A Message From Our Founder

Dear Fresno Music Academy and Arts Community,

Greetings and a Happy March!

I am thrilled to share the exciting news that I will be returning to the teaching realm starting in March. The classroom has been a source of joy for me, and it's the reason that brought this school into existence. I can’t wait to reconnect with students and parents and be reunited with my love for teaching music! 

I will be offering limited time slots so if you are interested, please call us. I would LOVE to see the “older” population and homeschoolers take advantage of this as most of my free times will be in the later mornings and early afternoons. 

I am also going to be offering Master Classes. This is how it will work:

If you are already a student here -taking lessons in ANYTHING- and would like to have an opportunity to have “stage time” I will be hosting these opportunities in the ViSTA Theater 2 times a month. Times TBA at the moment. If you are already a student here, you can come to one of these classes for no extra charge. There will be signups and the space will be limited. We will discuss all kinds of performance related topics as well as have opportunities for individual performance “evaluations” It will be FUN!!

These Master Classes will be starting in April!! More information to come!

Hope to see some of you!! 

Love Debi

Never heard of it? 

“Rogue Festival champions the gritty, got-something-to-say outlook of the independent performer and Fresno’s Tower District. By connecting art, artist, and audience in a non-curated, non-adjudicated First Amendment Zone every year, Rogue Festival honors those who speak their truth, challenge the status quo, and perform audaciously – creating a distinctly forward-thinking culture as it goes along. Presented in a fringe festival-style format, the Festival includes theatre, dance, spoken word, music, performance art, puppetry, and more for fearless Central Valley audiences over 10 days.”
