Adam B. Young

Academy Founder, Guitar Teacher

Owner / Founder

Hey Everybody, Adam Young here. I am the owner of the new and most awesome Milton Pace Music Academy. In addition to being a Master Jedi, I have studied Music for over 45 years. I have taught full time since 2001 and have been teaching guitar since I was in my teens. I estimate that I have taught close to 500 people in my life. I have recorded on many albums, performed all over the United States and in several countries.

For me teaching kids music is my calling. I love to see a young one play their first few notes correctly and the smile that overcomes their face. I love to watch them grow and achieve in all aspects of their lives. My specialty is kids ages 5-15, but teach all levels and ages.

Some of the most meaningful moments in my life come from watching my students grow into adults. Many of them have achieved significant professions including full time jobs in the entertainment industry, a bunch of Music Majors, several lawyers, a few doctors, and most importantly: all of them have music permanently in their lives.

It has been my honor and joy to have assisted them in these achievements. I am very passionate about it, and there is no sign of slowing anytime.

I perform regularly, I record, I write, and I teach. That is my professional world. I will never take it for granted. I am truly a grateful man.

Miss Angel Rossi

PIANO TEACHER

My name is Miss Angel Rossi. I am 28 years old and was raised in a Christian, musically oriented house. I started learning piano when I was 4 years old and have now been playing for 24 years. I graduated with the Alfred’s Piano Program when I was 14 years. Piano is my passion and music has been my greatest support in my life.

I taught piano for a year in my early 20s and loved teaching others the great experience of music. I branched out from piano and taught preschool for 3 years. However, I always incorporated piano and music into my classrooms.

I have centered myself back to piano teaching and look forward to focusing on bringing the wonderful art of music into others lives. I teach ages 5-15 from beginners to advanced. Lessons are conducted at the Milton Pace Music Academy in Milton, Florida.

First lesson / meet and greet is always FREE!!!

Ms. Ann Leffard

Hello everyone! My name is Ms. Ann Leffard, and I huge lover of music! I am a music educator with 41 years of teaching experience. I earned my master’s degree in flute performance from The Florida State University, and am also the former Principal Flutist of the Pensacola Symphony Orchestra. I have taught private flute lessons to students of all ages throughout my career.

Music has really always been where I have felt most at home, and I know that music holds the same magic for so many children. It involves mind, body, and spirit simultaneously in an all-encompassing and fulfilling way. I have worked with children of all ages through my music education career, pre-k through college-age. I was a band director for 18 years of my teaching career, so I have helped many flutists as well as other instrumentalists succeed in large and small ensembles, as well as solos.

I am a flute specialist, and can help your young flutist from the beginner stages through advanced and into college. I also am qualified to teach the wind band instrument to beginners (flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet, trombone, and baritone). I can help your student get a great start their first year to give them a solid foundation for success!
