Franklin Music Academy has been an incredible place for my musical growth over the years. As a college student, I’ve been challenged with advanced pieces, and Mr. JP always explains complex concepts in a way that makes them manageable and rewarding. He’s extremely skilled at teaching difficult material and pushing students to reach their full potential. I’m truly thankful for the high-quality training I’ve received here.

We are so happy to support this local, small, family-owned business. They have excellent communication and reasonable rates in addition to their all-star staff. If you're looking for the perfect music school for your child, you've found it. Thanks Franklin Music Academy!

Absolutely LOVE Franklin Music Academy. JP and team are running a wonderful school and their methods of teaching really work. We get to work with Nate, who teaches my kiddo piano. Her improvement has been phenomenal. The way he teaches makes my kiddo want to be better every day. We had the joy of taking part in a recital and I absolutely fell in love with the school then - all the teachers are wonderful each with a different flare. I recommend meeting the teachers if you can, to see if one might be a better fit. Having said that, all the students performed wonderfully! Super excited to stay with the school for a very long time and bring my other kiddo when he's ready as well!

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
