At the Worcester Music Academy, music education is accessible to everyone. Established in July 2010 by Sarah Kelly, the Academy seeks to fill the gap in music education that traditional schools often leave behind. Ms. Kelly, an avid music enthusiast, was passionate about providing a safe and nurturing environment for people of all ages and abilities to learn and grow in music. Studies have found that music can positively impact cognitive and academic development. Unfortunately, music is often the first program to be cut when budgets become tight. The Academy seeks to provide a place for people of all ages to learn, create, and explore music, and to foster a lifelong love of music. With its diverse and talented faculty, the Worcester Music Academy offers a variety of music programs designed to ignite creativity in students of all levels.
