Families today are busier than ever, but kids are only kids once! We help on-the-go parents find time for their children to be curious and creative by providing convenient after-school group music lessons, dance classes, and private music lessons.
FineArtsMatter was founded in 2010 by elementary school music teacher, guitar player, and graduate of the Peabody Conservatory of Music, Jonathan Eftychiou. Guitar Club was our first program offered at five schools with over 90 students enrolled!
Kids loved the fun and relevant songs they learned and parents were thrilled when they saw their child perform live in concert at the end of the semester!
Over a decade later, we now offer four unique, engaging, and educational enrichment classes to 1000’s of students every year at schools and community centers, in addition to private in-home instruction, homeschooling and online lessons.

YES! Every semester starts fresh with an introduction to the basic elements of the guitar, keyboard, beat making, or dance before we start learning new songs or choreography. We believe in making our classes accessible to all levels of experience and our teachers are trained to help your child learn at their own pace by regularly setting aside moments during class for one-on-one instruction.
Our classes are roughly 2/3 the cost of private studio instruction, and we offer the added convenience of teaching your child right at your school or through online lessons! Please check our Sign Up Page, choose your region and scroll down to find your school to see specific pricing. Tuition varies upon the length of program.
Our curriculum has been designed for students in K through 2nd grade, but if your 3rd grader is a beginner or has a younger sibling in the class, it will still be a great experience for them! Sign Up Now.
YES, absolutely! Our curriculum and teaching methods are designed to benefit both beginners and students who have previous lessons. Our classroom experience is unique and gives kids an opportunity to learn with other students, like they’re in a band! We've discovered that this environment is both encouraging and challenging at the same time, and gives kids a chance to learn from and be inspired by the hard work and progress of their peers. Your child will also have tons of fun performing with their friends in our Final Performance at the end of the semester!
YES! Many of our excellent classroom teachers also teach in-home and online private lessons. Private lessons are a great compliment to the group experience offered in Guitar Club and KidzKeys. You can even schedule your first lesson FREE!
