Post Falls music academy is a great place for students to take lessons. The teachers are kind, have patience and the studio is always neat and tidy. My daughters have been students here for over 2 years and I can't wait for my youngest to start her lessons. Thank you PFMA!

PFMA has been a wonderful experience for our 10 year old son who recently decided he wanted to start learning how to plea the dumbs. Kayla has been very helpful and he has enjoyed his lessons with Mr. Eric and Mr. Carmine.

I absolutely love Post Falls Music Academy. I have never had an issue with communication. Any time I sign my son up for a make up lesson I always get a reminder call. I feel very comfortable with the instructor and my sons playing skills have exceeded my expectations. I love that he loves going to lessons and he really enjoys bringing home certificates and trophies. My son is super excited about his upcoming concert and I couldn't be more thrilled to be able to watch him play. I highly recommend sending your child here, they are more than patient with children. You will not be disappointed.

What a wonderful music school. our daughter is almost 6 and has been taking music lessons here for almost 2yrs. The teachers have been so amazing and patient with her. Even at such a young age we have seen such a growth in her learning. We love all the extra concerts and performance opportunities as well as the Musical Ladder testing that they do. Such an encouraging atmosphere for students to learn in!

Emma has gain so much confidence since she been taking music from you.Thank you for going all the way with encouraging, teaching, helping her to understand music, play the songs that she likes and for all the time you spent finding places for her to use the talents God has give to her. Also for encouraging her when she wants to give up playing her violin. Thank you!

This is our children's 2nd year at Post Falls Music Academy. The teachers are all professional, patient, and make learning music fun! They offer a wide variety of instrument lessons & vocal as well and have encouraged the kids to work hard by providing incentives along the way. Dawn goes above & beyond to make sure things run smoothly and the students stay challenged.

We cannot say enough good things about Dawn at Joyful Noise Music. She has been such a great teacher for my kids the last three years. She is so encouraging, sweet, and very knowledgeable about music and instruments. Our kids have made wonderful progress during their lessons with her.

Our son really loves his guitar lessons at Post Falls Music Academy and we enjoy seeing the progress he's made since starting. If your kids love music and would like to learn an instrument by actually 'playing' their favorite songs then this is the place for you!!
