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!

I have to remind myself that what is normal and obvious to me, may not be so normal and obvious to a new family bringing a piano into their home. So where should the piano go in a home? I can unequivocally say that it should NEVER go in a child's room.

It is best to place the piano in a more prominent area of the home rather than tucked away in a room. Having the piano in a central location instills a sense of pride and ownership and let's the student know that their musical journey is important to the family.

It also allows for the family to be more actively engaged in their child's process by giving the family opportunities to praise, give support, and gentle reminders like sitting up straight or counting out loud. An engaged family will help a student feel more motivated and inspired to share their progress. This will greatly help a student's personal growth through music, contributing to their overall confidence and self-expression.

When the piano is easily visible, it also serves as a daily reminder for students to practice. The simple routine of a child practicing while mom cooks dinner makes them feel like they're a part of the family dynamic. Besides, it's also the best way to monitor and ensure that your child is indeed practicing.

I know that parents always want the best for their children and something as simple as where to place the piano in a home can have a major impact on the overall success of the student.

Pianos come in a variety of shapes and sizes and if anyone ever needs any guidance on the best spot for their piano, I am more than happy to visit your home and give you suggestions.

Happy Practicing!
