About Avalon
The Avalon School of Music provides musical instruction to students of all ages in the Greater Orlando Area. Our core efforts and focus are to provide the best educational services to our students. We provide year-round private music lesson programs that inspire students to do great in life.
We have a passion for all kinds of music ranging from Classical, Jazz, and Opera to Hip-Hop, R&B, Pop and Rock. Our students benefit from seeing our love for the art and from our personal attention to their individual needs. All of our private students receive a one-on-one customized lesson to help with both performance and theory as they progress. We help them develop a strong foundation which improves their performance in school, church, community, or a garage band! Whatever your musical goals may be, we will get you there! Our teachers are friendly and experienced professional musicians and educators, many of whom have Bachelors, Masters, and Doctorate Degrees. They love what they do and are thrilled to be sharing their wealth of knowledge with anyone with a willingness to learn.
We enjoy seeing our students achieve their goals, whether it is conquering their stage fright or making the all-county band/choir.
The Avalon School of Music was a dream, literally by its founder John Kolbrich. The concept of the school came to him one Sunday morning in early 2003. After having a clear vision of the school in his dream, John and his wife, Brenda, did some serious soul searching to make this a reality. John has been an active musician performing professionally for over 30 years but had always worked within the Information & Technology industry in Sales & Marketing for both small and large corporations. This dream, as it has turned out, was much larger than that 20 year career. Once the decision was made, there was never a moment of looking back!
By May 2003, John began teaching students on piano and trumpet. The months went by quickly and soon other instruments were added. Additional teachers where brought in to teach guitar, drums, sax, violin and later voice, bassoon, oboe, flute, and trombone. The school grew to 200 students being taught at the house every week! At that point, in mid-2004, a decision was made to open a brand new music center with a key focus on music education. For the students’ convenience, a retail & rental center was added to the model to service the school’s students, as well as local private teachers and musicians. With this new facility, John has shown us that dreams really can come true!
Founder John Kolbrich has had a strong passion for music since he was a young student himself. Born and raised in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, John was surrounded by music from an early age. His parents, John and Paula, had a love for music and exposed and encouraged him and his older sister Erika to learn music early in life. John started taking private lessons on accordion at age seven and then picked up trumpet a few years later. At age nine, John decided he wanted to perform on stage. By high school, music was the center of John’s life. His high school band teacher, Mr. Tony Malokowsky, was a great influence and mentor to him. Mr. “Mal”, as he was known, was so dedicated to his students that when John wanted to play in the jazz band and did not have transportation, Mr. Mal would drive twenty four miles at 6:30 a.m. to pick John up. This was in an unheated VW Beetle in the Canadian winters!
John continued his studies in music through private lessons while attending DeVry University in Toronto where he studied Electronic Engineering and graduated in 1982. John studied at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto and also with well-know trumpet teacher, Rainer Schmidt. Rainer was a big influence in John’s musical life. As John puts it, “He changed the way I thought and played trumpet forever!” Rainer was principle chair at Toronto ‘s O’Keefe Center and he also performed in Rob McConnell’s Boss Brass, one of Canada’s top big jazz bands. John adopted Rainer’s methods and has taught his principles to all of his students.

For our new students, we offer a single lesson to try it out and make sure that the student is comfortable with their teacher. Our teachers work with the students to develop a custom-tailored curriculum that specifically meets the goals of the student.
Our teachers have worked with students of all ages from 3-80 years old and on most instruments and voice. We teach piano, voice, guitar, ukulele, drums, bass, strings, brass, woodwinds, and DJ lessons. Several of our teachers also have plenty of experience working with special needs such as autism, down syndrome, and ADHD.
Taking music lessons is important, but it is important to be thorough about who you hire. Your musical journey will be greatly influenced by the teacher you choose. In the beginning, you may not know what to look for in a teacher, which is why we work hard to select the best teacher for you based on your needs and goals.
Also, lessons are important, but it is important to have opportunities to apply what you have learned. We have 2 formal recitals every year, monthly mini-recitals at our local assisted-living center, numerous community events with performance opportunities, ensemble classes, festivals, and competitions. All of these add so much value to you as growing musician!
We are proud to be the largest private school of music in Central Florida featuring over 350 students in our Avalon Park location, and over 1000 students in our 5 locations.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
1. What do I want to accomplish with the lessons?

