About

Why Choose Us?

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 we offer you or your student 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 and in East Cobb and are looking to expand into your neighborhood soon! If it’s not convenient for you to come to one of our Atlanta studios, we are able to service several Atlanta and East Cobb 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.

We have a large roster of friendly, fun and talented teachers happy to assist you with your musical goals.

We also have Rock Band classes, Vocal Groups, Summer and School break Camps, Workshops and Bootcamps!

Our Music Instructors

All teachers at The Music Studio Atlanta go through a multiple 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, 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 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.
