Los Angeles Music and Art School

Established in 1945, the Los Angeles Music and Art School (LAMusArt) offers sequential, multidisciplinary, quality individual and group arts training to the community of East Los Angeles in music, visual art, dance and drama to all students, regardless of age, financial need, ethnicity or artistic aptitude.

LAMusArt is dedicated to the underserved but vibrant community of greater East Los Angeles, impacting approximately 605 students each month and providing services to a total of 100,000 students since 1945. Approximately 95% of our students reside in the City and County of Los Angeles, predominantly East Los Angeles, Boyle Heights, Downtown and South Los Angeles neighborhoods, along with the adjacent communities of Montebello, Monterey Park and Whittier.

Students are instructed by a staff of teaching artists who truly invest in the lives and futures of their students while bringing their own spark of enthusiasm and creativity to the classroom. They are also given ample opportunity throughout the year to shine onstage as they gain self-confidence, poise and experience during one of LAMusArt’s diverse and multi-faceted recitals, concerts or programs.
