“I believe every student deserves the opportunity to study with an enthusiastic and knowledgeable teacher, who not only cares about his or her progress but can also empathize with the challenges of performance.  Private lessons enable teachers to create custom lesson plans to best suit each student’s unique taste in music.  At Joe Ferrante Music Academy, we pride ourselves on having just the right conditions to make learning fun. 
   When you first come to the Academy, you will see that things are different here.  Take our Academy bucks program, where students earn gift certificates, toys and other prizes for their weekly practice sessions at home.  Or our awards recitals where each performer takes home a custom, engraved trophy.  Not sure how your student is doing in lessons?  Our written progress reports are mailed home on a regular basis and show a clear check list of what techniques have been learned so far, and what is still waiting to be conquered. We believe in the Academy experience so much, we will even give you the first lesson on us.”   -Joe Ferrante
 
 Each lesson is taught under the oversight and philosophy of Joe Ferrante, a graduate of the USC Thornton School of Music in Music Theory & Composition with an emphasis in Scoring for Motion Pictures and Television.  Joe has studied Concert Piano extensively in New York and France with Jeaneane Dowis-Lipman, formerly of the Juilliard School, as well as at Mannes College of Music in Manhattan.  Recently, Joe composed, conducted and recorded seven original film score compositions for professional symphony orchestra at Paramount Pictures.

Progress Reports
Unlike other schools that let parents do the guessing as to their child’s progress, at the Academy we offer our one-of-a-kind STEP Program (Student Test and Evaluation of Progress), which gives a detailed, step by step report on the student’s progress for the last semester and how they can improve in the next semester.
 

Practice Incentives
The Academy is proud to offer a proven incentive method for students: the Academy Bucks program, which allows students to earn bucks based on how often they practice at home, and on the quality of their progress each week they attend lessons.  Students have a wide array of prizes and gift cards to choose from in the Academy Store that can be redeemed with Bucks.
