An Early Start
Chapel Hill School of Musical Arts began in 2000 with one teacher, Sharon Szymanski, offering voice lessons in her home. Known originally as Szymanski Studios, the concept of these early music lessons (http://www.chapelhillschoolofmusicalarts.com/
As the demand for quality vocal instruction increased, Szymanski Studios grew with it until it served many students and employed multiple teachers. In 2009, Sharon and her husband Rick, who had become involved in the financial end of the business, decided that they would expand their ideas of inclusive music instruction and added piano and guitar to their lessons offerings. New faculty and students joined the existing voice students and additional commercial space was renovated to accommodate them. In 2011 instruction on band and orchestral instruments was also added and Szymanski Studios continued to grow into a sizable music school.
This Spring the decision was made to change the school’s name to more completely reflect the diversity of musical instruction it offered and to embrace future plans for continued growth and expansion of services to it’s students and the community. CHAPEL HILL SCHOOL OF MUSICAL ARTS was the result and we look forward to many more years of musical enjoyment and learning here in Chapel Hill.
