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

I don't remember exactly when we started visiting assisted living facilities for the holidays, but I know it's been a long time. We used to travel as far as Downtown Sacramento, Roseville and Shingle Springs. The goal was always to find a place with a nice piano and the opportunity to share music. Once, we even took students to Nordstrom at the Roseville Galleria (back when they had pianos). They piped the students' performances all throughout the store. What a thrill!

Does anyone remember Borders Music and Cafe? It opened in 2000 in the Broadstone Marketplace. I was so excited when I saw a grand piano in their cafe area. I'm sure you can guess what I did next! I don't remember how many years we went there, but it was great fun. Families could order a holiday drink, sit back and enjoy some music. The patrons enjoyed it as well while shopping for books and holiday gifts. Sadly they closed in 2011. Today, the space is occupied by Total Wine & More.

Oakmont of Folsom opened in 2014. We've gone every Christmas (except 2020). Oakmont of El Dorado Hills opened in 2019 and Revel of Folsom in 2022. I'm so proud that we have been able to enrich the lives of so many residents as well as our students through our community outreach.

Sharing the holiday spirit through music has been a long FPA tradition we're proud of and will continue to do. Thank you to all our families for signing up and helping to make this beautiful tradition a reality. We are grateful to our students for sharing their talent, and their hearts this holiday season.

Happy practicing!
