I really wanted this to be a positive experience because my grandson truly loved the class. He's…read moreonly 2 1/2 and is still learning how to be around other kids and follow structure, which is exactly why we enrolled him. Before signing up, I asked if the instructor would be able to handle a high-energy toddler and were reassured that it wouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately, that didn't seem to be the case. While I understand the importance of structure and rules, the approach taken didn't feel supportive or age-appropriate. There were moments where he seemed to be singled out or excluded--for example, when other children were given instruments and he was not. He was also removed from class, which for a 30-minute session means he missed the entire experience, without other options offered (like having a parent assist). I completely understand that not every class is the right fit for every child, but at this age, patience and redirection go a long way. It was disappointing because he genuinely enjoyed being there. I hope the program can consider a more supportive approach for younger children who are still learning how to navigate structured environments.

Music on Magnolia is a great music school to teach children and adults new instruments!…read more My kid is just over two years old and he attended Music on Magnolia for their toddler classes in which they play with rhythms and sounds. This class was just 30 minutes every Saturday morning and my kiddo absolutely loved it. The teacher was super patient with the little ones, and made it a very fun experience for everyone. Unfortunately the class was removed off the program and he will no longer be able to attend. However, I look forward to coming back to Music on Magnolias once he is older and he can attend their Music Exploration classes.

He played for my 10 year old son ( who was taking lessons from another teacher at the time) and I was so impressed...with his talent AND how good he was with kids. After our agreement with our current teacher was over, we called Steve! My son has been taking lessons since September and we love him! My son is learning so much and he loves Steve's teaching style. He said he is so easy to learn from. On top of that, Steve comes to our house...and he is always on time!! I highly recommend him!

From the owner: We specialize in both beginner and intermediate level piano lessons, for both children and adults…read more We use the Bastien Method of Piano Pedagogy - a gradual multi-key learning approach that takes students through all 12 major musical keys. Students ages 6-9yrs start on the Primer main book along with the Primer Theory book. The focus of the main books and the theory books overlap, which makes for a well-rounded, integral approach. In the theory books, the students learn basics of medodic and harmonic intervals. Also, we have the Primer Performance book which gives the student actual songs to learn and practice. Beginners also use the Schaum Notespeller, which teaches all the basics of reading music. The beginner also learns all about rhythm and and different time signatures. If a student is age 10 or older and has had some primary music taught in school, we begin with the Bastien Level 1 books, usually in concert with the Primer Theory book and Notespeller 1.

It's been difficult to find someone who starts from the very beginning, all the way to the basics of music theory. We have been blessed to find Giovanni and his studio. He is incredibly patient and so very knowledgeable! When my son goes rogue during the lesson he politely provides constructive criticism and honest feedback getting him back on track. I can't wait to see how much my son improves with additional lessons. Currently I am sitting here in their studio writing this to avoid making eye contact with my child. Once he sees me paying attention it's all over. The struggle is real.
