Why choose Charlotte Academy of Music? Below are just a few of the benefits of attending a community music school…
- Convenient scheduling for busy families just makes life a little easier! There’s homework, sports, church activities, scouts and so much morefilling up your family calendar! CAM offers the option of scheduling lessonswith a variety of instruments at the same time or back to back, which saves a great deal of time and gas driving to different locations. We also offer morning, afternoon and evening week day classes, as well as Saturdays!
- Our teachers only focus on music! CAM is directed by Regina Ziliani, a music professional who has taught music for over 23 years. She ensures the school is guided by a focus on quality music education. Our teachers work with students on an educational level, while the administrative staff handles scheduling, tuition and other needs. This allows teachers to focus on teaching and avoid the awkward distraction of payments and policies that home studio teachers must deal with.
- Being part of a musical community fosters motivation
and inspiration. Students feel bolstered by both the presence of their peers and collaborations with them. As students become more advanced, they also have opportunities to collaborate with other student instrumentalists, accompany and join ensembles, such as our Chamber
Ensemble, or specialized curriculum like our Piano Artistry program. - Separate studios in an atmosphere dedicated to teaching
and learning. Students who take lessons in their teacher’s or own home may encounter distractions such as a ringing telephone, pets, or other family members. Families of CAM enjoy the convenient shopping options at Idlewild Market, as well as ample parking. - Choice of more than 1 teacher. Each student has their own individual learning style, personality and musical goals. With our excellent faculty of dedicated, professional teachers, we can find the best fit for you and your family.
- Background checks and quality instruction. Prior to hiring any teacher at the Academy, a background check is run and a thorough evaluation of their education, teaching methods, style and expectations are assessed.
- Various payment methods and plans. At CAM, families can choose from personal check, VISA, MasterCard, Discover or Electronic Debit payment methods, and varied installment plans.
- Master Classes, Evaluations, Guest Composers, the Blue Note Lounge and Multiple Instrument Recitals. There
are a wealth of performance and evaluation opportunities (NFMC, NCMTA, CPTF, etc) for students at CAM, which we believe are crucial to each student’s motivation and progress.
