We are conveniently located in the heart of Fresno's historic cultural center, the Tower District (located 1.5 blocks north of Roger Rocka’s Music Theater), and north Fresno on the corner of Cedar and Nees in the Parkwood Shopping Center.

Music students from Fresno, Clovis, Sanger, Reedley, Madera, and other surrounding communities studio at our academies every week.

A little extra driving time is well worth the quality of music instruction they receive from our highly qualified teachers. We even have students driving in from Visalia and Mariposa to take lessons with us! Consider the benefits of becoming a student and find out why we are your best choice for music lessons!

At Fresno Music Academy and Arts, we understand that music lessons are a significant part of people’s lives. We are not a piano store or dance studio with music lessons or an instrument retailer that has lessons in tiny little rooms with little or no accountability from the instructors. At Fresno Music Academy, providing you with a great music learning experience is our #1 priority.

Fresno Music Academy was established in 2016, formerly known since 1998 as The Voice Shop Music Academy. We teach hundreds of lessons each week to students like you!


Your lessons can begin whenever you are ready. Fresno Music Academy operates year-round with new students starting weekly.

You and your family can take guitar, piano, voice, drums, bass, violin, banjo, mandolin, ukulele, accordion, ensemble programs, and more! Fresno Music Academy has many instructors, giving you more options for scheduling and musical styles. For your convenience, we are open 6 days per week.

Fresno Academy of Music & Arts is the winner of: the 2017 and 2018, 2019.2020 & most recently 2022 Readers Choice Award from California Parent Magazine for the Best Place For Music Lessons in the Fresno county area.

One on one private music lessons are a time honored tradition, and they offer many advantages for you. They provide great flexibility, are easy to schedule, and are available in a wide variety of instruments. They can also provide for an individualized course of study to allow you to advance at your own pace.

8. Multiple family members can take lessons in ONE location. Our busy families with multiple kids and hectic schedules enjoy the convenience of having their children taking different lessons at the same time in one location.

9. Musical Ladder System - Trophies, Certificates, & Award Wristbands to Celebrate Achievement

We are the only music school in Fresno that gives their students the opportunity to earn special color wristband bracelets (kids and teens love them!), trophies, AND certificates for passing musical tests. Do other schools offer trophies and certificates? A few. But none of them inspire their students with smiling faces by giving them full color, really cool “Musical Ladder System” wristbands that they can show off to their friends. The Musical Ladder is our unique method of music education that is not available anywhere else in Fresno, CA. More importantly, when our students have a test coming up, they practice more, their parents are proud, their teachers are proud, and everybody wins. You can only get the Musical Ladder here.

4worldlovers: We train our young musicians for the benefit of each student, their families, and of course for all humanity!

Students current and past have developed a love of music that has given them much joy in their lives.
