We believe that learning the piano can be a fun and enjoyable experience. Our students learn valuable life skills like perseverance, patience, attention to detail, confidence and a greater ability to communicate.

We have served the greater Folsom area since 1996. We take pride in teaching students how to read music and become proficient piano players. Our staff consists of dedicated teachers with advanced degrees in piano performance and pedagogy. Each teacher is encouraged to collaborate with their co-teachers to provide students with the best experience possible.  We tailor our methods so that each student can enjoy a lifetime of music and reach their full potential.

With the advent of group lessons, hundreds of students, including adults, have been able to experience the joy of learning how to play the piano at Folsom Piano Academy. By using a digital piano lab with headphones, students receive individualized instruction in a group setting and develop confidence in playing for others.

Whether the lessons are for an adult or a child, you have the choice between several different options for piano lessons. We invite you to tour our studio and come experience the excitement of music!

SOME OF FPA'S STORY (HOW IT CAME TO BE)

Jeanette's Corner

sOM

It's really mind-boggling that I started FPA 30 years ago.

At the time, I was living in Galt (because that's where we were able to afford our first home) and my parents were living in EDH off Francisco Dr.

I would take the scenic Blue Ravine Rd all the way up to EDH. Folsom was relatively small. Nothing existed beyond Home Depot on E. Bidwell!

All I can say is that there was something about the energy I felt in Folsom that just made me feel comfortable and welcomed. My son was born in 1992, and my husband was working in the Latrobe Business Park, so I knew we were destined to eventually move out to the general area.

My first location was the little strip center on S. Lexington, literally a block away from our current location. I remember the nervous feeling of going out on a limb and signing the 1-year lease agreement. I didn't have a single student!

With my dad's advice and encouragement, I took the leap of faith!

I'll be sharing more stories throughout the year as I reflect on 30 years of sharing my love of teaching with the wonderful community of Folsom!

Happy Practicing!
