Urgent email notice:
We are in the process of migrating our admin@familypianoacademy.com email to another service. If you receive an error that this address does not exist, please email tamara.fpa@gmail.com instead. We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion!

We're moving!

Our Durant Road location will be relocating to:

10940 Raven Ridge Rd.
Suite 210

This does not affect our Glenwood Location.
Beginning on January 2nd, 2021 all lessons at the main studio location will move just a few hundred yards away to Falls River Town Center (the shopping center with the Food Lion right next to our current location). This new location will better suit our needs as most of our student base remains virtual.

With it being just across the street from the current location, it should be an easy switch for all of us. After lessons end on December 19th and we close for winter break, we will begin the transition to the new space. Once we settle in we will share pictures and a welcome video to help you find the location!

A few important things to note:
  • The address for the location is 10940 Raven Ridge Road, Suite 210. There is a small traffic circle across from Ace Hardware and next to Tumble Gym. Our suite is in the two-story building that the circle is in front of. This will be the same building as Tanas Hair Designs and Day Spa, Renu Health and Fitness, Nelson Orthodonics, Youthologie, and Karate Kids.
  • After parking, enter the archway next to the traffic circle and you'll find a glass door leading to an elevator. Take the elevator to the second floor. Our suite is the last suite down the hall to the left, past the orthodontist office. Please have your teacher's cell number in case you need help finding us the first time.
  • PARENTS OF YOUNG STUDENTS SHOULD ACCOMPANY THEIR CHILD THE FIRST TIME AT THE NEW LOCATION. After your first visit, you are welcome to sit in on your child's lesson or send your child up unaccompanied if both you and your child are comfortable.
  • MAILING OF TUITION CHECKS - After December 20th, please DO NOT mail checks to 10320 Durant Road, Suite 101. Please start sending checks to the following address: 
Family Piano Academy
c/o Diamond Piano Method
PO Box 99074
Raleigh, NC 27624
(Yes, it is 27624 - do not correct to 27614!)
