Our youngest started at only 3 years of age. I didn#039;t realize children could learn before they even knew the alphabet and read but there is a way and Nancy has the system perfected. Not only can our children do theory but they also enjoy performing and composing. She makes learning fun. Her Academy also offers guitar and vocal lessons. Her vetted instructors are located throughout Atlanta. Virtual, in-studio and in-home. The end of year recital is like no other. It truly gives the students, young and old an opportunity to let their hard work be shared with other music lovers in a relaxed and fun end of year celebration. We have become friends with other students throughout the years and this is one of the unique aspects of learning with Nancy#039;s Academy of Music-the camaraderie and shared appreciation of the positive effects of music in our lives. Thank you Nancy for your love and dedication to the craft and the students. I almost forgot to mention the professional photos. She is also a professional photographer and as a bonus you#039;ll have gorgeous photos of your performance. Now that#039;s unparalleled service.

Ana Reyes GOOGLE REVIEW Name: Nancy Brown Date: 2024-08-14 15:30:10 Title: Flourish under her guidance! Body: Being Nancy#039;s son, I#039;ve witnessed firsthand a lifetime of dedication to her craft. She has amazed and inspired me since childhood. Her sensitivity to individual students#039; needs, her ability to communicate musical concepts in clear terms, and her talent for connecting with students of any age and from any walk of life, are but a few of the MANY reasons I recommend her as an instructor. With how much she poured into my own education as a child, the advantages I enjoy as an adult are a testament to her teaching nature. She carries this quality into her teaching. Over the years I#039;ve seen countless pupils flourish under her guidancemdash;and in some cases, even embark on musical careers of their own! Zac GOOGLE REVIEW
