Welcome to The Performing Arts Institute of Virginia where we are dedicated to enriching lives through musical excellence with professional instruction by Artist Faculty for all ages and levels of ability.
We have been teaching music lessons in our community since 1981!
Artist Faculty work with students in a nurturing environment, enabling students to recognize, develop and achieve their goals while fostering lifelong skills and respect for the arts; enhancing the cultural development and quality of life in our region.
Students learn far more than the essential elements of music. They learn lifetime skills and life lessons about respect, responsibility, perseverance and diligence while developing personal and artistic growth.
Our students are community recitalists, as well as local, regional, state and national award recipients.
I am proud of our students, our quality faculty and of how strongly the community has embraced our mission.
It is my pleasure to invite you to explore this community enriching resource committed to making music an important part of our lives as we continue to serve southwest Virginia and beyond.
Margo Easter, Founding Executive Director
