Instruction for all ages
Barefoot Music Academy offers professional music lessons designed for students of all ages and experience levels.
Our children’s group music classes introduce toddlers, preschoolers and early elementary school students to music through singing, movement and rhythm play in a warm, small-group setting. Grown-ups join in alongside our youngest musicians. We offer sessions for children ranging from 18 months to 8 years old.
We offer private and group instruction for students of every age and experience level, year-round at our Kill Devil Hills studio. We teach piano, guitar, bass, voice, drums and ukulele. Beginner or returning — we'll build lessons around your goals and the music you love.
