The Best Way to Learn Fast - All Ages and Abilities
Let us introduce you to our group music lessons! They're called Accelerated Labs and are an innovative approach to music education that teaches independent practice skills and accelerates achievement. Lab students move faster through their music, are better at practicing, and are more self-sufficient learners. For most beginning to intermediate students, it’s the best way to learn. Watch Kay explain it in our 90 second video below!

Three to five students work separately at their pianos with headphones, alternating between interacting with the teacher and independent learning. The lab is compatible with any curriculum, preferred method or repertoire. Each student’s progress is completely separate and independent from everyone else. In addition to their regular curriculum books, Lab students work from Musicologie's proprietary Lab curriculum which fills learning gaps and makes drilling scales and technique fun!
Our group music lessons, specifically Accelerated Piano Lab, have been shown to dramatically improve a student’s sight reading skills. This is the biggest skill that students need in order to learn music quickly.
Students move through their books faster.
Students learn more music each week.
Includes proven practice techniques so home practice is all about review and increasing speed.
Less tedium = more fun at home.
Minimizes the parent's need to supervise practice at home.
Fewer battles about practicing and just more fun!

"Our experience has far surpassed any expectations! We wholeheartedly recommend Musicologie!" - Emily
Lauren very patient and encouraging. I feel like it is worth spending more time to see what can be developed. Having no background or experience with you music I came in ready to say there was no chance. She had given me hope and encouragement
It was easy to schedule our first lesson / assessment online, and despite having limited prior experience with our respective instruments, both my daughter and I learned some skills that we were able to take home and put to use immediately. We're excited to enroll in weekly classes moving forward!
Neil was extremely skilled at finding ways to connect with Myles…. Who is typically very shy and not easily participatory. Neil has a very low key and approachable style …. Great for kids like Myles. The experience was all that I had hoped for and more.. … a positive half hour exploring some instruments and some aspects of music and rhythm and connecting appropriately with a new person!!!
Our kids have been at Musicologie for a year now, and it has been a wonderful experience for our family. Their piano teacher, Kaitlin, is truly outstanding. She has a rare gift for being both highly didactic and genuinely fun, blending solid technique with creativity in a way that keeps the kids engaged and motivated. Our guitar teacher, Gary, is a special musician who knows how to teach through challenge. He pushes just enough to build real skills and confidence, and his approach works beautifully. The kids are proud of what they can do and excited to keep improving. Musicologie has been a warm, inspiring place for our children to grow musically, and teachers like Kaitlin and Gary make all the difference
My daughter is receiving voice lessons here. From the start, they were very kind and understanding. Non-judgmental. Cool space to learn. 5 stars so far.
It is an excellent school. Piano teacher Djuana is very patient with my daughter hahaha. She is very friendly. If there were more stars, give her more.
My 4 year old son loved his first piano lesson! Beth is so patient and caring. I am excited to see how he progresses!
Nicholas is an incredible teacher He is patient, caring, and creative, and he makes piano lessons so fun for a young child who is difficult to teach/wrangle. The office manager is also helpful, friendly, and accommodating. We've had a great experience over the past few months and are excited to continue.
Nia was great! She balances instruction, correction, and encouragement perfectly. Her energy is motivating.
Beth was wonderful! Very patient with my shy kid during her first piano lesson. We will be coming back!
First introductory lesson. Supportive environment. I am now pursuing my guitar playing dr n
Jakob was so kind and helpful! Today was my son’s very 1st voice lesson and Jakob created a fun, calm environment that encouraged him and made him want to sign up for more lessons in the future! 🙂
Emily was a delight as a voice teacher! I had trialed another school, but their instructor had pushed me too fast with pieces that were way too difficult for me and did not listen to what I needed. Emily, on the other hand, wanted to know my goals and completed a voice assessment using various techniques that got me singing with a way wider range. Plus, she was great at putting me at ease. Highly recommend Emily.
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.
Avery has been beyond amazing with our first daughter learning piano. He is so calm and compassionate with the beginning learners —while he is a Professional pianist!! Our other daughter is so excited to start with Avery in the upcoming weeks! Our daughter was his only performer for Westerville and Avery showed up to support her!! We love musicology and Avery!!!!

We are driven by a set of unifying principles that guide every lesson, every class, and every interaction.
Research shows the earlier you start, the more lifetime benefits you receive from studying music.
Music is awesome! It teaches so many things: emotional intelligence, discipline, self-awareness, motor skills, dexterity and more.
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.
We know a student's success is our responsibility. It's our job to make lessons engaging, fun, and easy to be excited about.
All our lessons and classes are experiential and immersive, fun and exciting!
We grow the trust, mutual respect and confidence of our students by assuming good intentions from everyone.
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.
Musicologie Strongsville
We want you to have total confidence that Musicologie Strongsville 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.
The Musicologie Method is at the core of every lesson and class we teach. It’s rooted in two things: a safe environment, and student-centered learning. 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.
Student-Centered Learning means harnessing trust, collaboration, and exploration to give students the agency and the inspiration to achieve their goals and to make the learning process engaging and fun.
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 Strongsville, 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!
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.
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.
Sure, we offer drop-in lessons for students who can't commit to a weekly lesson.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Each of our studios may have different prices, so get started here to learn more!
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.
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.
Musicologie cannot offer refunds for any missed or unused lessons.
