Teacher Performance
We are kicking off our #GMSLoveMusic month with a special performance of L-O-V-E by Nat King Cole performed by GMS Melville’s Tuesday teachers and staff, The Grace Notes: featuring Music Director Matt Marcina on piano, Shiori Chazono on electric bass, Tom McClafferty on trumpet, Michael Alvarez on alto saxophone and vocals, Caitlin Francis on vocals, Kelly McGinnis on vocals, and Lesson Coordinator Nico Van Patten on vocals.
Best comprehensive music education in Suffolk County
Grace Music School offers private instruction in piano, voice, guitar, string, woodwind, drums, chamber music and early childhood music development classes – Music Fun Time – in ONE location! This saves our students time and money, as one family can take lessons on multiple instruments on the same day.
Other music schools may offer multiple instruments, but we are one of only a few schools that offer piano, voice, string, woodwind, guitar and drums in the same location. We also offer early morning and lunch time lessons for homeschoolers, retirees, college students and working professionals.
Exceptional Teachers
Our experienced teachers are dedicated to helping you achieve your musical goals in a fun yet challenging learning environment. All our music instructors have either conservatory or music school training and most have professional performance experience. Many have attended top music schools including Julliard, Manhattan School of Music, NYU, Rice University, Indiana University, Mannes College, Stony Brook University and Aaron Copland School of Music.
Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned musician, we are confident that we have a teacher for you. Our team’s diverse skillset paired with an unwavering commitment to student success ensures your Grace Music School experience will be both fun and rewarding.
