Music education is a more powerful instrument than any other, because rhythms and harmony find their way into the inner places of the soul.

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.
