Forté Music School Expands to Perrysburg, Bringing the Gift of Music to More Families
By Virgil Lupu, Director of Forté Music School - December 2025
On September 24, 2025, Forté Music School proudly opened the doors of its brand-new location in Perrysburg with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house. Families, educators, and community members gathered at 210 E. South Boundary St. to celebrate an exciting new chapter for Northwest Ohio's largest private music school.
The event welcomed guests to tour the new facility, meet dedicated instructors, and experience firsthand the vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere that Forté Music School is known for. Live music echoed through the halls as children explored instruments and parents learned about lesson options in piano, voice, guitar, drums, strings, brass, winds, and more.
A MISSION TO INSPIRE THROUGH MUSIC
Forté Music School has served the greater Toledo area since 2006 and now brings its passionate approach to music education to Perrysburg. More than just a school, Forté is a community where students of all ages discover creativity, build confidence, and develop lifelong skills through the power of music.
"Opening a new location isn't just about growth - it's about reaching more fal=milies who believe in the transformative power of music," said Virgil Lupu, Director of Forté Music School. "Music helps children focus better in school, build self-esteem, and express themselves in healthy meaningful ways, It strengthens memory, improves attention span and encourages patience and perseverance. Music also supports emotional growth, enhances social skills, and promotes creativity - benefits that carry into every area of a child's life. Studies have shown that music education can improve language development, early math skills, and even motor coordination. But beyond the research, music gives children the sense of joy, confidence, and connection. These lifelong benefits go far beyond the classroom, nurturing both the mind and heart of every student."
WHY MUSIC LESSONS MATTER
In today's fast-paced, screen-heavy world, music offers something increasingly rare: a space for children to slow down, connect, and express themselves. It invites imagination, encourages emotional reflection, and fosters deep engagement in a hands-on way that few other activities can.
Weather it's a preschooler exploring for a college audition, or an adult who always has music lessons on their bucket list, music lessons create a personalized journey of growth. At Forté Music School, instructors work one-on-one with each student to meet them where they are - helping them grow not only as musicians but as confident, creative individuals.
OPEN TO ALL AGES, ALL LEVELS
The new Perrysburg location offers flexible lesson options for children, teens, and adults - from complete beginners to experienced musicians. Forté Music School offers a welcoming environment where every student is encouraged to thrive, no matter their background or ability.
LOOKING AHEAD
With over 900 students enrolled and more than 50 professional teachers, Forté continues to raise the bar for private music education in Northwest Ohio. The new Perrysburg school is another step forward in their mission to make music acessable, enriching, and fun for all.
