Why Choose Us?

You are getting so much more than music lessons - you are getting a MEMBERSHIP to our Musical Community!

We have a number of wonderful reasons to choose our Studio, but our most important reason is you probably won’t find another Studio that cares as much about your or your student’s growth as ours. We truly believe that when students have a goal, such as a recital, open mic, or any other of our performance opportunities, they will practice more, learn faster, and then through performing, become more self-confident! We want to nurture that self-confidence, helping students perform in a friendly, loving atmosphere where they can have great personal growth. Here's a great list of additional things you'll have access to with a membership at The Music Studio Atlanta:

Your choice of lessons in your home, at one of our studio locations, or online.

We love providing options for our students! We have wonderful, fully equipped studio locations in Vinings. East Cobb, Johns Creek, and are looking to expand into your neighborhood soon! If it’s not convenient for you to come to one of our three Atlanta studios, we are able to service several Atlanta, East Cobb , and Johns Creek neighborhoods with in-home lessons (where the teacher comes to your home). They are at an increased cost, but it’s all about the amazing convenience of someone coming to you.

And if you are not in our service area or just want to enjoy lessons on your own terms, we offer weekly online lessons, and also this online option for when you travel for work or pleasure, or on the occasion when you or your children are under the weather and unable to come into the studio.

Access to a Large Variety of Instruments

Choose from: piano lessons, acoustic and electric guitar, ukulele and electric bass lessons, singing/vocal lessons, drum lessons, string lessons (including violin, viola and cello), woodwind lessons (including clarinet, saxophone, flute) All in one location! We have a large roster of friendly, fun and talented teachers happy to assist you with your musical goals.

We also have Summer and School break Camps, Workshops and Bootcamps!

For our youngest musicians, we offer Harmony Explorers™—an innovative program designed for children ages 3 to 5 that introduces music through engaging activities, games, and hands-on learning.

Flexible Scheduling

We have a wide range of teaching hours, making it easy for you to find a time that fits your schedule! (Please check with your neighborhood location for teaching hours). With our large staff of wonderful, talented teachers, we make it easy for a family to take multiple instrument lessons at the same time, saving you time!

Our Music Instructors

All teachers at The Music Studio Atlanta go through a multi-step interview and audition process, ensuring that they are in line with our Studio’s philosophy and standard of excellence. We also have yearly background checks on the entire staff for your peace of mind.

We have a very large staff of fabulous music teachers, all with either college training and/or professional performance experience. In addition to their teaching credentials, our teachers have warm personalities and are extremely friendly and dedicated to teaching you the style of music that you want to learn!

We want to find out about your personal musical goals and help you to achieve them. And with multiple teachers for each instrument, we are confident that we have the right teacher to meet your music lesson needs. If for any reason you are not meshing with your teacher, we will happily match you with teachers until you are loving your lessons!

Safety as a Priority

We may have a fun appearance and feel, but we are serious about your student's safety and comfort. All of our teachers go through a rigorous interview process with full (yearly) background checks. We are also fully monitored with video cameras with audio located in all public areas within our buildings, and observation windows in each of our teaching rooms that allow you to watch your student’s lessons should you choose.

At our Studios, we are also serious about cleanliness! We sanitize between students, have plenty of hand sanitizing stations, and offer all classes online at any time for the comfort of the student and family.

Access to Multiple Performance Opportunities

We offer many performance opportunities each year – our popular Winter Concerts, Open Mic Nights at St. Angelo’s Pizza every other month, Summer Recitals, St. Angelo's Summer Series, and of course our Destination Performance Series. Each of these give our students the opportunity to perform their music in a warm, loving atmosphere in different venues and for different styles of audiences. By offering several performance options, we are able to have more student participation, produce well rounded performers, and build student confidence!

Year-Round Music Lessons with No Contracts

We teach year-round, allowing students to continually progress throughout the year. If you need to cancel lessons due to sickness, travel or summer camp, we have several options for you to not miss a thing! Should you need to stop lessons for any reason, all you have to do is let us know.

Access to our Patent Pending, Proprietary Curriculum and Student Rewards Program

Every student is automatically enrolled in The Musical Stripes Academy™ as part of their lessons, at no additional cost. The Academy celebrates progress, builds motivation, and gives families a clear view of each student’s musical growth.

Each quarter, students set three personalized goals with their teacher. As they achieve those goals, they earn colorful Stripes pins for their stole, along with buttons for special milestones such as recitals, birthdays, and open mics. Each year of continued lessons is recognized with a Cord, celebrating their dedication and time in the Academy.

More than a reward program, The Musical Stripes Academy™ is a celebration of progress, belonging, and lifelong musical growth.
