Happy new year! We are starting 2022 off being grateful for our amazing CCAA community of exceptional instructors, amazing and dedicated students, parents, families, and staff.

Be on the lookout for our personalized Practice Log Journals for our students! We hope this book will help provide guidance, clarity, and structure for your lessons and at home practice sessions. Once you have received your new practice journal, please make sure to bring it to every lesson, along with your other books and materials. We’re very excited for this new development!

We’re excited to welcome Austin Robinson and Dara Rahming to our teaching faculty! They will be offering piano and piano/voice lessons, respectively. Please reach out to info@chevychaseartsacademy.com to inquire about lesson availability with Austin and Dara!
