How Our Music Lessons Work
At our Atlanta studio, lessons are weekly one-on-one sessions with a teacher specifically matched to you or your child based on your experience and goals. We offer both live online lessons and in-person lessons at our studios. Our teachers are experts at introducing young students to music, helping middle and high school students succeed in juries and competitions, or even helping professionals hone their craft.
The Lesson Membership
When you sign up, you'll purchase a lesson membership, which is a flat fee billed on the 1st of each month. We recommend 30-minute weekly private lessons for young beginners and hourly long weekly lessons for advanced players and adults. The lesson membership includes:
A weekly lesson time - in person or online - reserved with an expert teacher
Unlimited rescheduling with 24 hours notice - made easy through your online account
At least two concerts annually and other cool performance opportunities
Getting Started
The first step is to introduce yourself and help us get to know you. You can do that by filling out our get started form. We'll talk briefly about what you want to achieve and then we'll schedule a 30 minute assessment lesson. At the assessment, you’ll meet your teacher, who will go over your goals and develop a personal curriculum for you. We know that your relationship with your teacher is the most important thing about lessons and we work hard to make sure it's right from the beginning. After the assessment, you'll sign up for ongoing weekly lessons. Most are 30 minutes, but some students do 45 minute or hour long lessons. All ongoing lessons are reserved for you on the same day and time each week with the same teacher. You'll also be able to attend optional group classes, performances and open practice.

My 13-month-old son just started the Musicologie Junior classes with Miss Rachel and we are LOVING it! All the activities are easily adaptable for different skill levels. The whole class is engaging, and beginner music concepts and ideas are taught in such a fun way.

Devon has been an incredible drum instructor for my son Caleb! From day one, he has been patient, encouraging, and truly passionate about teaching music. Caleb has grown so much in both skill and confidence, and it’s amazing to see how excited he gets for his lessons each week. Devon has a great way of connecting with children and making learning fun while still challenging them to improve. I also appreciate his professionalism, consistency, and positive energy. You can tell he genuinely cares about his students and their progress. I highly recommend Devon to any parent looking for a talented and supportive drum instructor!

We had such an incredible experience at my daughter‘s first piano lesson. We were warmly greeted by the owner upon arrival and walked through how everything works. Her teacher, Miss Naomi, was so patient and very informative. I was nervous about taking a five year-old (typical age related attention span & listening skills concerns), but they were so patient and well-versed in how to meet her where she was at. They took a very personalized approach to observing her and what would work to pique her interest. We are excited to get signed up for lessons!

Some teachers leave an impression. Others change lives. Our music teacher, Nicholas Rice, has done that for our family. He has given our children far more than piano and voice instruction. He has helped them believe in themselves, find confidence on stage, and develop a true love for music and performing. Most importantly, he makes them feel seen, valued, and loved. Our children genuinely look forward to every lesson because of the warmth, encouragement, joy, and passion he brings into teaching. Watching their growth under his guidance has been incredible. There is no question why he was named the #1 teacher in the company nationwide. He is exceptional in every sense of the word, and our family feels deeply grateful to know him.

My 13 year old son says he really likes both of his instructors. According to him, "it's so casual with Josh (a big compliment from a teen ha) and at Rock Stars with Cade, I get to play other styles of music I wouldn't ordinarily think to choose as well as other instruments". This is so huge for us because it's literally the first activity in his life that we've started him in that he looks forward to as opposed to complaining about going! A big thanks to Josh and Cade for all you do to further his music education and development!

Musicologie Lakeway is an incredible place! We were lucky enough to meet Nick at their open house and he ended up being the perfect match for my son who had been playing piano for a bit. Besides being an extremely talented musician, Nick is a gifted teacher. My son loves music theory and Nick has imparted so much knowledge on him in just a few short months. This music school is very well run -- manager Christian is super responsive and flexible with scheduling needs. Brand new facilities and instruments are the cherry on top.

I’m so thankful for having an excellent piano and voice teacher Mr Wes, who is also guiding me on the different ways I could play my original songs and how I feel that I’m advancing on my advance piano lessons, I watched the show they had at the mall about 2 months ago and it really motivated me to keep learning all the way. I also like the fact that they also teach children, because I’m planning to bring my grandkids so they can learn piano and take voice lessons too. Thank you Musicologuie and thank you teacher Wes, blessings! 🙏👏

Eric was wonderful with my kids! He was so patient, upbeat, and made learning the drums exciting for them. I really appreciate how he kept things engaging while still teaching technique.

