Our Origins
Atlanta Piano Fortissimo was established by piano teacher Inna Yalovska. Inna was educated in Ukraine and taught there for several years before moving to the United States.
In 2012, Inna started teaching in Atlanta by travelling to students’ homes. As her own schedule began to fill up quickly, she wanted to provide other talented music teachers with the opportunity to reach more students. Inna carefully selected teachers that shared the same core values about teaching and brought them on staff at Atlanta Piano Fortissimo, growing the school to several hundreds of students and 30+ instructors.
In 2020, to accommodate the growing demand for quality music instructions in the Northern Metro Atlanta area, Piano Fortissimo Music and Arts Studio opened its doors as a branch of Atlanta Piano Fortissimo in-home music service. Having an actual location allowed the school to offer not only private one-on-one lessons, but also introduce group music and art lessons, chess, camps/party packages, the Kindermusik program, and much more.
We love being able to offer the convenience of in-home music lessons, as well as being able to help those who prefer in-studio lessons. Whichever lesson model fits your needs and schedule, we’ll be happy to discuss it! We accept new student year-round; contact us to learn more.
Studio Location: 4415 Nine Front Dr, #300, Cumming, 30041 (off Windermere Pkwy)
We are close to: Suwanee, Duluth, Sugar Hills, Buford, Johns Creek and Alpharetta.
