Parents and fellow students may also monitor the classes at any time by sitting in on the lesson or simply watching through the glass windows available in each of our studios.
All of our Faculty members must maintain the highest of teaching standards. Unlike many other music schools and teaching services in the New Orleans area, we only hire the very best and the Academy Directors regularly visit classes to continually evaluate each instructor and personally ensure that he/she is providing our students with a top notch education in music and dance.
