At the BumbleBee Notes™ Music Academy,  we aim to offer music lessons that add to the diversity of excellent and valuable music education in the Syracuse metropolitan area and beyond. Our academy provides high-quality professional one-on-one music lessons and music courses to students of any age at any stage of development. Our faculty are top-level music professionals with terminal music performance and pedagogy degrees. Although the one-on-one lessons represent the core of our offering, we also offer light, fun courses in music education that help discover natural musicality and teach fundamentals of music history and theory in an informative and entertaining way. We also provide essential conducting and ensemble leadership courses where students learn basic conducting patterns and leadership skills necessary for leading orchestras and smaller ensembles. In our Chamber Music Institute, students can learn about the art of cooperation in intimate chamber settings and experience playing with top-level professional chamber musicians. All students enrolled in our one-on-one studios participate in two student recitals per year at the end of two semesters. Besides that, we provide our students with other special performing opportunities organized by our academy or other local music teacher associations.
