I started my journey at Music House School of Music after seeing the incredible progress my kid…read moremade as a bassist. It inspired me to finally commit to learning an instrument, something I'd always wanted to do. Both of us started as beginners and, thanks to the amazing instruction, we now perform with bands. Music House truly is an incredible place to learn. Aiden and Jerad, my instructors, have challenged me in ways that have allowed me to confidently call myself a musician. My kid can proudly say the same. If you're looking to learn how to rock, Music House is the place to be!

Our 15-year-old son has been at Music House for 2 years. His confidence in his playing and his…read morecomfort in performance (he's an introvert and was quite reticent to be in front of an audience) has increased exponentially in the time he's been there. Their style of instruction has clicked for him and they have "gently" coaxed him into comfortable performance settings that have really done wonders for him, beyond traditional private lessons. He's asked for additional lessons and even played in one of their bands, results we couldn't have dreamed about the year before he started lessons.

To stretch and challenge myself in a new (and slightly uncomfortable) way, I decided to pursue a…read morelifelong dream: learn to play the drums. I searched online for lessons and came across the Music House in Overland Park. After completing their online form, I received a call from Alex. From the very first conversation, Alex set the tone for what would become a wonderful experience. He asked thoughtful questions about what I hoped to accomplish and even humored me when I admitted that the first song I was attempting to learn was none other than Led Zeppelin's The Ocean, a tough one for a beginner. I scheduled my first session and was greeted warmly by the staff, something that remained consistent every single week I walked through the door. Music has always been an important part of my life, but over the years, the "play" part faded away. Taking lessons at the Music House, especially under Alex's patient and kind guidance, has been about so much more than just learning the instrument. I now know the basics of how to play the drums, but more importantly, I've rediscovered the joy of learning something new (even in mid-life) and the confidence that comes with stepping outside of my comfort zone. The Music House is a place where encouragement, kindness, and great teaching come together, and I can't recommend it highly enough to anyone looking to begin (or return to) their musical journey.

She brought down every instrument I wanted to try. Explained the pros and cons of everything in detail, etc. Who knew I'd end up leaving after renting a cello (I mean, I guess it's like a giant violin, so maybe I didn't stray too far) and signing up for lessons as soon as they have an instructor available. Lol!! They also have a location maybe 2 miles from us which is a plus as well. Very helpful, highly recommended even if you have zero clue where to start.

Didn't know this place existed!…read more Stopped in on a lark and bought three LPs right off the bat. This place is a dream. It's look and feel harken back to the old days of being able to wander into a record store shop around and flip through several hundred LPs check- out the latest stuff in from both the new and the latest used music. Then you can wander over to the other part of the store and look at the classic toys you grew up with and reminics about how much your Heman collection would be worth. Then snag a Voltron figure for your office shelves! I guess this shows how nerdy I actually am... but I know I will see many of you at this store!

Went up to playing his first show on drums with the band, which they happily named The Snake Skulls! Price can get a little steep, but if you can afford it, it's one of the best places we've been for music lessons. The staff is amazing and welcoming. Kyle was terrific with the kids and would always stop to talk music with me when he could. Jeremy is extremely helpful with anything you need and would answer all my questions about drum tech, even helping us find a good deal on an electric kit for our son to practice on at home. Hopefully one day, we will be able to start lessons here again.
