Thank you, Ryan! 🌟

This October, we bid farewell to our longtime teacher, Ryan Polakoff. Over the past five years at Queens Music Academy, Ryan has been an invaluable part of our team, teaching nearly 200 students across a wide range of instruments, including drums, piano, trombone, guitar, and more. His dedication and passion have helped countless students grow as musicians, and we are deeply grateful for the incredible impact he’s made on our community.

Thank you, Ryan, for an unforgettable five years at QMA. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors!

Singing Group Class for Kids

We are exploring interest in a group singing class for children ages 7 to 12.

In this class, kids will work together on fun, engaging songs, with many opportunities to sing solos. It’s a great way for young performers to build confidence and enjoy performing in a relaxed, supportive environment. The repertoire will include contemporary, child-friendly pop and rock music, along with popular musical theater tunes.
