Testimonials
"The DCC Academy of Music truly is an amazing experience for both student and parent. Not only is both the location and price convenient, the staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. All the teachers I've encountered are talented musicians and are knowledgeable in their craft. When I first started at DCC Academy of Music, I was only interested in learning how to play piano, but after being with the Academy of Music for 10 years they have broadened my horizons. I now take guitar and voice, along with learning different performing techniques. I love coming to the Academy of Music each week!"

"The folks at the Academy were very responsive and helpful in signing me up for the right classes based on my needs. They followed up with any questions I had, and the instructor, Dan Stevens, for my class is great!" -Edie Danovitz
"I have been a part of the DCC music program for over 10 years. During that time I have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent with the instructors and other students. I have learned much about group playing and my individual strengths and weaknesses. Although I have shifted my musical emphasis, the same quality of instruction -and fun--continues. I highly recommend the program to newcomers of all ages!" -Milton P.
"Can't say enough about how valuable the music school has been to me. The jazz ensemble provided just what I was looking for to grow as a musician, developing ensemble playing skills. The atmosphere is positive and supportive while also serious about developing musicianship. The faculty is truly excellent! Every class I have taken has been well developed and solid in pedagogy." -Kathy D.
"My son is absolutely having the best experience with the program and he is excited about Community Chorus too. He will be signing up for early admission at DCC and got the endorsement and necessary paperwork from his guidance counselor at school. Want to thank the Academy of Music office staff for always responding so quickly and being so attentive." -Patricia P.
"I joined the Guitar groups about 3 years ago, to try and get over my performance jitters. It has helped wonders, the people are great, and instructor Dan Stevens is awesome. I would recommend this group to anyone; we have fun learning and playing together and helping each other out as we go along. Laura has been wonderful and gracious with all the recitals and performances." -Joe H.
"Dutchess Community College Academy of Music was able to find a French horn teacher for my 10 year old son. I had tried at least a dozen other places before finding the perfect match for my son. His instructor is patient, kind, and highly skilled. We love it! -Amanda Willoughby Doll
