We’ve also invested in soundproofing and observation windows to ensure both effective instruction and peace of mind for parents. Every detail of our Johnson City facility is built to support a positive and productive lesson experience.

Our recitals are held in professional, high-quality venues that give students the opportunity to experience performing in a real, inspiring setting.

My son is loving his guitar lessons at Freedom Music Academy. He is a beginner and Sienna has been so patient and kind to him as he learns and develops. We highly recommend!

Kelsi C.
Voice Student
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!

Becky W.
Guitar Parent
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.

H.R.
Drum Parent
Jason is a great drum instructor! Well worth our one way, 1 hour drive for drum lessons for our 10 year old! Highly recommend!

Rachel L.
Guitar Parent
We have been very pleased with our experience. My daughter plays the electric guitar and Angel is an excellent instructor. She really enjoys her lessons!

Mark R.
Piano Student
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!
