About Verdi Music Academy

      Verdi Music Academy is a premier music academy in North New Jersey, founded in 2004. 

The highly esteemed director originally returned to New Jersey after years of operatic training in the musically rich country of Italy. His dream was to begin an excellent community music school offering lessons in a variety of instruments. Inspired by Italy’s greatest opera composer, Giuseppe Verdi, the school was named “Verdi Music Academy” and has been serving students young and older ever since.
