In-Home or In-Studio Music Lessons?

As many of your know, we offer both in-home or in-studio music lessons. There are only a couple of differences between the two, but they are significant. If you’re wondering which one you’d like to do, this post may help. Our in-home clients tell us that the main benefit to not going to the studio is that we drive through crazy traffic so they don’t have to. Having your great teacher show up at your door week after week – well prepared and ready to engage and teach – is a wonderful luxury. Sure, it’s a bit more expensive … but who wouldn’t want that?Here's a funny fact: that’s what we thought before we opened our first neighborhood studio 10 years ago!  When we opened the Vinings studio, we learned a thing or two. Some families wouldn’t miss the experience for anything. (We're just now opening our East Cobb studio.)For one thing, our studios are beautiful – comfortable for everyone and fully stocked for students. Another is the group vibe, where students get to see, hear, and often interact with other students who are also excited about learning music. The Studio is a happening place! For many kids and parents, that environment outweighs the drive.So each has its unique benefit, but other than those very specific reasons, the countless benefits of music lessons are totally independent of where the student learns.

Just Take Lessons!
