Our greatest joy at CAM is equipping our students, through music, art, and musical theatre, to have happy, fulfilling lives. Private lessons, group classes, workshops, and summer camps inspire our students towards greater confidence and creativity. We invite you to come and experience the CAM difference!
Our website provides an excellent overview of the programs offered at Charlotte Academy of Music. However, the intangibles, those things that color and enliven our programs, cannot be sufficiently described in print. The caliber, the exuberance and skill of our faculty, the joy and natural progress in our classes and summer camps, the commitment to music theory and a deeper understanding of music, the multitude of performance opportunities, access to guest composers and clinicians in master classes and so much more - these are what need to be experienced directly.
Each SPLASH! summer camp is taught by a Charlotte area professional teaching artist who will inspire and encourage your child!. Summer Camps are not just fun; they help build creativity, confidence and critical thinking. Whether your child is a quiet "behind the scenes" player or an outgoing "center stage" star, this is the place to nurture their talent! At CAM, you'll find Art, Music, Musical Theatre, and specialty Theme camps.
The Disney Movie that has enchanted our hearts and taken the world by storm (sorry Moana, but everyone is talking about a new magical family now!) Come join Mirabel, Isabella, Antonio, and the rest of the Madrigals as we create magical art inspired by Encanto. We'll use our imagination and creativity as we make butterflies, Colombian rainforest creatures, paint our favorite characters from the movie, and so much more!
Karissa is an outstanding artist, having studied art at UNC Charlotte. She has taught summer camps at CAM for many years. This summer, Karissa will also be teaching our Avengers Academy, American Girl, and HogwARTs camps. She has boundless creativity! My daughter has adored every camp she has done at CAM.piano, art and musical theatre.

Cam is the best! If you want to learn piano or really anything else this is the place. Teachers are knowledgeable and help you learn to play what you are interested in, I highly recommend Cam to anyone of any age.

CAM is an amazing school! Great teachers, lovely staff and a school full of exciting activities! My son started piano at age 5 and now 4 years later he can play well and use his talent in church. Thank you so much CAM!

My daughter is currently in Violin Camp and she wakes up early every morning because she is so excited. We wanted to try this camp to make sure that this was something our daughter would stick with. She has learned so much this week. After 4 straight days of camp she is still asking for Lessons and is keeping her dream of being like Lindsay Sterling one day. The entire staff is friendly and organized. This program has been a great start to my daughter's musical future. Next step lessons...... Thank you CAM

My son took private lessons and was in Glee Club several years ago. We all loved it! The staff was so supportive and the performances were just FUN! We still have friends we made from our time at CAM.

Charlotte Academy of Music is a great place to learn to play any type of musicial instrument. I have taken piano lessons for several years and I can see the difference in my skills from the time I started. As an adult student I enjoy that the lessons are tailored to that of an adult learner. There is never a shortage of performance opportunities and workshops to enhance your creativity and your playing skills. I encourage anyone that is looking for a great environment to learn music to give Charlotte Academy of Music a try!

We are long-time clients of the Charlotte Academy of Music--what an amazing place! The founder, Regina Ziliani, has created such a positive institution! We had the pleasure of watching Regina open the Academy when the demand grew too great to accommodate students in her home, and have had a front-row seats to see it grow and develop into the joyful, rich learning environment that it is.

Three of our daughters have been/are currently students of the Academy, and they love the positive learning environment, the joy and dedication of the staff, the multitudinous opportunities for performance, and the gentle encouragement to reach and stretch to new levels. The girls look so forward to their lessons, and continue to accomplish more and more musically each week.

The staff are all lovers of music, and it is contagious! I can't say enough great things about Charlotte Academy of Music! I feel very blessed to have found Regina 12 years ago, and expect the Academy to be a part of our lives for many many more years!

When my daughter began piano lessons, the owner, Regina took time to help with finding just the right piano to meet her needs. I appreciate the fact CAM is locally owned. Small businesses are the heart of our community. If you are looking for a great music school with a personal touch, this is the place to go.

We just absolutely LOVE Charlotte Academy of Music. It is not just a place to take lessons, but a community of teachers who truly care about each student and students that inspire each other. It is a family, not a business! I couldn't imagine my son going anywhere else. He has been taking lessons there for several years and has enjoyed lessons, workshops, performance opportunities, encourgement to see other musicians in all sorts of venues, CAM truly is beyond a music school!

The dedication and compassion for teaching is prevalent in each lesson my three children have taken at CAM. The transition from my home private lessons to academy is remarkable because my children have teachers who are fully invested in their music success. I really appreciate the administration and teachers supporting my family and allow my children to continue play. THANK YOU
