“Awesome Place – Tampa Fine Arts Academy is a high quality place for musical instruction. Every instructor and employee show great attention and compassion to everyone the minute they walk through the door. Larry Bigel, the owner, is a fantastic guy who will always treat you like a great friend. The atmosphere is great for individuals of all ages. My personal experience has been nothing short of amazing. My bass guitar instructor is a very knowledgeable musician who encourages me to ask questions. Try finding that at another instructional studio. Believe me, it’s rare! Awesome. That’s the perfect word to sum up Tampa Fine Arts Academy. Thanks guys!”

“I’ve been taking lessons for a few weeks now. My situation is a bit different then others: I work ridiculous hours every week for a corporation that generates an insane amount of stress. I wake up on weekdays dreading that I have to login and deal with all of it and go to bed realizing how much time my job consumes of my life (Depressing, I know but it pays very well, which is a plus). Fortunately, I come across one of my favorite days every week: Tuesday’s. Tuesdays at 7:30, I get to meet with Ryan who is the most positive and energetic individual. When I come to take lessons, I get to put my work and phone away and disconnect from the real world. It doesn’t matter how good or bad I play at lessons, there is something so soothing about strumming a guitar with someone who is incredibly encouraging. For that half hour, everything is right in the world. A moment of bliss. For the sake of my sanity, I don’t think I’ll ever stop coming here. Everyone needs something to look forward to. This glimmer of happiness in the week keeps me going.”
