When Samuel Faraci opened the New City School of Music in 2014, he never imagined that seven years later he would have two locations (the other being the Harrison School of Music in Westchester County, NY), and would have grown from zero students to close to 700 students coming to lessons each week. These children, teens and adults receive weekly private and small group music lessons in piano, guitar, drums, singing, violin, bass, ukulele, saxophone, flute, clarinet and more. The New City School of Music is located at 14 North Main Street, New City, NY 10956.

Samuel Faraci received his Master’s of Music Degree from the University of Miami, and holds a Bachelors of Music from Providence College, and has been a professional musician since 2005. In 2020, Mr. Faraci authored “The Definitive Guide To Music Lessons”, which is a book for music students and parents of music students on how to get the most out of the musical journey – whether it is to play for fun, as a hobby, or pursue music as a career.
