Top Questions About Music Lessons in Lewis Center

How are Musicologie teachers certified?

Our certification program is a 5 level program that measures a teacher's education, teaching hours, student retention, commitment to personal development, and community leadership. Teachers are encouraged to mentor each other, learn new skills and curriculum, and attend classes on everything from pedagogy to diversity and inclusion. It's the only program of its kind and truly sets Musicologie teachers apart.

Can I try just one lesson?

Yes! The first lesson is called an assessment lesson. There’s no obligation to sign up for weekly lessons. The assessment lesson is designed for your teacher to get to know you and your goals and recommend curriculum to achieve those goals. It’s also a chance to make sure it’s a good fit. If for any reason you’re not satisfied, we’ll match you with additional teachers for free or refund the assessment fee.

How long does it take to learn?

Not as long as you might think! Our programs will get you singing or playing right away. Our students make music a part of their lifestyle. They stay consistent and don’t sweat it if they miss a lesson or are too busy to practice one week. They get back on and keep going. Learning an instrument is a journey. You’ll learn a lot about yourself, and your goals will change as you progress. The important part is to take the first step, and see what’s possible.

What will I learn?

Your lessons will be guided by your goals. You'll learn exactly what you need and nothing you don't. For example, if your goal is to sing Tom Petty songs around a campfire, your teacher will skip note reading and theory and go straight for the three chords you need to play any Petty tune. If you want your child to learn how to be a well rounded musical human with all the accompanying developmental benefits, your teacher will use a curriculum like Faber or Alfred's and take them through theory, technique and note reading, as well as playing fun songs they'll enjoy. If you're not sure what your goals are yet, or even what instrument to choose - no problem! We'll match you with a teacher of multiple instruments who can take you through different concepts and possibilities, always focusing on music you like.

How do I start?

Get started here. A Community Manager will reach out to you and match you with a certified expert teacher based on your goals. You’ll do an initial 30 minute assessment lesson with your teacher to talk about what you want to achieve and make sure it’s a good fit. Then, you’ll sign up for weekly lessons and start practicing!

Do I need an instrument?

At your first lessons you can use one of our instruments at the studio. Ask your Community Manager for details. For ongoing practice at home, you will need an instrument. If you don’t have one, we'll help get you what you need!

How much does Musicologie cost?

Lessons and programs range in cost and vary by location. Contact us to learn more!

What's the Perfect Match Promise?

Our Perfect Match Promise is our guarantee to you that you'll love your Musicologie teacher, or we'll match you with a new one for free, or refund your first month of lessons. It means there's no risk to sign up for your first lesson.

Music Education Programs

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 Lewis Center 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 Gahanna, 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 ongoing lessons, classes or programs at Musicologie. It is a flat fee billed monthly. With a Lesson Membership you get:

  • A weekly lesson or class scheduled at the same day and time with the same teacher - 30, 45 or 60 minutes long, depending on the program

  • Unlimited rescheduling with 24 hour cancellation notice

  • Member Events and Concerts

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:

  1. Log into your account at Musicologie.com

  2. 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.

  3. The canceled lesson will remain in your account to reschedule at any point in the future.

  4. If you withdraw from lessons, you can no longer reschedule any lessons you cancelled.

  5. 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.
