Joyce Crawfords Music Academy is absolutely top notch. I interviewed several private instructors and schools before making the decision to go with her. Personally, I take piano and voice and am amazed at how much weve covered since I started with her three months ago. My main focus going in was that I wanted to have a well-rounded foundation in music theory as well as maintaining a high standard in an engaging way. Music is Joyces passion and craft that she has dedicated her whole life to. Ive never come across anyone who can match her technical expertise as well as the attention and care that she provides to her students. For anyone in the Palm Beach or South Florida area, you will not find a better guide to truly mastering your instrument.
Ms. Joyce is an excellent piano instructor! If you want to learn how to play the piano (the proper way), Ms. Joyce will guide you in the right direction. Great quality at an affordable/reasonable price. I keep coming back because I know my piano skills will advance greatly with her. Join this music academy!
My daughter, Gia, loves her piano class. Ms. Joyce is so caring, patient, and creative! Gia has quickly progressed to reading and playing music in such a short time. If you are looking for an instructor that is learner-focused and fun, then set up lessons today!
This music academy is simply the very best academy! Also, Dr. Joyce Crawford is an outstanding instructor! Today, our daughter is 16 years old. When she was younger, we signed her up for dance classes. Ballet first, then later, Jazz. She very much enjoyed her dance classes! Later, while still taking Jazz classes (Dance), My husband and I, noticed our daughters growing interest in playing not only classical music, but also other styles. Shortly after, she asked us if she could take piano lessons. We were happily surprised and soon signed her up for piano lessons at a school that was not too far from our home. Her instructor at that time, was okay, but we felt that she was giving our daughter cookie - cutter lessons... and even though our daughter was practicing for a long time every single day, she was not progressing as much as her best friend. We knew that our daughters best friend had been taking piano and voice lessons at this Academy, with Dr. Joyce. Crawford, and was progressing amazingly fast in both. We had recently heard her play and sing in a music recital. My husband and I decided to ask our daughters friends parents for Ms. Joyce Crawfords phone number. I called them on the same day, and after learning all lesson options, I reserved the month of piano lessons for our daughter right away. I must share that on the day our daughter had started to take lessons with Dr, Joyce Crawford, my husband and I could tell right away that our daughter was very happy! I had taken my daughter to lessons and had the pleasure to meet with Dr. Joyce Crawford. She is professional, kind, and very knowledgeable! After lessons, my husband and I noticed that our daughter had already learned a lot on the very first lesson and was eager to continue taking lessons! Dr. Joyce Crawford created a lesson plan specifically for our daughter, which we thought was absolutely great! In a couple of weeks, my husband and I were amazed with how fast she was learning with Ms. Joyce Crawford! Our daughter was playing beautifully and continued to progress! Our daughter continued taking lessons with Dr. Joyce Crawford, and today, our daughter played Nocturn by Chopin, at a well known piano competition and... She won! Our daughter got first place! Our daughter has very much dedicated herself, which is wonderful and makes us all extremely proud of her! We also know for sure that Dr. Joyce Crawford made it all possible! Dr. Joyce Crawford is amazing! We love her and thank her for her dedication in teaching our daughter! Our daughter has decided to continue taking lessons with Dr. Joyce Crawford. She has decided to finish/complete her piano course (superior) with Dr. Crawford. Our daughter often says: I have come so very far and play so beautifully! ... I love Dr. Joyce Crawford! We are extremely happy with her instructions! Dr. Joyce Crawford is very knowledgeable, kind, honest, and absolutely has the upmost qualification and experience to make you an amazing instructor! Our daughters friend has also continued to take piano and voice lessons with Dr. Joyce Crawford, and just got into Dreyfoos School of the Arts, after auditioning! Her parents are also so very happy that Ms. J. Crawford has been their daughters instructor! Dr. Joyce Crawford is an outstanding piano and voice instructor! Ms. Crawford comes highly recommended!
Joyce Crawford is a phenomenal teacher who has helped me unlock my voice. Id been singing with lots of effort for years, and after a few lessons with her I began to sing almost effortlessly! She will teach you ways to place your voice that makes singing feel so easy, she gives you the knowledge to think, self-correct, and understand why something is or isnt working. Joyce Crawford is very experienced, dedicated and truly one of the best teachers in any discipline Ive come across with. Highly recommend her!
Joyce is absolutely the best music teacher I have ever had. She is friendly, always a smile on her face and she makes sure you understand and can play the lesson before moving on. I am only two months in on piano and grateful that I am learning correct technique from the beginning.Joyce is a hard working wonderful lady and I feel fortunate to have a spot in her busy schedule of students. If you need to get on a waiting list, I suggest you do it. She is well worth it.
