My daughter has had such a great experience taking music lessons at the Fall RiverArts Academy. I especially appreciate that she was paired with someone to fit her personality. It has given her the confidence to keep going and strengthened her passion in music. Not to mention great staff who are always helpful and kind. Highly recommended!

Leo and Rex are really enjoying their guitar/drum lessons and are showing a lot of progress in little time. Between Matt teaching Leo bar chords on guitar and Crosby laying down the fundamentals for Rex to learn on drums, they will form the greatest rock group of all time! We are super pleased withthe staff, they are kind, courteous, and knowledgeable. Would recommend everyone go check this place out whether you need some musical equipment or lessons, they have it all covered for you!

My son has been taking piano lessons for a few months now and he absolutely loves it. His teacher Nolan has a great personality and does a great job teaching my son Jacob the best way Jacob can learn. From the moment my son and I walk in, we are greeted into a friendly atmosphere!!! I would recommend Fall River Arts Academy to anyone who is interested in music/voice lessons. ☺️

My 8 year old daughter has been with FRAA for 1 year and we just love it here. We would recommend this art school over any in the area. All the staff members are just so friendly and welcoming and they know how to make you feel extremely comfortable. The flexibility is amazing, when we cant make it to a class they have no problem with finding a make up day for her. She takes piano with Ms. Deb whom she loves but she is leaving the Academy but i have no doubt her replacement will be just as amazing because they really take their time finding quality teachers for their students. She also takes voice with Ms. Danny who is amazing with Essence and she adores her. Shes al positive and patient with her . we love it . If we could give a 10 star we would. ♥️♥️♥️

This place is the bees knees!!!! My 8yo daughter is a little over a month into drum lessons with Zig and she absolutely loves it!!!She is always super excited for her weekly jam session. The entire staff has been so pleasant and accommodating to us. Her instructor, Zigmund, is an incredible teacher and has made my kiddo feel so comfortable and excited to learn the drums! He always gives her great constructive feedback whilst ensuring her she is doing a great job. It has been a great confidence booster for her and we really appreciate the love and dedication he puts into each class.Keep up the great work guys! We thank you so so so much xo

Being a 32 year old I was already kind of on the fence with learning the piano for the first time. Nolan has been amazing with teaching me everything about the piano and making me feel confident, enough so that I will playing in their summer recital. The women at the front desk are so friendly and take the time to talk and ask how everything is going. Would recommend!!

The staff are incredibly friendly and professional; I always look forward to my weekly piano lesson with Steve! They are great about communicating when I need to reschedule a lesson and the availability of tech tools to help me practice at home is super helpful!

Just had my 1st piano lesson with Nolan on Zoom. I was a nervous wreck but really want to learn to play better. From the second he said “Let me tell you about myself” and then asked about me, I felt this was the man that was going to help me. His enthusiasm and style exactly fit my goals. I have my assignment and can’t wait for my next lesson. The Academy is friendly, understanding and provides excellent training and service. Don’t hesitate. If you want to learn or improve any musical related skill, give them a call!Nancy Simonin

This place is awesome! I have two children in lessons here. One child is in voice and one is in drumming. Miss Giulia is phenomenal at what she does, is incredible with children and understands the personalities of her students. Zigmond took on a 5 year old with no knowledge of drumming and I’m amazed at what my son has accomplished over the last year thanks to Zigmond’s lessons. The academy itself is in constant communication and keeps parents informed. They are laidback and personable, and extremely welcoming. Our family highly recommends Fall River Arts Academy.

Our two youngest daughters have always been homeschoolers, and have a very busy competitive dance schedule five to six days a week. They have wanted to take instrument lessons, but to find a time that works with their dance schedule wasn’t easy. Especially to have them both scheduled at the same time ! Eric for drums and Nolan for ukulele , both provide both our daughters with the tools to learn, have fun, become educated in more than just how to play said instruments, but also to be confident in a new activity for them. Through both of their encouragement, and patient, thorough way of teaching that works for each of our daughters , they have both come to love music even more and look forward to the day when they can possibly pursue another ! Thank you for laying a solid foundation and building them both up!

