Dear Students & Families,

We had a big Milestone this month. The SJAA celebrated our first year in our commercial location!

Happy B-day, SJAA! We’ll be “toddling” soon. Jan. 8 was our anniversary. Also… Elvis’ Birthday. Coincidence? Yes.

Thank you for being along for the ride and for growing with us! We’ve been working hard and did quite a lot of bootstrapping to make sure we could make rents and keep it warm/cool around here. There has been no scrimping however on the really important things… having great teachers, supporting our staff, students and families and having lots of performance opportunities for our students.

More to come!

Thank you for coming to play at the SJAA and for encouraging the advancing musicians in your life.

Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!

The SJAA has a diverse student group including many colors, age groups, orientations and abilities. We are not all the same.
Music Unites Us.
THANK YOU for setting the example for what’s possible and creating a real community here. It’s still a “mean ol’ world” out there. You make the SJAA safe and welcoming and I think… the world a better place. It’s important stuff and God bless you for it.

Monster Concert 2019

We had a great Monster Concert with the SJAMTA at MWSU last weekend. I can’t tell you how proud I am of the guitar ensemble. Besides a great performance, they demonstrated excellent stage presence and handled themselves like true professionals on stage and off.

Way to go, SJAA guitarists!

You can see some pics below!
