Powered by GoogleOur 7-year-old has been taking piano lessons here for almost two years, and we’ve had such a wonderful experience. We love supporting a local small business and the sweet family who owns and runs the school. All of the teachers are friendly and genuinely seem to enjoy what they do, and we’ve always felt welcomed and comfortable here. JP has been especially fantastic with our daughter. His teaching style is a great balance of simple and straightforward, yet still challenging, and he even injects a little humor into lessons. The progress she’s made during her time here has been incredible, and we’re excited to see how much more confidence and skill they continue to help her build. We’re so grateful to have found this school and highly recommend it to anyone looking for music lessons for their children!
My son has been studying piano at Franklin Music School for nearly two years now, and his passion for music has grown tremendously. A huge thank you to JP, who is an incredibly patient and engaging teacher. He has a unique way of making piano lessons fun and exciting, which keeps my son motivated and eager to learn. It’s been a joy to watch him develop his skills and love for the instrument. I highly recommend Franklin Music School to any parent!
We love Franklin Music Academy! My daughters have loved taking piano lessons with Ms. Amy. It’s a professional yet warm environment with knowledgeable teachers.
We have had an amazing experience at Franklin Music Academy! Our 8yr old has taken guitar with Alex for 10 months and the progress she has made has been astounding. She just played the guitar and sang in her school talent show for 500 people thanks to Alex’ help. Not only did he help her to turn her 4minute song choice into 3 minutes, highlighting her favourite parts, he worked with her on chords, confidence and she had a blast through it all. He loaned her a foot stool and a tuner for the show and she walked on stage and performed for the first time ever and was so confident and prepared and couldn’t wait to tell Alex all about it- who was just as excited to hear all about it. She’s come such a long way in such a short period. The chart really helps her see her progress and she loves her lessons. I chatted with a dad who had his child in piano there for 3 months with Alex and we both couldn’t believe how well our kiddos were doing and how much they were enjoying it. We feel really grateful to have found FMA and, for us, Alex in particular- he’s a wonderful teacher and a great role model for our kiddo (I hear other lessons going on with another teacher and they sound just as amazing!). The owners Shani and JP are also really easy to reach, responsive, communicate clearly and have really made this feel like a community vs just lessons. We can’t wait for Rock Band camp and are really looking forward to the year ahead!
Our experience with beginner piano lessons for our son has been terrific! From day one, Nathan has been patient, motivating and not to mention an excellent instructor. We highly recommend Franklin Music Academy. - the Poffs
