More Than Piano Lessons
A supportive learning environment where students develop musical skills, confidence, and a lifelong love of music..
About Folsom Piano Academy
Since 1996, Folsom Piano Academy has provided a supportive and engaging environment where students can develop strong musical skills while discovering the joy of playing piano.
We believe music education is about more than learning notes and rhythms. Through piano study, students develop perseverance, patience, confidence, attention to detail, and the ability to work toward meaningful goals.
Our approach combines thoughtful instruction, a proven educational pathway, and a supportive community where students are encouraged to progress, succeed, and develop a lifelong love of music.
Our Teachers
Our teaching team brings together accomplished music educators and extensively trained group instructors who share a commitment to providing a consistent, high-quality student experience. Private instructors hold degrees in music and are members of the Music Teachers’ Association of California, while our group instructors receive extensive training in FPA’s curriculum and teaching approach.

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

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!
