Welcome to Larchmont Music Academy
At Larchmont Music
Academy our goal is to provide the highest standard of quality and excellence in
musical education. Our belief is that music should be an integral part of every
life and accessible to all ages and levels of proficiency. Our highly-qualified
faculty, most with Masters or Doctoral degrees in their area of expertise, have
been carefully chosen to guide each student to his or her highest potential.
Emphasis will be placed on process, not only on performance. Music influences
all areas of our lives, and as each student masters the skills and discipline
used in music he/she will also build greater confidence, poise, and sense of
accomplishment that will pervade all aspects of life.
Facilities
Larchmont Music
Academy is located at 2089 Boston Post Road between Chatsworth and Larchmont
Avenues. Our annex is located across the street at 2106 Boston Post Road. Both facilities include newly-renovated sunny private studios,
performance areas, and cozy waiting rooms complete with tea and cookies. Each
studio is appointed with new upright or grand pianos. We are committed to
maintaining the highest-quality pianos and teaching studios. There is also a
computer lab for composition and theory classes. We are proud to announce the
arrival of our new Mason & Hamlin concert grand for the recital hall.



Our History
Larchmont Music Academy was founded
in November 1998 by Dr. Steven Huter
and Claudia Huter. Claudia grew up in Larchmont and returned after
college to teach private flute lessons in the area. In September 1998 she had a
full
teaching schedule, and after discussions with siblings, parents and local band
directors, realized Larchmont needed a place where students could find
high-quality music education for other instruments as well. By November the Academy opened,
and the school began to grow. From its beginnings with 30 students, the
Academy has flourished and now nearly 800 students attend classes, lessons, and
ensembles. Our facilities have been expanded constantly to keep up with the
increase in students: in 1999 we annexed a second location around the
corner, and in 2000 we doubled the space there. In 2003 we moved to a two
story facility and in addition maintain our original location. A faculty of 43 artist teachers, Kindermusik classes, woodwind,
string and jazz ensembles, and frequent performances keep things lively. With
the outreach concert series the students and faculty volunteer
their time to bring music to the community, performing in nursing homes,
hospitals, and the local library and the reservoir. Highlights of the
Academy concert series include a student honors and ensemble concert in Carnegie
Hall.
