This flexibility supports consistent progress throughout the year.
Annual Spring Recitals are the highlight of the academic year. We organize these events in each geographic area, including Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, New Jersey, and Rockland. Students receive Gold Medals and Certificates to recognize their achievements and dedication.
Instruction covers technique, music reading, ear training, improvisation, and performance skills. Students develop a broad understanding of music that extends beyond individual pieces.
Our programs welcome learners of all ages, from young beginners to teens and adults. Many families enroll children while adults explore adult music lessons to reconnect with long-standing musical interests.
Students may choose between traditional in-home instruction and secure virtual learning. Some students combine both formats throughout the year to maintain continuity.
Private lessons are ideal for students seeking individualized instruction and a program tailored to their pace, interests, and goals. Children and adults can study piano, guitar, violin, voice, drums, woodwinds, brass, strings, musical theater, acting, and more, either in person or online.
Our group music classes and school programs are offered through local schools and organizations. These programs give children the opportunity to learn alongside their peers while developing musical skills, confidence, creativity, and collaboration.
Whether you are looking for music lessons for your child, private instruction as an adult, or music programming for your school, our team can help identify the option that best fits your needs.
Music education supports confidence, creativity, and discipline in meaningful ways. At Anselmo Academy, students receive thoughtful instruction rooted in experience and community values.
