Our Programs
After-School Music ProgramMusic has a unique way of shaping a child's experience of school — not just as an activity, but as a space where they discover focus, confidence, and the joy of creating something together. At Willan Academy of Music, we bring that experience directly to your students.
What We Offer
We work with schools to design an after-school music program that fits naturally into your community. Our teachers come to you, offering private and small-group instruction across a wide range of instruments — tailored to each student's age, level, and interests. Every lesson is built around genuine musical growth, not just technique.
We currently offer:
- Private one-on-one lessons
- Small ensemble experiences
- Repertoire thoughtfully chosen for each student
- Experienced, caring faculty who love working with young musicians
Our Partnership
Willan Academy is proud to partner with The École, since 2022, where we provide music lessons as part of their after-school program. It has been a wonderful collaboration, and we are grateful to be part of that community.
Bring Music to Your School
If you are a school administrator or program director interested in bringing Willan Academy to your students, we would love to start a conversation.

We Did It — Our 10th Anniversary Concert at Merkin Hall
On May 9th, 2025, our students performed at Merkin Hall at Kaufman Music Center — one of New York City's most treasured concert venues. It was an afternoon filled with joy, pride, and music that moved every heart in the room.
From our youngest beginners to our most advanced performers, every child on that stage reminded us why we do what we do. Ten years of showing up, of patient teachers and brave students, of families who believed in the power of music — it all came together in one beautiful evening.

Curriculum
A Music Program Your School Will Be Proud Of
Willan Academy brings expert, caring music instruction directly to your students — building real skills, genuine enthusiasm, and a lasting relationship with music.
Tailored to Every Student
No two students are the same. Our teachers take the time to understand each child's personality, learning style, and musical interests — creating a lesson experience that feels personal, encouraging, and genuinely fun.
Building Real Musical Skills
We focus on technique that actually sticks — helping every student develop confidence, coordination, and a strong foundation across their chosen instrument. Progress is steady, visible, and something both students and teachers celebrate together.
Reading Music
Students learn to read music from the start, giving them the independence to explore on their own and the tools to grow into well-rounded musicians.
Performance and Growth
We believe every student deserves a moment to shine. Our students are prepared and encouraged to perform, building poise, resilience, and a quiet confidence that carries into every area of their lives.
