“Earth Song Creative Arts is THE school to send yourself or your child if you believe in student led and invested learning initiatives and expression.

Earth Song is so welcoming to artists of all kinds regardless of their skill, age, or interests. There is also such depth to be found her from the novice musician to those looking to perform and produce music.

I found such a haven of peace and expression in my lessons with Jess on Piano. As an audience member for their open mics, I believe Earth Song is an absolute mega catalyst for the most enjoyable, community driven, expressive, and inclusive community events in our area.

It can be extremely isolating living in rural PA, and Jess and the whole team at Earth Song truly create the best feeling of community in such an incredible environment. It is so clear that Jess and Andrew are fulfilling their life calling and we are all the beneficiaries of their dedication and the light they bring to music education and community. Rock on!”

“I highly recommend Earth Song Creative Arts!! My daughter has been taking piano lessons there for about 6 years. Last year we added drum lessons and the Summer Band program. The owners, Jess and Andrew, are amazing; not just with their musical knowledge and teaching styles, but also because they just “get” kids. They are personable, patient, and understanding and are careful to hire instructors with the same qualities and values that they possess. My daughter has not only gained musical skills, but also self-confidence and a sense of community. Earth Song is truly the best!!”

“Earth Song offers something for music lovers of all ages. Jess and Andrew have created an amazing music school that focuses on the interests, levels, and goals of the students whether theirs or one of their many talented teacher’s. My experience with Jess (piano) has been wonderful. She is encouraging, patient, and delivers instruction in a comprehensible way.

Weekly lessons are not the only experience offered at Earth Song. Many local events are planned and executed to give students an opportunity to perform for friends, family, and the community. It’s all about a sense of community in the Earth Song “family.”

The heart of Earth Song is its energy and the joy it brings to those who are fortunate enough to have found this gem. I am one of the lucky ones.”

“Jess is the best!! All of the Earth Song Creative teachers are super talented and you will have the best time learning and rocking out with them!! ❤️”

“Earth Song has been a game changer for our daughter. Not only has her musical ability soared under the guidance of the Earth Song teachers and community, but so has her self confidence. Her eclectic taste in music is not only supported, but encouraged and the stage is becoming a second home.”

“If you are looking for any type of music instruction, we cannot recommend Earth Song Music Lessons highly enough! My kids have been with Jess Smith and Andrew Smith from the beginning and have covered everything from guitar, bass, piano, vocals, and bands to audition prep and recording/production tech. We are thrilled to hear about their amazing new teachers. Don’t wait...there’s a reason their lesson schedules are full!! ”

“Our family has been a part of the Earth Song family for many years. Our three children take vocal, piano, drum, and guitar lessons from Jess and Andrew Smith, as well as songwriting lessons with Jake Morelli. Whether they are working on singing a new song or learning a new technique, the instructors are always patient, encouraging, and uplifting. They empower my children to find their voice and their strengths, while making the lessons fun and engaging. The instructors are great about letting the students explore their musical interests and curiosities, while teaching skills and providing guidance. Music is a huge part of our family’s life and making music with Earth Song has been the foundation.”

“I have worked with Mr. Smith and Earth Song for about 6 years and I have loved every single lesson! I began lessons with knowing nothing about guitar and through lessons I have learned a variety of styles, songs, and even musical theory. Through lessons I learned my love for guitar and singing and have been able to refine my skills with Mr. Smith’s amazing teaching. Not only are Andrew and Jess some of the nicest people I have ever met, but they are also so skilled at all the instruments they play and are great at teaching it to their students. I would recommend Earth Song Creative Arts to anyone trying to learn a new instrument or even pick up an instrument from a long time ago.”

“Paul is such a wonderful guitar teacher! My two young children look forward to their lessons with him each week. Paul makes each lesson informative, interesting and fun. My children enjoy writing their own songs. Paul inspires them to be creative and also gently challenges them to do their very best work. We could not be more pleased with him as a teacher!”

“Our son has been taking guitar with Mr. Smith for several years and now also voice. Not only is he professional, knowledgeable and extremely talented, he is encouraging, fun and highly motivated to teach his students to be the best musicians they are capable of. We are extremely pleased with our son’s progress and excited to see him continue develop as a musician with Earth Song.”

“The only option for music lessons for my family! Personal, professional, patient, amazing! We LOVE Jess & Andrew!!”

“From the first lesson on, Andrew has been the most positive, encouraging and energetic teacher. Not only a gifted musician yet a very talented professional teacher. He consistently makes every lesson enjoyable yet at the same time encouraging our son to push himself into new challenges musically. We were so impressed with the live playing opportunities that earth song organized. To see our son on stage, feeling so comfortable playing music is a cherished memory. Thank you!”

“My kids LOVE Andrew and Jess! They are great with kids of all ages. My daughter takes piano and vocal lessons from Jess and she looks forward to working with her each week. Jess is kind, patient and knowledgeable and has really helped my daughter’s love of music grow. My boys love working with Andrew on drums and guitar. He is patient, fun and engaging. He fosters their interest in music as individuals, utilizing their favorite songs as teaching tools. They really love working with a professional musician and seeing more of the entire process with music as a career.”

“Not only are Jess and Andrew passionate about helping each student develop his or her own musical potential, but they also serve as wonderfully positive adult role models for their students. Jess and Andrew help shape character, not just musical presentations!”

“Andrew & Jess are incredible musicians and teachers! Their warm and loving energy is infectious! They go above and beyond with all of their students. Highly recommend.”

“We love Jess so much! She is an amazing teacher and musician. Our 9 year old has been taking piano and voice with Jess for a year. She started out unsure and reluctant about singing in front of a group of people, but Jess has worked wonders for her confidence! She is happy practice piano and looks forward to her lessons every week. Jess really takes the time to get to know her students, on a personal level, and that is priceless! Our son hopes to start guitar lessons with Andrew in the fall :)”

“Andrew teaches with passion, excitement and joy. He is one of “the ones” that will forever be an influence and inspiration for my son.”

“Absolutely the most talented and inspiring teacher I could ever have asked to spend time teaching my children music. Mrs. Jessica Smith is patient, kind and an amazing teacher and person.”

“My ten year old daughter has been taking voice and piano lessons with Jess since first grade. She is excited for her lessons each week and enjoys their time making music together. Jess has such a calming presence, as well as a beautiful singing voice and a true talent on the piano. She inspires my daughter to work to her fullest potential, and is always kind and encouraging. We have seen our daughter’s musical talent grow exponentially over the years, many thanks to Jess!”

“I’m an adult absolute beginner who has tried and failed to teach myself a number of times. Jess Smith has a great ability to mix theory with practice with fun, adapting the lesson to what the student wants to learn, always guiding and encouraging and offering alternatives that help to move the student along. I went from never having played a note on the piano to being willing and able to play in a recital and at open mic nights over the course of about nine months.”

“Fun, engaging and a great music teacher. Syd takes guitar lessons from him currently and I would be happy to recommend Andrew.”

“My kids (ages 11 and 13) have been taking private piano lessons with Jessica Smith for the last 5 years. She is a gifted musician and instructor and thanks to her wonderful teaching style, my kids have developed a passion for playing the piano. Highly recommend!”
