We believe in making music a part of everyone's life — adults included!

We’re not just about supporting the little maestros — we embrace students of all ages!

Our lessons are designed to help anyone learn the basics of music while building confidence in their own creativity. 

Whether you're a complete beginner, returning to lessons after decades, or a skilled musician aiming to reach new heights, our lessons cater to what anyone in our community needs.

And speaking of community, we offer more than just lessons. Unlike other schools that only host one or two recitals annually, we provide a variety of performance opportunities throughout the entire year.

From open mic nights for a casual vibe to formal recitals like our celebrated Holiday Recital, our students get the chance to showcase their progress and skills regularly.

We believe in keeping everything lighthearted and encouraging, because every performance is a chance to grow, and waiting a whole year for redemption just isn't our style.

Calendar & Events

Rather than offering just one recital at the end of the year, we provide a variety of events throughout the school year so students can become more comfortable performing in front of an audience. 

We're proud to be the trusted choice for anyone seeking professional music education — with a healthy dose of fun!

What Our Families Say…

  • "Alex often comes to class with a song that she's tried to learn at home. Her teacher takes the time to help her learn the song and incorporate some part of the piece into her Simply Music lesson. She is flexible and creative in her teaching style. Alex loves having her as a teacher."

    - MARY JANE MILLER

  • "I have two students enrolled in the School of Music, ages 14 and 11. My 14-year-old girl looks forward to her lessons each week. My 11-year-old boy also transitioned nicely to his new teacher and is learning new styles of music, and new practice methods. I highly recommend lessons with Fairfield School of Music!"

    — MARIBETH KONSTANTY

  • “Fairfield School of Music provides a wonderful service for the Fairfield area. For the last 3 years, my daughter Pola (9 years old) has taken Simply Music Piano lessons here. Our teacher is wonderful and Pola really enjoys her lessons. The progress that she has made over the years is very impressive and satisfying. The school gives a great exposure to music in a relaxed, cool atmosphere.”

    - MAGDALENA FLEJTER

  • "As a child I was forced to play the piano for years and I hated it. But, after 30 years of not playing I started taking classes at Fairfield School of Music. I have an amazing teacher that not only restored my skills, but also ignited a love for playing I never knew I had. Even though I have an extremely busy life, I practice regularly and always look forward to class.”

    — LIZETTE FONTE-CEDENO

  • “Our daughter has been taking lessons for the last four years and has thoroughly enjoyed the program and the teachers. Simply Music enables students to play songs almost immediately, which keeps her motivated and the lessons fun. Her enthusiasm and passion is infectious, and is the reason our younger son started two years ago.”

    — REGAN & GILLIAN SIZER

  • "As an adult student with no prior violin training, I was hesitant at first. I’m learning fundamental techniques, how to read music, even how to correct my own work. The times when I’ve struggled with a piece and arrive at class frustrated, my teachers never failed to send me home again, absolutely soaring.”

    — COLLEEN ROCHE

  • “We started the Simply Music program together and lessons went smoothly. My daughter was playing fun, engaging songs and felt a great sense of excitement and accomplishment. I loved the concept of learning to play piano using patterns and by ear before learning to read music. Her teacher integrated music theory as she progressed through the program.”

    — JEN KRASNOW

  • "Alex often comes to class with a song that she's tried to learn at home. Her teacher takes the time to help her learn the song and incorporate some part of the piece into her Simply Music lesson. She is flexible and creative in her teaching style. Alex loves having her as a teacher."

    — MARY JANE MILLER

  • "As an adult student, I took up a new instrument (electric bass) at age 50. I have been taking lessons at FSM for about three years, and love it! It is the highpoint of my week. Lessons can range from easy going “let’s just play together,” to fun, mind-crunching music theory discussions. My instructor is always flexible — and fun, sometimes challenging, one-on-one learning is the key to a great weekly experience.”

    — WARD JENNINGS

  • “The classes are fun and upbeat. They are taught by a talented musician who is warm, kind, and patient with her littlest students. In this nurturing environment, my son has gained self-confidence. He has had the opportunity to actually manipulate several instruments and has even learned proper musical terms!”

    — CARLA PETRONA

  • "With two students (now ages 14 and 8) at two very different skill and experience levels, we have been pleasantly surprised and delighted with the school’s ability to customize their programs and our children have thrived. Most importantly, their teacher and the school has reinforced their love of music.”

    — AMY, TOMMY & RYAN FLYNN

  • "My daughter (age 8 and a half) has been taking voice lessons with her teacher for almost two years and it's her favorite activity each week. Her teacher is warm and friendly and I have been extremely impressed with the schools focus on proper warm up, technique, and avoiding voice strain even for (or especially for!) a child so young.”

Why We
Teach Music

Music is a Science.
Music is Mathematical.
Music is a Foreign Language.
Music is History.
Music is Physical Education.
Music is all of these things, but most of all,
Music is Art.
That is why we teach music.
Not because we expect you to major in music
Not because we expect you to play or sing all your life …
But so you will be humanSo you will recognize beauty
So you will be closer to an infinite beyond this world
So you will have something to cling to
So you will have more love, more compassion,
more gentleness, more good –
In short, more Life.