Dr. Joyce Crawford is an outstanding artist and instructor! I wish I had found her 2 years ago. Two years ago was persuaded to sign up for piano group lessons. Today, I can say that was an absolute waste of my money and time. I have noticed that a lot of people think, like I did in the past, that one can and will learn in group lessons, as much as they would learn when taking private lessons. That is simply an illusion. Not even close! After I started taking privatel piano lessons with Dr. Crawford, I learned how much more worth private lessons truly are. Specially with Dr. Crawford. I have now advanced 3 times more in just 9 months of private piano lessons with her, than I did in 2 years of group lessons or private lessons before, somewhere else. I am extremely happy with Dr. Joyce Crawfords lessons and my progress! Have lessons with her. You will not be disappointed! I highly recommend her!
Ms. Joyce Crawford is an amazing piano and voice instructor! We are very impressed with her teaching capabilities, teaching experience, knowledge, kindness, honesty, and professionalism. Three years ago, after contacting other piano and voice instructors, my wife and I decided to enroll our son in piano and voice lessons with Ms. Crawford, because of her expertise and experience. We have always loved the way Ms. Crawford has taught and inspired our son. Since he started taking lessons with Ms. Crawford, he has been very eager to learn, loves to practice, has progressed amazingly, and cant wait until his next lesson with her. Our son has the dream of becoming a professional pianist and singer, and we truly believe that Ms. Crawford will help him reach that goal. After our son had started taking lessons with Ms. Crawford for about 6 months, we were so impressed with how beautifully our son was not only playing the piano, but also singing, that my wife decided to go back to taking lessons, and this time, she only wanted to take lessons with Ms. Joyce Crawford (My wife had stopped taking lessons when she was 9 years old). Both my wife and my son love Ms, Crawfords lessons and have progressed immensely! She is a very kind, patient, knowledgeable, and caring teacher. She knows how to teach children as well as adult students). Ms. Joyce Crawford is the best voice and piano instructor we have ever known! Ms. Crawford is simply the best and comes highly recommended!
Ms. Joyce Crawford is a wonderful teacher! My daughter has been taking piano and voice lessons with Joyce Crawford since age 5. My daughter has always loved her lessons with Ms. Crawford, and has always looked forward to having her next upcoming lessons. My daughter is a little older now, and continues to truly enjoy her lessons with Ms. J. Crawford. Our daughter is playing the piano incredibly well and continues to progress. Her voice has been developing very nicely and she is singing very well. She has already won 3 contests (competitions), just this year! My husband and I, plan to keep MS. Joyce Crawford as our daughters piano and voice teacher until she completes her piano and voice studies. We are very happy that we found Ms. Joyce Crawford, because she is simply the best teacher we have ever worked with. She is patient, kind, committed, and always interested in the students progress. She is also very inspiring, has always answered questions very clearly, and truly cares about her students. We very highly recommend Ms. Joyce Crawford!
Joyce is such a pleasure to work with. She is everything you would want as a piano instructor. She is professional, patient and has a great sense of humor. I have been going once a week for 2 months now and I really enjoy our lessons.
Ms. Joyce is the most amazing piano instructor. Both my children are excelling and enjoying their lessons. She knows how to effectively communicate with children so they learn! I highly recommend her.
Joyce is an exceptional piano teacher and pianist. She teaches music theory during her lessons, so I was able to play the piano and read music quickly with her great teaching style. Her positive attitude kept me motivated to practice playing every day.She is very patient, friendly, and always encourages her students to improve. I really recommend Joyce as a piano teacher!
Wonderful teacher! Doesn’t waste your time, understands my pace and objectives and has been a key component in my learning process! I’m excited to see where I’ll be in a few months. Thanks to Joyce Crawford!
I recently started taking lessons with Ms. Joyce and I could not be happier. She is very dedicated to her job. She makes tailored education plan for each student. Above all she always has a positive attitude and very patient. I would highly recommend her.
Ms Joyce is a patient and devoted teacher who stresses technique as well as theory. She keeps my 10 year old completely focused during the hour-long lesson, while still making it fun and engaging for her. She really is one of those teachers who has the ability to draw out a students full potential. My childs piano playing skills have gone up several notches.
My name is Natasha and my twin sister and I started having lesson with Joyce when we were 11 years old. Unfortunately in 2014 we stopped due to other issues. Even though we stopped having lessons, Joyce continued to text us whether it was to say Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, or simply just a Hello. We are now 15 years old and we have finally returned to having lessons January 2018 and we are so excited to continue our music journey with Joyce. She is extremely passionate with what she does, and will help you in anyway way she possibly can to help you become the best you can be.
By far one of the best instructors in Palm Beach county. Truly knowledgeable in classical music and teaches music in true European style. She makes learning music enjoyable, highly recommend!
Ive been taking lessons with Ms. Crawford for about six months. She is a great teacher ... patient, interested, knowledgeable and passionate that I learn how to play the piano correctly at a pace that makes it an enjoyable learning experience. I had to make a decision between the sax and the piano ... I made a good decision to go with the piano and an even better decision to take lessons from Ms. Crawford.
I have taken several lessons with different teachers and I am in my 50s I come from a musician dad and I can honestly say that she not only has the technical but she applies all her soul and intuition in u. She exactly knows what u r doing and how to help u be the best that u can be. She is always encouraging u to be better and dont give up. She is the best
