ARS NOVA
SCHOOL OF THE ARTS

Nurturing the Art of Excellence

“If music be the food of love, play on.” – William Shakespeare

Welcome to our newest faculty!

Please welcome a new member of the Ars Nova Faculty.  Dr. Joseph Fleetwood will be teaching piano.  Joseph is highly experienced in two distinct but complementary schools of piano playing: The British school as established by Tobias Matthay, and the central European school established by Czerny, and taught through Leschetizky to the Schnabels. The guiding principles of both schools is beauty of tone and phrasing, in which the music is given space to breath, and the character of the music is allowed to speak to the audience through the performer. The Matthay tradition teaches that beautiful sound comes through physical relaxation and an understanding of the inner workings of both the player’s body and the piano, and the central European tradition teaches that characterization comes through the observation of proportions, and that tone production is a primary consideration integral to the structure of a piece.

Please welcome a new member of the Ars Nova Faculty. Josey Poppin will be teaching voice starting fall 2022. 

Please welcome a new member of the Ars Nova Faculty. Abigail Burger will be teaching violin, clarinet, and beginning piano.  We will offer a 10% discount for flute and clarinet students this fall – that’s lessons with Abigail or Charles Page!!

What people are saying.

How has Ars Nova has changed lives? Hear from the community.

Growing up in Ars Nova and being in countless shows prepared my me so much for the real world of being an active member of the arts community. Dr. Beazley countlessly and endless believed and supported me, something I can feel still to this day. Her spirit and generosity in the studio create a nurturing culture where the students support one another with truth and fullness! Dr. Beazley gave me the opportunity not only to refine my craft in performance, but offered a safe space for exploration within teaching, directing, and marketing. For all of this I am forever grateful!​

Former Student
Ars Nova is an exquisite program that advocates excellence in the arts via upper echelon instruction and magnificent productions. Helmed by the venerable and profoundly gifted Dr. Ginger Beazley, every single instructor and staff member at Ars Nova converges to create a learning environment that not only produces highly accomplished musicians and stellar productions, but does so in a manner that is genuinely beautiful and moving. It is an immense gift to every individual whom is lucky enough to attend a performance as well as to the community of Huntsville as a totality as it is a sterling example of what an arts organization should be.
