The instructor Fernanda gets 5+ stars. She’s great with my daughter and my daughter seems to be learning a lot.
The lessons are pretty affordable for me.
Why 4 stars and not 5? They sold me a keyboard with the extras for a ‘discounted’ rate of about $ 300. I found it for $ 150 online. The manager was willing to work with me on the price but couldn’t match the online price which I understand. But double? Hmmmm. They let me return it, so that was good. The books are also more expensive then say Amazon. If you have Amazon and are a prime member I’ve found the books are almost half the cost of what they’re selling them for. I realize online is always going to be cheaper but they’re not even close.

Joe Ferrante Music Academy… ROCKS!!!
My daughter takes piano and voice lessons here since 2009. I am happy with her progress in music especially how much she’s learned.
Music theory
Reading music sheets
Music awareness
Not to mention, gaining confidence. Engaging in regular recital singing in front of audience and playing the piano has really helped her confidence level.
We will continue to take music lesson at this school.

My son has been taking piano lessons from this school for about three years and has just recently taken up voice. He has had several piano teachers over the years and all have been excellent. They are patient and understanding, yet still insist on disciplined practice to instill the lessons. They teach both theory and practical applications and will not advance a student if they haven’t earned it! All of the instructors and staff are wonderful and caring. I cannot say enough great things about this school!

My daughters, age 5 and 6, love taking piano lessons here. The teachers and staff are very friendly and professional. They have a nice facility located in Old Town Monrovia with lots of parking. The academy holds regular recitals for students of all levels. My daughter was so excited to play in her first recital, it was a very positive experience. I would highly recommend this music academy.

My 5 year old daughter started piano lessons at Joe Ferrante Music Academy 6 months ago. She started with a free trial piano lesson. I had left it up to my daughter to decide if she wanted to continue with it — we would support her. Note: my daughter has never had any music lessons, except for singing songs in preschool. My daughter immediately loved it. She’s had a few teachers that are great with the younger kids — Andrea, Mandy, Summer, Michelle, and now Sharon — really patient and goes at the pace of your child. They have many other teachers that are more rigorous for older children and adults. Her teachers have given our daughter a positive first experience with music, which we can only imagine has a great impact on her intellectual and artistic development. Be sure to ask for a teacher that specializes in the appropriate age group. Be warned that there will be ups and downs with learning an instrument. At first it’s novel and fun, then it becomes hard, and frequent practice is important. I had to reward my daughter to practice. Your child might seem frustrated but you have to be creative. The more she practiced, the more rewarding it became. Joe Ferrante also has a great incentive system — students get «bucks» for each time they practice and for doing well during their lesson. They turn in their bucks for prizes that are prominently displayed in a glass case in their waiting room.

My two sons took their first piano lessons here and they enjoyed every minute. The staff is wonderful, and always helpful and encouraging. The boys always looked forward to lessons. The incentive system they have, works very well. Wifi in the waiting room helps to get work done while your waiting.

My daughter has been taking piano and guitar lessons for a couple years. She really enjoys the opportunity to perform in the recitals. I can’t say enough about the quality of the instruction. This is a top notch academy that knows how to develop musical talent.

I’ve been taking guitar lessons here when I have spare time from my job. My son also takes piano lessons here. He’s doing really well in his studies and he sounds good at home. I’m enjoying getting back into guitar with the help of my teacher. Our family has had a good experience here so far. Parking is plentiful and free. There are a lot of shopping centers nearby. The facilities are clean and high quality. My son takes lessons on a nice baby grand piano and I like that. We don’t have one at home so I am really pleased knowing he has an opportunity to use one every week. The staff is friendly. The teachers are professional. And we keep coming back every semester for more.