Great instructors and wonderful staff!
This school is awesome. And my 7 year olds' teacher, Miss Sarah, is perfect for him with patience, support and an abiity to reach him in a positive way. The waiting area can get crowded in the afternoons, but that is a good time to go and grab a coffee from a nearby eatery as a "timeout" for yourself. Great location and great teachers. Great value!
Friendly service and ckmefirable atmosphere ! Highly recommend!
Gave my son confidence and love for the instrument even more :) love it and his flute teacher, Jennifer, is awesome!
Alexander started violin lessons at Avalon School of Music as a beginner less than a year ago, but quickly progressed under the guidance of his teacher Justin Willoughby, who makes his lessons interesting while teaching the intricate techniques of playing the instrument. Alexander is fortunate to have Justin as his teacher.
Avalon School of Music simply rocks. Polite, friendly staff and teachers. Always helpful and go the extra mile as standard.
We have been attending this school over 2 years now, love the staff. Teachers are very caring, my kids always look forward for there music class.
My son David goes to Avalon School of Music for 4 years, studding piano.
He absolutely loves his teacher and environment. The teachers are very flexible. The child can combine different styles like jazz, classic, rock in his classes.
There are recitals twice a year to show his achievements to family and friends on the big stage.
The class is never missed, there is always make up or substitute teacher instead.
I highly recommend this school to anyone to wants to give high quality musical education to his child.
Special Thanks to Mr. Colby Peters!
IrinaMy son's instructor, Mr. Colby, is not only a talented musician, but also a skilled teacher who keeps my son engaged and excited about music. Thanks to Mr. Colby, my son continues to reach new levels of excellence as a percussionist.
We like that our son can work at his own pace and he is excelling. Mr. Diego is an amazing instructor who makes learning to play the piano an enjoyable experience for our son. The director Mr. Paolo is always very pleasant and ensures everything runs smoothly at Avalon School of Music!!
I absolutely love love love this school! The Director (Paolo) is very professional and accommodating. My son adores his instructor (Jean Carlo) and thanks to him, has developed an interest and love for the piano like never before. Jean Carlo is very patient and loving and knows how to keep my son engaged at all times. Thank you Avalon School of Music!
My stepdaughter’s aunt gifted her with lessons here and her mom has been taking her to classes and working with her on the violin! Her mom’s in person review: “Mr Justin and staff have been excellent in getting our daughter started with violin. Their patience with even the most beginner of player has allowed for our daughter’s excitement with learning a new instrument remain week in and week out. We strongly recommend you give Avalon School of music a try.”
Every interaction our family has had with the school has been wonderful!!Paulo is so kind and sweet to all who come through the door. Juan is such an amazing teacher to his students and he has a marvelous way about making them feel so special. I really like the new monitor that shows all the students in their rooms whilst having lessons. Kudos to a great team at the Avalon School of Music.
In 6 weeks my kids performed. Six weeks! The teachers are phenomenal. The director works hard to place the students with a teacher who fits their personality (!!!). I could not recommend this music school any more.
My 4 boys have been taking lessons for voice, guitar, piano, drums and ensemble. The boys love their time with Z Paul Lucenti. He is their guitar and ensemble instructor. Jon Carlos is their piano and voice instructor and is very capable instructing a wide range of abilities. Nathon is the drum instructor and is excellent with Daniel my 12 year old. These guys are a fine bunch and are capable trading off roles when need be. For example, I have asked Jon Carlos to work one on one with Peter on piano, vocals and guitar while Paul works with the others. Thank you to Paolo for keeping the schedule straight. Thank you Avalon Music School. Dad
This is a wonderful place to learn piano and other instruments. Why? First, the Director (Paolo) is such a nice, sweet, kind and professional person who makes you feel like you are part of his own family. My son adores his piano instructor Jean Carlo. Why? Jean Carlo is a very professional, sweet, extraordinary and dedicated person like no one else! Highly recommend!
Great teachers and rehearsal spaces
We've been going there for a few years and they have been professional and accommodating. We highly recommend this place.

The stuff is nice and friendly. My son is 6 months here already, has guitar classes with teacher Adam, he started with zero level, and now he can play some songs and knows the basis.
We love it here. We have only been a few times, but it's amazing!
Our daughter has loved learning guitar here! The staff is super friendly and the is a nice touch.
Our daughter had the awesome opportunity to learn the drums with Colby. He made it so much fun playing along with the guitar. What a great interactive experience. Thank you.
Had my first lesson the staff is extremely friendly and professional, I was paired with Brian to learn guitar and he's great. We bonded tthe moment he commented on my ink. Can't wait for more lessons he made it fun.
Great teachers and a wonderful atmosphere!
What a business gem in Avalon Park. Offers a vast array of classes, instructors are awesome with the students, Staff is extremely nice and inviting to make you feel welcomed. If your looking for a place, stop in and they will give you a tour.
Our son started violin at Avalon School of Music a year ago and he loves it. The instructors are great with him and open to teaching many techniques. We just started guitar lessons for our youngest boy and it was a good experience too. Highly recommend this school. Kind and professional staff. Thank you!
To rent Henry's viola at Avalon School of Music was the best decision ever! We can switch it out so it grows with him, and we have already built equity ($400!) once we are ready to purchase. And you can't beat the excellent, friendly, prompt service!
