“Summertime. It was a song. It was a season. I wondered if that season would ever live inside of me.” — Benjamin Alire Sáenz

“It all seems surreal, we made it! Thanks to all of you, we still have a school and the future is looking positive. I cannot properly express my gratitude to you all. This school is like a child of mine. I birthed it and have cared for it for over one third of my life. To think that it could have possibly gone away was almost unbearable for me.
I spent all weekend personally cleaning and sanitizing every space at FMAA. I put Clorox wipes and a new bottle of sanitizer in each room. Plastic curtains are still in place in most classrooms to provide extra protection. Again, my gratitude to all of you is beyond measure.”
With all of our safety measures still in place, we are certain the time is now, let’s fill our halls with music once more! Call our office to confirm that your next lesson will be in person: 559-222-7464

🎶 MUSIC FACT 🎶
Music gives a certain kind of person chills & goosebumps!
On the temperance scale, those who were more open to experience and expression were found to not only listen to (and therefore encounter) more types of music, but they subjectively received the most value from it. These people will experience chills and goosebumps more frequently than others!
Do you know someone who would like to learn a new musical skill?
