The Lawrenceville-Suwanee School of Music, an educational center that offers music
and art lessons in Gwinnett County, moved to a new location. The past location on Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road was 3,400 square feet and the new location on Collins Hill Road is 11,000 square feet! The music director anticipated a growth of clientele, starting the school with 25 students and growing to nearly 1,200 students today.
The new location provides students with spacious rooms, a large auditorium for recitals, an extended waiting area, and three big screen security cameras. The expansion of the music center gives instructors the opportunity to introduce new educational programs to the community. One program that has already been added to the list of classes is the music production program. The team designed a room that provides industry standard software for music technology instruction. Students learn how to mix music and record songs.
The Music Director, Mrs. Valencia Giles, shares her thoughts:
“We’ve made plans to celebrate our expansion at a special event held at the music school on July 29, 2023 at 10 am - 3 pm, our ribbon-cutting ceremony will start at 1 pm. In attendance will be our Vice Mayor, Austin Thompson, and council member, Victoria Jones, for our ribbon-cutting ceremony. This event will include free trial lessons, special student performances, bouncy house fun for the little ones, musical petting zoo, a tour of the school, refreshments, and detailed information about our music and art programs. We plan to thank the community for supporting our school at the celebration. As our enrollment numbers have increased, we’ve been able to provide financial assistance to individuals in the community who experience hardship. I think our school is unique in that we are providing more than music lessons to our students; we are providing life lessons with the opportunity to encourage students to make a difference.”
We’re thrilled that our accomplishments were celebrated in this article. Read Here
