Jordan did a fantastic job of trying to work with our son, even though he probably was not really old enough for drum lessons just yet. Would return to Jordan as instructor if kids want to try again.

My daughter has been taking piano lessons from Chelsea and she has been great! She learns a lot and is excited to come back every week. Chelsea has proven to be an amazing teacher and all around person, I appreciate everything she does. This is a fantastic school and I recommend to anyone who is looking to learn a new instrument.

My 6 year Olds first guitar lesson was today. The receptionist is super nice and very welcoming. Her instructor (I forgot his name already) was super friendly as well. I feel confident with our choice to send her here and forsee a successful future for her and her guitar.

Miss Dianne is so patient and accommodating. My daughter looks forward to her weekly voice lesson because of Miss Dianne. We have noticed improvement in our daughters singing within 2 months. Virgil, the owner, took the time to explain the various lessons and schedule, and he not only listened to my concerns but knew exactly who would work best with my daughter.

There are great teachers and kind staff in forte music. Mr. Bogdan who teaches violin for my son is the best teacher you can meet in Toledo. He communicates well with my son and me and explains to me how my son is doing after the lesson.

I am a parent and my daughter has been taking violin lesson from Mr. Bogdan for about 5 years (minus a few months of gap). My daughter and I are pleased with Forte and Mr. Bogdans teaching.It appears that all of the instructors covering various instruments here at the Forte seems to a genuine interest in student learning and practicing as I see instructors having a quick chat with the parent / guardian post teaching session as to how the class went and practice assignment prior to the next session.If you are interested in your child to learn music in a professional environment by a professional instructor then this would be a good place.

Ella has only been there for 2 voice lessons. Both teachers, Alberta and Chelsea, were fantastic. So much so that it was very difficult to choose but we went with a lesson day/time that worked best for her current schedule and commitments. Based on our experience so far, we would definitely recommend Forte Music School.

Great place to learn music, courteous staff. Just one observation: Lately my sons music sessions seem to begin a few minutes late and end a few minutes early. With just a half hour session, this makes it only 20 minutes of learning time. Would very much appreciate my sons class sessions starting and ending on time.

Very Nice Staff. They offer many different types of instruction. Ive seen violinist, guitar, electric guitar, piano, voice and more. Kevin is a wonderful and patient instructor. My son looks forward to seeing him every week. We’ve been taking lessons here for four years and have never had a bad experience. Kevin has a great rapport with my son. They have also updated the parking lot, creating more spaces and painting it a cute music theme. We have been very happy.

My daughter has loved each lesson! The front desk staff has been remarkably friendly with setting up lessons and greeting us each week. They recommended a teacher for our situation, Meredith, and she is a perfect fit! We love how she relates to our daughter and it feels like each week she is progressing even this early into lessons.

My daughter is 9 and has been taking violin lessons at Forte since she was 4. She loves it! I love that she enjoys playing and her lessons. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. My son is 11 and has been taking piano lessons since he was 5. I have switched him over to forte recently and he cant stop talking about how much fun he had in his lesson. He is looking forward to his next lesson. The owner, Virgil, is extremely friendly and is doing a great job with Forte. We are extremely pleased with Forte!

I was really impressed with Forte when we took our 4-year-old there for guitar lessons. Everything was highly organized, the teacher Ron was great, and the facilities were nice. What I especially appreciated, though, was their honesty. They suggested that our son was a bit too young and didnt have the attention span for lessons just yet and I thought it was very kind of them to be upfront about it instead of just taking our money and moving him along. Great place and we will try again once hes a little older!

Music is in the air and we love it here! My little boy fell in love with drumming, and his passion is growing week by week! Thanks to his drum instructor Sam, who is an amazing instructor. He focuses on educational needs of his individual students and encourages them to achieve their goals with undivided attention and lots of patient. I am glad we chose Forte Music School.

Review №57

After reading all the positive reviews, I was anxious to get my daughter started there learning to play the mellophone. However, the only day that would work for us would be Wednesdays, and 4 or clock was the latest opening and that would be too early for us. The lady I spoke with didnt even appear to want to try to to make it work for us, so well probably just have to go somewhere else. Very disappointing!

I have two students at Forte Music School, playing piano for 8 months now. They love their teachers and look forward to seeing them each week. The staff is friendly and knowledgable and full of musical diversity. I like how students can stay at the school, even if they decide to change instruments as they grow and develop. The location is convenient and as the school grows, new opportunities emerge.

My sons have been in piano lessons at Forte since 2008 and I cant say enough good things about them. They have teachers for several different instruments, including voice coaches and even a banjo instructor. They are very reasonably priced, everyone is friendly and professional, and Ive never had a bad experience with Forte.
