I have been a student at ROOTS Academy now for 3 years. I started taking voice lessons when I was a senior in high school, and have continued my lessons as well as adding piano lessons now that I am in college. The staff/mentors are always so friendly and willing to help whenever I email or call! I travel 2 hours just to get to ROOTS and they are always willing to work with my schedule and my distance! They have given me opportunities to perform not only at their recitals, but at The Frothy Monkey in downtown Franklin. They did EVERYTHING! I didnt have to stress about set up, mic checks, and literally all I had to do was perform. I tell all my friends about this place, and I will continue to take lessons there as long as I am able, and maybe even add another instrument to my lesson list :)

Ive had two of my kids at Roots for the past two years- I cant say enough good things about the lessons and the staff. My children arent rock stars or virtuosos by any means. However, theyve been paired with great mentors who evaluate where they are, where they want to go, and how to get them there. The staff at Roots have nurtured their love of music and passion to learn. The quality of instruction is second to none. Roots mentors truly invest in the kids- their interest and investment goes beyond the music lessons. My favorite side benefit of the lessons has been the huge boost in confidence from performing at the recitals.

I have a 7 and 9 year old, and we decided to try the Intro to Music program this year and my kids have absolutely LOVED it! It was such a great way to let them try out the different instruments and decide (for themselves) what they wanted to pursue. After 4 weeks of 4 different instruments, both kids know what they want to pursue, drums and voice. It has been a great experience for us. We have really enjoyed ROOTS, and the instructors are top notch, and they really know kids. Plus, the staff has been so helpful in accommodating our schedules and sending us friendly reminders. I would recommend it to anyone!

Our daughter has been taking guitar from Elle, for almost 2 years now. I love that she has not only learned solid skills in playing, but the encouragement & confidence is amazing. I love that their environment is not a cookie cutter mold. Each mentor works with each student with their skills, talents, & pushes them to go outside the box. The staff is amazing, and they are such an encouragement to each other. I love the positive feeling, and knowing the owners keep true to their character, and faith in giving back to each family as well as the community is just a bonus.

Our daughters musical development is important to us. Just as she is learning core subjects at school, her musical education is a building block to who she is becoming. ROOTS is a great foundation for learning music and experiencing great role models and mentorship. While she is learning the skills of playing the piano and singing, worshiping God and encouragement is being modeled by the mentors at ROOTS. Because character development goes hand in hand with musical development, we cant see our child taking lessons anywhere else!

I LOVE Roots! I havent even been dancing here for that long, but so far I have had one of the best experiences of my life. The teachers are caring and loving. All of the students are like a family to me. I love how I can dance in a safe Christian place without being judged constantly. It has definitely grown since when I took piano lessons there when I was 8! Im so happy I picked Roots over all of the other dance studios in Franklin. I would never throw away an awesome experience like this!!

Both of my children have taken lessons at Roots, as well as myself! The atmosphere is very welcoming, artsy and chill and the staff are all so friendly and genuinely care about you and your children. Both of my children and I loved our teachers and I am impressed at how knowledgeable and talented they really are. They have great teaching methods and really encourage the kids in their giftings. I would highly recommend Roots. Your kids will love it!

My daughter has participated in dance (class + camp) in the past and is now going on a year of violin lessons at Roots. We have loved our experience there. The atmosphere is so fun and inspirational. The teachers and staff are positive, encouraging and helpful. I have been amazed at how far my 6 year old has come after only a year of learning to play the violin. I highly recommend Roots for anyone looking to help their kids cultivate creativity.

My 12 yr old has been taking piano lessons at ROOTS for a few years now and she absolutely loves it! Her teacher is so nurturing and has been great at building self-confidence in our daughter at the keyboard. I love the mix of classical training with practical, everyday chord reading. At this age, I think the most important thing is for your child to truly love playing their instrument. That has happened for us at ROOTS! I highly recommend it.

We absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Roots! We love that our daughter is doing what she loves in a Christian environment. The teachers are amazing and incredibly encouraging. Weve been to different studios and hands down this one is the most organized, responsive and has the most wonderful instructors/mentors. The only negative - it can get pretty crowded in the parking lot and lobby. We truly love it here!!

We love ROOTS Academy!! This is not your normal music school - it is full of hip, accomplished musicians who love making music and love teaching the next generation. I love knowing that my daughter is getting a strong musical education from someone she looks up to, who is a mentor as much as a music teacher. As a classically trained musician and a mom, I recommend ROOTS to everyone I know!

We could not be more thankful for ROOTS. They have created and environment that is authentic and that has allowed our kids to really enjoy learning their instrument. Living in Music City you cant help but appreciate when something creative is done right! Roots has done it right. We have been at ROOTS since day 1 and we love it.

I recently had a very bad experience when asking another company how much they charge for piano lessons. in fact, we were turned away. I called and ROOTS, were so professional and didnt mind going over this with me! They answered all of my other questions and concerns for my son!! This sounds like a wonderful place!

My daughter has taken both guitar and piano at ROOTS for 2 years. It is the best! The mentors not only care about how she plays her instrument, but speak encouragement and wisdom into her life as well. She has come so far as a musician and loves that she can listen to a song on the radio and play it!

We absolutely love Roots Academy!! We have been commuting to their Franklin location for 2 1/2 years and have been very pleased with the progress our son has made there. All of the staff and mentors are exceptional and we cant thank them enough for the time and effort they pour into him!
