Introduction: EVERY QUERY ON THUMBTACK IS EXPENSIVE for us, and we choose to not pay their rates. WE WOULD BE DELIGHTED IF YOU WOULD CONTACT US BY VISITING OUR WEBSITE AT fpmusic.academy. We offer lessons in drum, guitar, lute, mallet percussion, music theory, piano, violin, and voice including musical theatre and speaking theatre. Any of these musical instruments can be learned remotely! fp Music Academy’s guiding motto is “Learning That Fits Your Lifestyle”. If you prefer to learn in the comfort and convenience of your own home, we can be there. If you prefer to stay distant and learn online one-on-one, we can be there. If your schedule changes rapidly and you just can’t commit to a single day and time forever, we can adapt with you to fit with your personal schedule. Our teachers each teach from their own studios, offering you your choice of musical instrument with flexible scheduling and personalized instruction. Each of our teachers has a rate that is tailored to their level of experience. With us, you pay a $50 one-time enrollment fee, then only the teacher's rate. You can buy all of your needed books and supplies from us - even teacher-approved musical instruments! fp Music Academy also offers collaborative learning opportunities, sales of supplies, sales and rentals of teacher-approved musical equipment, rewards you can earn and redeem here or at local businesses, and more to come! You don’t just take music lessons here, you become part of a greater community of musician learners. Whether you have never played a musical instrument before, whether you have taken lessons for years from other teachers, whether your child wants to start learning, whether you would like to play on your own or with a group of musicians, fp Music Academy can help you take the best next steps in your musical journey. Off-street parking, comfortable seating, and free WiFi are available for guests at fp Music Academy’s home office, which is also Fairfax Piano's professional studio. Check out fp Music Academy’s website and social media (look for fpmusicacademy). Inquire today!

I have nothing but good things to say about Mike from fp Music Academy. As soon as I put up a request, he quickly reached out to me to setup an introductory call to see whether we are a good fit. After the call, I felt very relieved that I'm in good hands with Mike and Carl because they explained how the lessons will work and how the programs would go even beyond the basic lessons. I told Mike I would like to play a song on a piano in the next few months and he assured me that this is entirely possible and setup a customized plan for me that works for me! I would highly recommend fp Music Academy for anyone interested to learn piano or take some voice lessons. I may leave a follow-up review after a few months again.

Mike was right on time and went right to work. He had all the tools he needed and required nothing from us. He gave good advice on maintaining our piano and promised to return with a part that he didn't have. Highly recommended!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Each teacher in fp Music Academy has their own rate. The reason for this is simple: you get what you pay for. You pay more for lessons from a highly-experienced teacher, and you will get more from those lessons. We offer lessons in your home or one-on-one online as well as lessons in one of our studios. You may pay a little more for lessons in your home, but the convenience is well worth it for some of our students! Lesson scheduling is flexible from the start and can change from week to week to accommodate your busy schedule. Lessons are usually prepurchased in blocks of 4, but can be purchased individually. When you order a block of 4 lessons, those lessons are valid for 40 days - this gives you flexibility in case of illness, travel, or other considerations - and each lesson in placed on the schedule at the time of order. You get free calendar invites for each lesson scheduled, and free text and email reminders an hour before each lesson. Piano tuning is offered through our Fairfax Piano studio and is a $110 flat rate no matter the type or age of the piano. If the piano needs additional service, you will be informed of its need and you will be given the option to have it repaired before any work is done. The serial number of your piano is kept on file, so if it needs parts at a later time, a simple call to Fairfax Piano can start that process without having to schedule a separate visit.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Our first meeting is free.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our teachers are skilled in their instrument, and we prequalify each of our teachers so you can be assured of a solid educational experience.
