Learn Music & Performance Skills with University Trained Instructors
The Fleming School of the Arts - Serving Erie area & online students around the globe since 2007.
A note from founder and award-winning entrepreneur, Carla Fleming (CarlaQuarius):
Welcome to the Fleming School and our digital home!
It's been an honor serving our hard working and talented students for 15 years!
What began as a small but quality music school inside an old remodeled barn in Lake City, PA, has morphed into our beloved and global school of many arts of all kinds.
Over the years we've offered lessons, classes, recitals, and master workshops in everything from music, composition, language arts, dance and belly dance, yoga, creative writing, drawing, painting, photography, and more!
All the while, as my own journey in the arts has unfolded, I became aware that my passion for the art of personal development was one of the most important topics we could offer.
In addition to teaching our regular music and arts lessons, I've since become a Certified High Performance Coach and have added many new offerings to broaden the definition of the arts at our school.
My co-founder and guitar, bass, and ukulele instructor James (also the love of my life!) and I both became graduates of High Performance Academy. We love helping our students use the high performance strategies we've learned to enhance their performances, practice and creative discipline, and mindfulness skills as they progress in their musical and artistic journeys.
Sp please enjoy exploring and while you're here go ahead and schedule a complimentary 15-minute Music / Arts Connection Session directly with me to decide which of our offerings may be best for you. I'm happy to help you find your passion or choose a great place to start!
Nothing makes a more meaningful gift in my view, to both give or receive, than a gift revolving around personal growth, connection, education, communication, or the arts - all the things that seem to make the time we spend on our planet so very special.
And as always, just reach out to me here via my Contact Form with any questions you may have at all.
I'll reply personally and I look forward to helping you find that special gift for yourself or that special someone.
Wishing you a fabulous year full of abundance and growth!
Many blessings & much love,
Carla

"As University trained musicians and international performers my co-founder James and I have been teaching music for 25+ years.
At our home studio, downtown Erie locations, Mercyhurst University, and virtually via FaceTime or Zoom, we offer piano lessons, ukulele lessons, voice coaching, guitar and bass lessons, theory, ear and pitch training, and performance coaching to students of all ages: babies to adult.
There is no minimum age requirement to begin lessons as it is never too early or too late to learn music!
We feel blessed to help musicians find and develop their sound and I believe music makes the world a better place. Our students love our state of the art studios, professional lessons and recitals, and our convenient locations.
As High Performance Academy Graduates we also instill a holistic approach to the student's practice routine, mental discipline, confidence, creative expression, and performance skills." ~Carla & James

He’s just really good and he’s got it all up here.I’m so happy with the hourlong lesson and there’s nothing like having your instructor right there with you. You learn faster. This is the thing that I really enjoy in life right now. And James is always positive. He’s telling you what you’re doing well at and then he’s always coaching you to work harder where you can improve."
