Over 1,100 lessons happen across our studios each week. Here's what Hilliard-area students and parents say about theirs.
Join 5,000+ students who've discovered the joy of music at our four Columbus locations. Start with a $29 trial lesson — No Commitment, No Pressure.
Still have questions? Everything you need to feel confident starting music lessons & classes.
The first step is to book a 30-minute trial lesson.
Call/Text us at 614-964-1001, or use our easy online scheduler.
It's a relaxed 30-minute intro where you'll meet your teacher, share your goals, and experience what music lessons are like.
If it feels like the right fit, enrollment is simple. Just stop at our front desk after your trial or enroll directly from the follow up link in your email.
Yes — most students who start with us in Hilliard have never played a note before. Our teachers build every first lesson around getting comfortable, not getting it perfect. No experience is needed. Every musician you've ever loved was once a beginner.
Our music teachers meet students exactly where they are. Whether you've never touched an instrument or have been playing for years, your first lesson is designed around you — your pace, your personality, your goals.
The foundation we're building isn't just musical. It's confidence. And that starts on day one.
No long-term contracts. Lessons run month-to-month and if you ever need to stop, we simply ask for 30 days’ notice.
And if life gets in the way of a lesson, we offer unlimited makeups with at least 24 hours’ notice. So missing a week doesn’t mean losing momentum.
Tuition is billed monthly and includes your lessons, recitals, our Level Up Achievement program, and more! All designed to keep students engaged and progressing.
Payments are processed automatically via ACH or credit card on the first of each month. Click here to View Tuition Rates.
For ages 3–6, our Animal Adventures program is where little musicians begin. It's joyful, playful, and designed for kids not quite ready for private lessons.
Private music lessons can begin as early as age 5, depending on the instrument. Click here to view our Starting Music Lessons At The Right Age Guide.
We also teach teens and adults, because it's never too late to begin.
During your trial lesson, instruments are provided. Just show up ready to have fun.
After enrolling, students will need an instrument at home for practice. Not sure what to buy? Your music teacher will help guide you on purchasing your first instrument.
*Students taking wind lessons will need to bring their own instrument even during trial lessons.
