Decatur Fine Arts Academy

Add some music to your summer! Learn a new instrument, return to an old hobby, or polish your repertoire ahead of upcoming fall auditions.

The DFAA summer semester runs from June 1-July 31. Summer lesson packages include at least 4 lessons (with flexible scheduling to accommodate your summer travel plans), as well as the opportunity to participate in a studio class and a summer showcase. Summer students also receive priority scheduling for the fall semester.

We had such a wonderful time at the final performance of our 2025-2026 Concert Series!

Thank you so much to all who joined us for this performance! Congratulations to Guest Artists Bethany Grace Mamola and Victoria Kerr, as well as DFAA Co-Directors Caroline Owen and Robert Cushing, on an afternoon of glorious music!

🎻 Faculty shoutout! Our fantastic viola instructor, Dr. Kathy Steely, gave a wonderful masterclass at Furman University last month. We're so grateful to have her on our team!

Interested in studying with Dr. Steely? Send us an email at [email protected] to set up a trial lesson!
