My daughter's teacher matches her abilities and is great at explaining everything. Exciting programs like an incentive for practicing and being able to earn trophies are exciting for my daughter and it makes it fun for her to learn. Thank you!

The team is amazing and help students virtually and in person. They have multiple talent shows throughout the year. My kids enjoy it. Not sure if there is a state wide music certification that they could link to so that it will be an accomplishment for the students in future.

Today was my daughters first day after her previous lesson company closed down due to covid. From day one I can already note a vast difference! I was happy with the previous company, it got the job done but it wasn't the music lesson company of my dreams. I also tried to remind myself that I'm not preparing her to play alongside Andrea bocelli ( in other words convincing myself to lower standards).

This company surpassed my expectations. Well thought out lesson structure, supportive and friendly environment. Director and assistant manager incredibly thorough and professional. Hands down best piano lesson academy.

I would definitely recommend taking music lessons at Tampa Fine Arts Academy. They are an amazing school, and have such amazing, kind, fun teachers! The teachers allow their students to practice any (appropriate) songs they like. You can do lessons in person, or even on Zoom from your bedroom. They are a very fun, cool, environment, and have very talented teachers and students. I couldn't recommend them more!

Tampa Fine Arts has been especially easy to work with given the challenges of the last few months! Now that my son is able to gain hands-on piano training, the whole team has been so kind and welcoming to us. My son has excelled quickly thanks to Eric's flexible and individualized teaching method. Larry and Jenny are always easy to speak with and make us feel as though we've been with Tampa Fine Arts for years! I highly recommend them for aspiring musicians and students of all ages!

Such an amazing and dynamic school! My son had a little previous experience with percussion but wanted to learn piano. He had some familiarity with reading music so we didnt know where to begin. We got matched with a wonderful teacher for our son. Ms. Valerie is able to really personalize the lessons according to his ability (even providing him with her own books/music!) to keep his interest up and keep him on track - his OWN track. His progress has been impressive. All the teachers here are so kind, encouraging, talented and flexible. We cant say enough great things about Mr Bigel and this school. Highly recommend!

This school makes music lessons fun for the kids by teaching them music they are actually interested in. Everyone is so nice here. When my daughter injured herself and I wasn't happy with the options for make-up classes, the owner personally reached out to make sure we could work something out. We are looking forward to coming back!

We have two kids here and could not be happier with their drum and violin teachers. They are friendly, supportive, but will challenge your musicians (very important to us). They both love music and have connected with their teachers very well. Staff is super fun, helpful and very professional! Thank you!

Were so grateful we found you guys. Our son, Stefan, LOVES playing drums, and really likes Mr. Evan! He challenges him, pushes him and calls him out! Were especially grateful that our kids get to do their lessons virtually, and that they have something to look forward to every week! I would recommend this music academy with all of my heart. Its one of the best decisions we made for our kiddos!

My daughter has been taking guitar lessons at TFA for the past year, and she has grown so much as a student and musician. My son also took drums lessons for 4 years. Their respective instructors, John and Evan, have been a great fit for them. Their easy-going demeanor and work ethic have helped my kids grow their love for music. Good place for kids to learn and love music.

I appreciate quality when I see it. My two daughters absolutely love their teachers. Thank you for an amazing experience, Tampa Fine Arts Academy! I don't even mind traveling the long distance, as there is nothing like this school in our neck of the woods! Hats off to the owner of this school for his great efforts and assembling a great team of people. Keep up the great work!

I started taking lessons as an adult and did not know what to expect. The teacher they assigned me is perfect. Learning music has been a great adventure and helps keep my mind sharp. Every time I think I've surely learned all there is about something, my teacher opens another door to go through. Music has enriched my life in ways I never imagined.

Awesome Place Tampa Fine Arts Academy is a high quality place for musical instruction. Every instructor and employee show great attention and compassion to everyone the minute they walk through the door. Larry Bigel, the owner, is a fantastic guy who will always treat you like a great friend. The atmosphere is great for individuals of all ages. My personal experience has been nothing short of amazing.

My bass guitar instructor is a very knowledgeable musician who encourages me to ask questions. Try finding that at another instructional studio. Believe me, it's rare! Awesome. That's the perfect word to sum up Tampa Fine Arts Academy. Thanks guys!

Both of my children take music lessons at Tampa Fine Arts Academy. They do both violin and voice lessons. They have been a great fit for us from the very beginning. Not only have my children learned a lot, but Larry Bigel is very willing to work with us on scheduling issues. I highly recommend Tampa Fine Arts Academy.

My teacher is a patient man that is willing to teach anyone who wants to learn. He teaches you new techniques and shows you music theory. Helping you improve. He also is a kind man and is very patient. He takes time out of his way to organize concerts for his students. He truly is a great teacher.

My son takes violin lessons here and loves it. Great, friendly staff and he really loves his instructor, David. My son is only five so a lot of patience is needed with him and he receives it. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for lessons.
