Academy for the Arts is a ten-week, fee-based arts program designed to enrich a student's life through music. Lessons are taught here at the Abby Kelley Foster Charter Public School in the evening and are open to both children and adults. Lessons are available in the disciplines listed under Course Descriptions. Studies have shown that students are involved in music do better in math and other numerically-based subjects in school. We encourage you to enrich your child's or your own mind by registering for whatever courses are of interest to him, her, or you.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact Chris Girardi at extension, 2628 or cgirardi@akfcs.org.

Thank you,
Christian Girardi
Arts Academy Coordinator

Course Descriptions

Keyboard Laboratory: This course provides instruction for adults and children who wish to develop keyboard skills and learn the elements of music theory. Though this course is offered in a group setting, students may learn at their own pace via headphone connection with the instructor. Students will also have the opportunity, through computer software, to explore composing original music. There are 15 spots available for each session, taught by Mr. Laven.

Private Instrumental Lessons: Students may take private instruction at any level in any of the disciplines listed below. Our instructors are professional musicians trained in instrument education and character development and teach at the Abby Kelley Foster School. If you need to reach any of these instructors, please call Christian Girardi at x2628 or search the instructor by name on our AKFCS website.