Our Philosophy Of Education
We are driven by a set of unifying principles that guide every lesson, every class, and every interaction.
We Start Early
Research shows the earlier you start, the more lifetime benefits you receive from studying music.
We Teach Life Skills
Music is awesome! It teaches so many things: emotional intelligence, discipline, self-awareness, motor skills, dexterity and more.
We Teach the Process of Learning
We focus on the process rather than the product, facilitating discovery rather than dictating information. We teach how to learn, not just what to learn.
Our Responsibility
We know a student's success is our responsibility. It's our job to make lessons engaging, fun, and easy to be excited about.
We Believe in Immersion + Exploration
All our lessons and classes are experiential and immersive, fun and exciting!
We Assume Good Intentions
We grow the trust, mutual respect and confidence of our students by assuming good intentions from everyone.
We Encourage Mistakes
Making mistakes is what learning is. You try something, make mistakes, and try again. We encourage mistakes so our students are excited to take risks and try new things.

Frequently Asked Questions
We want you to have total confidence that Musicologie Atlanta is the right place for you or your child to start, or continue your musical journey. So we've collected the most frequently asked questions about our music lessons, our programs, and what it's like learning music at Musicologie.
What is the Musicologie Method™?
The Musicologie Method™ is rooted in two things: a safe environment, and education through play. Research tells us these two elements are key components of the way everyone learns, from kids through adults.
In music lessons, a safe environment means a place where you feel free to be who you are, encouraged to play the music you enjoy, and excited to try new things. Education through play means having fun playing your instrument! That's why it's called playing music! We use games and strategies to help our music students make serious progress while enjoying the process.
What ages does Musicologie teach?
We teach all ages. Many of our students are between the ages of 5 and 12, but we teach toddlers and we teach many adults, too! Our toddler music class is called Musicologie Junior and starts at 6 months. Private lessons start at 5. We also have a rock band class called Rockstars where students ages 7+ learn to be rock stars and play at local venues!
We also have member workshops, open mics, and concerts for all our students, including adults! At Musicologie Atlanta, not only can you learn an instrument from an amazing, friendly, certified teacher, but you can meet other musicians and join a community of music explorers!
How do I sign up for lessons?
Get started here by answering a few questions. We'll match you with a teacher and find a time that works for ongoing lessons. The first lesson is called an assessment lesson.
What's a lesson membership?
A lesson membership is how you sign up for your weekly lesson or class at Musicologie. Your membership fee is billed monthly. The price depends on which lessons or classes you're enrolled in.
Can I do lessons every other week?
Sure, we offer drop-in lessons for students who can't commit to a weekly lesson.
What if I start in the middle of the month?
You will be charged a prorated amount for the remaining days in the month and then you’ll go into our automated system and be billed on the 1st of each month for the upcoming month.
How do I withdraw from lessons?
To withdraw from lessons, you must give 30 days advance notice by filling out our online exit form. This is the only way to withdraw. Contact us for the exit form.
What curriculum does Musicologie use?
We know that you'll stay more engaged by learning music you love and you'll grow faster by using what you've learned in your lessons in performances. We'll take our own Musicologie Method, along with traditional method books like Suzuki, Alfred's, Faber, etc., and combine that with contemporary music you're excited about with the goal of performing in one of our ensembles, group classes, or at one of our concerts.
Do I need my own instrument?
Not for your first lesson. We have instruments at our studios you can use for the first few lessons. But after that you'll want to get your own instrument for practice at home. Your teacher will help you pick out the right one. We also have open practice hours so you can come in and use instruments and practice rooms at Musicologie during the week.
If you do have your own instrument, you should definitely bring it with you, as long as it's easily portable - leave your piano and drums at home
What's an Assessment lesson?
An assessment lesson is what we call your first lesson. Don't worry, it's not a test! You'll come in, meet your teacher, talk about your goals, go through our policies and develop an individual curriculum. Every student does it regardless of age or ability. For very young students, an assessment is also a chance to see if they're ready for private lessons.
What are Musicologie's prices?
Each of our studios may have different prices, so get started here to learn more!
Can I reschedule a lesson if I can't come?
Of course! Here's how it works:
Log into your account at Musicologie.com
Find the lesson you want to change and select 'cancel' or 'reschedule' at least 24 hours before the lesson. Musicologie Junior and Accelerated Labs can be canceled or rescheduled up to 30 minutes before the class.
The canceled lesson will remain in your account to reschedule at any point in the future.
If you withdraw from lessons, you can no longer reschedule any lessons you cancelled.
If you re-enroll, any previously cancelled lessons will still be available in your account.
How do I pay for lessons?
When you sign up for lessons, your credit card or debit card will be automatically debited a flat fee each month on the 1st of the month. To withdraw, you need to provide us with 30-days notice by filling out a withdrawal form. Contact your teacher for the form.
Does Musicologie offer refunds?
Musicologie cannot offer refunds for any missed or unused lessons.
