Arts Detroit

Originally founded in 2005 as the Adriane Galea Studio of Voice & Piano, Arts Detroit has evolved into much more. In 2010, we officially made the transition into a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation (Center Stage Studios), and Arts Detroit operates as the music and drama education component. We are involved in giving back to the community as often as possible and strive to create a fun, dynamic environment in which to learn and that others can enjoy.

Arts Detroit is proud of our current students and alumni, who have excelled in all areas of the arts. Our students have gone on to study Music/Theatre in phenomenal programs such as New York University, Otterbein College, and Nebraska Wesleyan University. Many of our students have been recipients of the North American Invitational Championship awards in both Broadway and Classical Voice, American Guild of Music All Around winners, received ratings of 1 (the highest ranking) at Michigan Solo and Ensemble and Michigan Thespian Festival competitions, and have won more than one thousand competitive awards and trophies collectively.

If you choose to study at Arts Detroit, you can expect to receive extremely high quality instruction from an instructor with 17 years teaching experience and who is incredibly dedicated to advocating for arts education and to her students. You and/or your child will have access to performing in recitals and competitions, both locally and throughout North America.
