Things we’re ghosting this October (because old approaches to music lessons can be a bit SCARY!) 👻

1: Waiting for the “perfect” time to start. There’s no magic age, grade, or season to begin making music. And you don’t have to feel 100% ready. Just START!

2: Pressure to pick the “right” instrument. Piano, guitar, voice, drums…not sure yet? That’s okay! Part of the fun is discovering what you love. (And with a studio full of multi-talented teachers, you’re free to change your mind!)

3: Believing in the “natural talent” myth. Musicians aren’t just born. They grow through curiosity, practice, encouragement, and a great teacher in their corner. YOU are a musician!

4: Thinking practice has to be perfect. Some days are full of breakthroughs. Others are just a few minutes of trying to figure things out. Both count!

5: Making music lessons feel like a chore. Music should be something you look forward to, not just another thing on the to-do list. Let’s PLAY!

🪓 We’re axing the pressure and making more room for fun. Now THAT sounds like a treat! 🍬

Meet our studio’s newest piano instructor, Anna Lavin! 🎉

Anna has played piano for 19 years and has 8 years of teaching experience. She holds a bachelor’s degree in music from Ohio State. She is classically trained, but also enjoys jazz and pop. Recently, she has gained even more insight through participation in several different music pedagogy workshops, including at conferences for the Music Teachers National Association. 🎶

Anna told us what motivates her: “My favorite part about teaching is getting to know my students, and watching them get involved with playing music in their community to bring joy to others. I always loved spending time at the piano growing up, and it became a major passion of mine when I got to experience playing with ensembles.” 🎹

Outside of lessons: “Geocaching is a niche hobby of mine! It’s a fun way to spend time outside and explore cool parts of the city—and a person of any age can enjoy it.” 🌟

We’re shining the spotlight on one of our awesome drum students, Marco Galati! 🌟

Marco started learning to play drums in early 2024 when he was 6 years old. He then became a Musicologie student exactly one year ago last September. 🥁 🎵

When we asked what is his favorite thing about taking drums with Kristin, he said “I have fun at every lesson!”

Now he is focused on learning how to play “Spiderwebs” by No Doubt, which you may get to hear him perform at our Halloween rock concert! 🕸️

Please join us in celebrating Marco’s dedication and musical journey! 👏 🎉

Our Community Managers are the heart and soul (🎹pun!) of our studios. Metaphorically: they wear all the hats, juggle all the balls, spin all the plates, and herd all the cats. Logistically: they run all the errands, clean all the things, wrangle all the calendars, send all the emails and most importantly: BRING ALL THE JOY! (Ok- and about infinity other things). Here’s a little snippet of what it’s like to be a Musicologie CM; the world’s best job (biased opinion!), done by the world’s best people (objective fact!)

From day one, to a year DONE, we’re thrilled to celebrate the studio birthday of our friends at Musicologie Prosper! 🥳 They’ve been bringing beautiful music to the fine people of Texas and blazing a trail for all of our newbie studios to follow. Congrats on a wonderful first year of singing, playing, learning and building a DELIGHTFUL community, Prosper team!

Lots of smiles and curiosity this morning as we explored Folk, Jazz and Classical music genres! In our Musicologie Junior program, children up to age 5 and they’re grown-ups sing dance, move and explore rhythm together in a playful 40-minute class. There is no experience needed, just room to join in and have fun. Your first visit is free at our Anderson studio. We can’t wait to share the joy of music with you!

Age ain’t nothin’ but a number: we’ve got “kids” of all ages having a blast playing at Musicologie! This week, many of our studios are celebrating Grandparents Week- giving our elders a chance to check out all the fun their youngsters are having. But no matter the date (or your maturity!) it’s always a good time for music! So if you’re 8 months, or 888 months, come see us, and see what you can do!

Our students are all stars, of course, but this weekend our Columbus studios proved it when they gathered for their annual All-Star concert! 🌟 35 students were selected from five Musicologie locations to take the stage, showing off some sensational musical skills. We love to see the talent on display, but the camaraderie between everyone is really something extra special. You won’t find a more supportive crowd than this community. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Rules, according to our Rock Band Bootcamp students:
🔹Respect the instruments
🔹Teamwork
🔹Always try
🔹Be nerdy
🔹Respect everyone
🔹People first, phones second

Sounds like a pretty good blueprint for life, TBH. (Especially for those of us already nailing that nerdy one! 🤓)

Summer might be winding down… or maybe you’ve still got a few weeks of sunshine ahead. (Lucky!!) ☀️

No matter the season, we love seeing Musicologie along for the ride. Beach days, road trips, backyard hangs, ok…and maybe now the school bus. Wherever you go, keep the music going. 💛

Is it still summer in your ‘hood? Or has back-to-school season begun?

Replaced our entire marketing team with this band of promotional powerhouses. 💫 “Musicologie’s the place!”: Original song by one of our Summer Camp groups!

(If that didn’t convince you to chat with us about music lessons…what will?!)

Community Manager ➡️ Studio Owner ➡️ Musicologie Junior Mom! Caitlin brought her new little guy to his first Junior class…taught at her very own studio: Musicologie Strongsville! We typically welcome kiddos at around six months old, so he got a teeny bit of a head start, but it’s never too early to learn the love of music! Yeah, baby! 👶🏼

Here is a quick look at our Music Explorers Camp final performance for friends and family last Friday! These kids did a wonderful job performing and sharing what they had worked on together during their week at Musicologie. Including this wonderful original song called “You Sparkle Every Day,” written and performed by our campers about their week at camp. Bravo to all of our music campers this summer!
