Founded in 2007, SOL-LA Music Academy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Santa Monica, California, whose mission is to provide an excellent and innovative arts education, at a minimal cost, to children from all backgrounds and income levels.

Core to our values is the conviction that exposure to performing arts should be a formative part of every child's education. Innovative, progressive instruction combined with a close-knit arts community improves the quality of life, while creating healthier and happier societies. 

SOL-LA Music Academy's aim is to make music pertinent and exciting to today's youth.

SOL-LA tuition covers approximately 50% of our costs, and our vibrant performing arts program is made possible by generous contributions from our students, families, instructors, friends and community.
