As a parent—and as principal of Fort Myers Christian School—I have been very excited and impressed with the Creative Arts Academy. It has been a blessing to see my daughter’s progress with the guitar and great to see over 30 of our students involved in this program. I would highly recommend that you look into this program for your son or daughter. It is a great investment!
OUR CLASSES
We offer private lessons in music—voice, piano, guitar, drums, bass, and other instruments such as strings, brass, and woodwinds as they are requested. Our classes are available to the Southwest Florida community, kindergarten-age through adult.
Parents are welcome in any lesson, but we also have a comfortable waiting area for families with rehearsal keyboards, toys/books, cable television, and free Wi-Fi.
SWFL Creative Arts Academy is committed to providing:
