How Do Piano Lessons Work at Joe Ferrante Music Academy?
At the Joe Ferrante Music Academy, each lesson has three major components. The first segment is devoted to last week’s lesson assignment where the student gets a chance to demonstrate what they’ve worked on. The second component is time spent on technical development and music theory training. Students are taught how to read music, increasingly complex rhythms, note interval recognition, ear training, and chord construction. The third component is introducing the next assignment and teaching the student the important elements of their new song(s).
"I’ve seen my children grow into strong, confident musicians. Their development has been staggering."
My daughter has attended this academy for over three years. She has made wonderful progress. Furthermore, her musical development has improved her academic development. She achieved Principle Honor Roll all three trimesters this year. We couldn’t be more pleased with Joe Ferrante Music Academy.”
“My son Michael has learned how to be confident in public. His vocal skills have excelled through the roof and the improvement in his motor skills has been steadily improving.”
“My children have been with the academy for three years: it has become a part of their daily lives. My oldest daughter was first to learn piano and my son followed by taking violin with Candace. He really loves Ms. Candaces enthusiasm and teaching style. We wouldn’t go to anyone else.”
“Its like a big family here. The teachers and staff are constantly encouraging me to be the best I can be. I dont know where I would be without my amazing teacher!”
“Thank You Melissa for helping with my confidence in singing and also telling me that I am capable of hitting those notes!”

My 5 year old son wanted to take piano lessons so we reached out to JF music academy. They were running a special for January plus a free introductory class. Ms Lorraine is our sons teacher and he's really enjoying his sessions. He is enjoying his sessions so I'm hoping he will continue his Interest in learning.

Nicest people in the world! I brought my niece for her first guitar and the teacher was great, along with the young lady who helped us out in the front. My niece is loving the lessons and I couldn't be happier about who amazing they are l, and the level of professionalism.

I started taking guitar lessons with Alex about 2 months ago. It has been fantastic. Everyone at the school is incredibly nice, and it really has a low-key small town community type atmosphere. My lesson is one of the best parts of my week and I look forward to it every time. Most of the students are children, but I'm not. If you think you are too old to start an instrument or to take music lessons, you are incorrect! It's never too late to strike up the band. Give it a try, you will be glad you did.

They're really professional there. I got to take piano lessons while in high school, and although I didn't appreciate it then, it was a great experience. I later took guitar and piano lessons there as an adult, and I was happy with their teachers. The staff was always accommodating. When I have kids, I will definitely be taking them there. The teachers are great!

Online zoom call lessons have been working great. Patient teachers, service oriented front desk staff, charter school payment allowed. This place has been excellent for my 3 children. We took guitar, song writing, mandarin, piano, and tried out a music application type class for our youngest preschool age child.
