We're located on the second floor of 806 West Market Street, in Akron's Highland Square, right across from the library. We offer lessons on many instruments, some of which you'll see below. The staff at Firefly provide a friendly and relaxed environment for beginners and students wanting to build on their existing skills. We hold weekly one-on-one lessons, where kids, teens, and adults learn to play, read music, and sometimes even write some of their own. Lessons are booked on a monthly basis, so students can begin, stop, and resume the program easily.

If you're looking to start your child (or yourself) off with music, there is no better place to start than piano lessons! All of our piano teachers can teach all ages and personalize every lesson plan to make the lessons fun and focused on the learning style and goals of every student. Whether you're a fresh beginner or have a few years of playing under your belt, our piano teachers can help!
Over the last 10 years, my sons have all taken lessons at Firefly. All 3 of them have learned so much and enjoyed their lessons. The teachers and staff are absolutely excellent with children and take the time to know each child's unique personality and his own music interests and goals. I feel all three of my sons benefited from the low pressure style and positivity. The recitals are casual but thoughtful and truly demonstrate how much your child has grown musically. We are loyal to Firefly with good reason.

I have two children attending firefly for piano and clarinet lessons. They have many different music teachers for all kinds of instruments. Emily is awesome at greeting us when we come in and working with our schedule and piano Dan is great with my little guy. This a nice gem in the middle of Highland Square.

Our son has been taking Piano Lessons At Firefly for the past six years! He went from a young boy, curious about playing but couldn't read music, to a confident, talented teenager that can play and read most sheet music! He has an amazing teacher and has loved Firefly since day one. It is a very relaxed and non-intimidating atmosphere with a very friendly, patient staff.
We are beyond pleased with our son's accomplishments and owe it all to Firefly! We have referred friends who now take their kids and we will continue to highly recommend Firefly to anyone that may be interested in taking music lessons.

My kids have enjoyed their time at Firefly, and the teachers are very good at reaching them. Especially Nathan (guitar) has brought my daughter along very well from just starting to developing a love of music. Everyone at the school has been friendly and they give the kids the attention they need to build on their skills from week to week. Further, the recitals they hold from season to season have been effective at teaching my son that playing in front of others isn't just doable, but can be a pleasant experience. If you're interested in giving your kids a foundation in music, check out the schedule and availability at Firefly Music School. Your kids (and you!) will be thankful.

To say that I am extremely pleased with Firefly is an understatement. The tuition is fairly priced and competitive. I adore the front desk staff and the teachers are Amazing!. His teacher Matt has taken my appreciation to another level. When my son started with firefly he was in his second year of band and could barely read music. 2 years later he reads music, is always learning new techniques and loves to play.
I especially like the fact that although he is learning the pieces he needs for school, Matt always challenges him with additional music. Best part? If my son decides he wants to learn something to impress friends and family his instructor makes sure to make time for it. My boy thinks Matt is pretty cool too! Love this school and it's so worth it to build your kids confidence.
