Regan

I can’t begin to tell you how grateful I am for Garrett Music Academy. My son has autism and one of the therapeutic things they recommend is drums. After looking up so many other different types of therapies that cost thousands of dollars, I finally called [The Garrett Music Academy]. That’s when my son got to meet Mr. Devin. He has truly been a blessing to us and patient as can be. Some days my son has very bad days so Mr. Devin rolls with it. Other days he has great days and he challenges him. I can go on and on!!!! Absolutely love them and am blessed to have them around!

Amanda

Garrett Music Academy truly cares for their students and go the extra mile to provide personalized instruction. They are committed to continuously expanding their knowledge and working hard to give their students the best possible musical education. The care that they put into every lesson ensures that you are in good hands. They are anything but boring and it’s well worth the time to explore music lessons through their school. Highly recommend!!!

The Crescendo Behind Garrett Music Academy

The heart, vision and dedication to building a musical academy focused on lessons for everyone, everywhere over the years is all thanks to our founder, Krista Garrett.

The Crescendo Behind teachers

In 2004, Krista founded Garrett Music Academy to provide musical guidance and education to all in Maryland and beyond. No matter your skill level, no matter your age, she wants everyone to have the opportunity to learn music with professionals in a safe and welcoming space.

She also believes that we can use music for more than just establishing a tone or learning a new skill. It’s all about learning more about yourself, having a supportive community, finding your voice, and embracing the music.
