Atlanta Piano Fortissimo

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.

My daughters have been receiving piano lessons from Ms. Courtney for more than 2 years now and she is absolutely amazing. They have both grown in skill and confidence and we are so happy with our decision to take in-home lessons from Atlanta Piano Fortissimo. We also added violin this year with Ms. Faith, who is also a great instructor. Inna does an incredible job with all of the logistics of setting up lessons and also manages to host the most wonderful recitals!

We appreciate the convenience of Atlanta Piano Fortissimo and my daughter absolutely loves her instructor, Miranda. She is patient, gracious and has really bonded with my child. She is a graduate student, to boot. With all the activities of an 8 year old, it's great to have an instructor that comes to the home for lessons. 45 minutes is just enough time. My daughter has excelled in the past two years and really loves playing. Dodie Clasen

We are so glad we chose Atlanta Piana Fortissimo for our daughter’s vocal lessons. Ms. Shelby is a knowledgeable and talented instructor. She pays attention to all the details including posture, breathing and vocal techniques. Ms.Inna has been great at guiding us if we have any questions. She organized a VERY memorable winter recital. It was a great experience for all of us. I will highly recommend them.

I cannot say enough great things about the staff and instructors at Atlanta Piano Fortissimo. My daughter, now 12, has been taking lessons for one year, and she's made a tremendous amount of progress during that time thanks to her instructor and the instructional style used. My daughter has also been given many opportunities to perform in formal recitals and at other performances. All of this together has resulted in a highly capable and motivated student who is poised to continue making progress! We love Atlanta Piano Fortissimo and will continue taking lessons for years to come!
