At Freedom Music Academy, our lesson rooms are stocked with amps, full drum kits, keyboards, and more—just bring your instrument. We’ve also invested in soundproofing and observation windows for a top-tier learning environment.
What truly sets us apart? Technology. Every room includes an LED monitor with cables for phones, tablets, and laptops, so students can use apps and music software like GarageBand and ProTools during lessons.

Parents want to know their child is truly progressing, and there’s no better way to see that growth than through a live performance. That’s why we host biannual student showcases in some of the area’s most prestigious spaces.
From red carpet entrances to step-and-repeat photo banners, we make each recital a memorable and exciting experience for students and families alike.

Parents love this special event because it gives them beautiful, high-quality photos of their children doing what they love. Adults are welcome to join, too!
Students can bring their instruments and dress however they like, making each photo shoot a fun and personal experience.

I take vocal lessons here with Ms. Olga and I absolutely love her! I’ve noticed growth and improvement in myself, and I love the way she teaches. She’s very clear, kind and patient. Can’t recommend another music school or vocal teacher enough—an absolute gem!

My 12yo daughter has recently started guitar lessons with Angel. We can’t recommend him enough. He is an excellent, patient, and knowledgeable instructor. Exceeded my expectations especially for a young beginner.

I’ve been very pleased with Freedom Music Academy. It is a stress free environment that allows you to learn without feeling overwhelmed. Each week I get new goals that help me improve and grow based on my skill level. I’m very pleased with my instruction.
Kelly J.
Multi-Instrument Parent
My 4 sons are taking group lessons and individual lessons with Freedom Music Academy. We love that they understand how to bring out the musicianship in kids and pull out of their strengths to take them further.
In the past, we struggled finding music teachers that were good with students that can play really good by ear. This was the type of music instruction that we were looking for.
Todd H.
Drum Parent
The level of instruction and mentorship from Jason with our son has been the absolute best! He is very thorough and the level of teaching is excellence! Huge changes are taking place every week and our son’s confidence is growing.
Tasha S.
Voice/Guitar Parent
Our daughter was diagnosed with Inattentive ADHD about a year ago, which makes it hard for her to focus. In her very first class, she struggled to stay engaged and actually sing without getting distracted. But her teacher, Leticia, is absolutely amazing. The very next week, she showed up with a balance board and has used it in every class since. It keeps part of Stella’s brain busy so the rest can focus — and the difference has been incredible. She’s like a completely different student now!
Clayton H.
Drum Student
At 31 years old, I never thought I’d pick up drumming or love it so much. Thanks to Jason it has become a reality for me! It’s been a great first month of lessons and I couldn’t be happier with the progress I have made. If you (at any age) want to learn drums- call him now!
Dimitre S.
Drum Parent
Our son has been taking drum lessons with Jason for the past two months and his improvement is tremendous! We couldn’t be more excited! Jason takes the time to make it understandable, exciting, and fun for him while also really teaching his musical ear and pushing him to learn. We’re so glad we found Freedom Music Academy!
