Performance Opportunities
Students interact with peers by participating in performances throughout the year. They perform in the community, and enter competitions. Annual recitals, included in the tuition, display each student’s achievements in their instrument of choice: piano, guitar, violin, viola, voice/singing, flute, cello, drums, and more. Our students have unique performance opportunities: New York City’s Carnegie Hall, the Fox Theatre in Atlanta Georgia, and the Graceland Performance Hall in Memphis Tennessee.
Musician Owned & Operated
With over 54 years of musical experience, Mrs. Valencia Giles, professional pianist and flutist, musician, author, and composer, brings her belief in the value of music education to the forefront of the LSSM mission. As director and owner, Mrs. Giles assembled a team of professional musicians who share her passion and enthusiasm for quality music education. That is why we are the most awarded school in Gwinnett County. Learn more about our director here.
Amazing Art Classes
Every week our students are growing and increasing their skill level in their ability to create various styles of art. They are exploring the “Art for Fun” class that introduces them to many forms of art, or they are having a ball learning how to draw their favorite cartoons in our “Cartoon Art Class.” What versatility, to have one child taking piano and another child in the art class down the hall. What a wonderful way to save time and get all you need for your children in one wonderful location: the Lawrenceville-Suwanee School of Music. See our art program here.
We Do More Than Music Lessons - We Do Life Lessons!
Being a kid today is not easy! That is why our students not only learn how to play an instrument but we teach them how to excel in life. We help students who are overwhelmed with school, need a fun way to relieve stress, and more! Our music school is a family! Love is our model and great musicianship is our goal. We provide lessons that inspire, motivate, and encourage, while cultivating confidence in each student to perform at their highest level. At LSSM, every student is a star!