Fall River Arts Academy is the best. They have so many incentives for kids and families and really motivate their students to learn with their Musical Ladder System, where students earn awards such as wristbands, certificates, and trophies! When you walk in you are always greeted with a smile with kindness. You quickly feel like part of the FRAA family, here. You have easy access to music gear, and as a student you get a discount. They are always running different contests, recitals and even have, Band!My son really loves and looks forward to drum lessons with his instructor, Zig. Zig is super talented, patient, kind and quickly connected with my son making him feel comfortable and like a friend. In three short months my son has made tremendous progress with his rhythm, form and confidence. He has learned two complete AC/DC songs that he was able to choose to learn. He has advanced to an, Apprentice, on the musical ladder and he won an iPad through the last referral contest!We are so happy we picked Fall River Arts Academy!

FRA has been a haven for my children. With rigorous school and isolation from the pandemic, my son found a drum teacher who helps him channel his energy (Thanks, Eric), my daughter (5) loves meeting Ms. Katherine for violin and I see her growing every week and they always have fun every week at dance.

For some one my age to be able to connect with a teacher who is old enough to be my son and make me feel like I’m a person who can learn no matter what age is awesome. Nolan is so knowledgeable and encouraging and I couldn’t ask for any better.

We have enjoyed our time at the Fall River Arts Academy so much! Our kids have fallen in love with piano, large in part because of their teachers, Giulia and John. We are so grateful for the love of music they have instilled in our kids!

Best music school hands down! It is not just a music school for my son it is a place where he learns confidence and teamwork. They have helped him boost his self-esteem and make him feel like part of a family. They really care about the children and everyone is so patient and takes the time to say hello and ask how you are with a smile. We like it there so much that after he began lessons with the bass guitar he started taking voice lessons and plays in one of their bands. A+ school!!

Registration was smooth and painless. The staff there is always friendly and knowledgeable. They worked with me to find the best time that fit our family schedule. Simone has been amazing with my sons piano lessons. My son is not one to normally commit to a certain activity but he seems to be holding interest and enjoying his lessons. Im very happy that this place is here!

I began taking lessons in Oct 2019. I was unsure of my abilities. The staff at Fall River Arts Academy encouraged me with friendly smiles and positive greetings every lesson. I started out playing violin. Six weeks later I and decided to try the viola. Attracted by the alto tones of the viola I moved forward with my lessons with the support of my instructor Katherine.Today, Dec 15, 2019 was my first recital. I performed better than I expected. Beautiful music is within my grasp. I am surrounded by encouragement and its wonderful !There are so many talented people here. You never know what you can do until you try ! The smiles and applause will embrace your soul ❤

My 4 year old daughter has been taking lessons with Guilia for only a short 3 months without ever doing anything like this previously. At first it seemed it would be a bit too much for her but with great teaching, persistence and her love of music things turned around quickly. So quickly in fact that she was able to perform at todays recital in a room full of people singing a song off the top of her head for over 3 minutes without missing a beat and its all thanks to the staff. We are beyond happy for how things are going and look forward to the future.

Honestly since enrolling my daughter into the Fall River Arts Academy their services have been nothing but amazing. My daughter loves her instructor and everyone that she interacts with at the academy. As soon as you walk in you’re greeted like family. That’s exactly what the academy is a big family. Can’t wait until my youngest two decided when they want to take lessons. I would highly recommend anyone young and older to take lessons at the Fall River Arts Academy.

FALL RIVER ARTS ACADEMYI wanted to thank you for giving your students the opportunity to perform at Carnegie Hall. The confidence you are building in these children, young adults, and old people, like me, is priceless.Also, it has been studied, musicians are very disciplined. Students carry that discipline and attention to detail, into their general study habits.On a personal note, youve given me something to work towards. I am unable to do most of my own old hobbies now. Voice lessons give me something to look forward to each week.Your staff is amazing. You treat your students like family. I love being a part of it.Thanks again,Lynnly Dady

My daughter has been taking piano lessons with Nathan for about 4 months and she’s doing great. She had an interest in learning to play piano so we signed her up and we have built a good relationship with Nathan. She is very shy and quiet but they work well together. Tj’s is a fun and inviting store everyone is nice and helpful we are very pleased with the academy.

The drum instructors at Fall River Arts Academy have all been great!! They are knowledgeable, friendly, know how to keep the students engaged and continually learning. The group make up lessons are also great to help students not only learn in a group environment, but overcome the anxiety of performing in front of others.
