AFA is Houston’s largest non-profit provider of comprehensive music education programs for young people who reflect the diversity of our region. Celebrating a quarter-century of service to the Houston community of 2020, AFA has grown from a small summer program to serving thousands of young musicians who participate in programs year round.

In the meantime, check out our Houston Girls Chorus, Chamber Music Academy, Composer Institute and AFA First Piano programs for space available in spring sessions. Visit AFATEXAS.org for details!
