History
Founded in 1995 by director Donna Schaffer, Summit Studios was initially run as a home business. In 2000, Donna and her husband, Tom, purchased and rehabilitated the present location at 421 Main Street in Manchester. The studio offers private music lessons on all instruments for all ages. Voice, dance, acting and magic lessons, along with ensembles and a variety of performance opportunities round out the studio's artistic offerings. Summit additionally offers instrument rentals, sheet music and supplies. We even have an on-site cafe serving up snacks and WiFi access so you can catch up on your email and web surfing while you wait for your child to finish their lesson!
