Can I buy a couple of piano lessons just to see if I like it?

We offer a free trial piano lesson to make sure it’s the right fit for you. After that, you can choose to buy one month of piano lessons at a time (4 lessons), or purchase a 3 or 6-month lesson package for a discount.

How quickly will I learn different hand positions on my instrument?

You will learn basic hand positions in your first month of study and then progress to more advanced positions.

How old does my child have to be to take private piano lessons?

We highly recommend that the child be 4 to 4 ½ to begin piano lessons. For younger students age 3+ we offer our wonderful Pre-K Exploration Class.

What are the requirements to take jazz piano lessons?

An understanding of basic piano theory and demonstration of skill on the instrument.

Do you teach adults as well?

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!”
