Mission Statement

At Encore Music and Art Academy, we offer the highest quality music instruction for both children and adults in the greater San Jose area. We strive to instill a life-long love and appreciation of the arts that will enrich the lives of our students for many years to come.


Our Philosophy

We believe studying music and the arts should be fun and enriching for both children and adults alike. Research shows that children who learn music consistently achieve higher levels of academic success than their classmates, particularly in math and science. Musical education is a vital part of ensuring that your child receives a well rounded education that will help him or her succeed in their future studies and professions. For adults, studies show that studying music helps relieve stress and helps to keep cognitive functions keen. Our faculty is comprised of professional musicians with a wealth of teaching experience and a passion for sharing their knowledge with others.
