 Initiated
in the fall of 2000, the Fine Arts Society Music Academy is a weekly
after-school music education program for children. Scholarship-based keyboard lessons, music theory, and classical listening are provided to Indianapolis' economically disadvantaged elementary age students. The Fine Arts Society Music Academy teaches group keyboard lessons, music theory, and classical music listening to elementary age, economically disadvantaged children living in Indianapolis (particularly the southeast side Fountain Square neighborhood) and attending selected partner schools. Tuition free weekly classes include piano and theory instruction, a practice keyboard, and music materials. Scholarship students pay only a nominal registration fee and keyboard deposit. After completing the program, children may keep the keyboard.  After
two years of the Music Academy group classes, students may receive
a scholarship for private piano lessons at the University of Indianapolis
Community Music Center.
Students may also opt for private lessons offered by the Music Academy teachers. To help subsidize program costs for disadvantaged children, the Music Academy enrolls paying students from selected schools in Indianapolis, including St. Richard's School. Paying students may receive private piano or percussion lessons. The Music Academy recently added hand drumming and choir to its program offerings and plans to initiate a string program in the future. Approximately 79% of program participants qualify for free or reduced lunch programs.
