FAQs

Most children are ready for private weekly lessons after age 5, but they’re never too young for group lessons. We offer Ms. Jennifer’s Music Together for infants through 4 years, and children ages 4 and 5 love our Intro to Music. Early learning creates an amazing foundation for your little ones and sets them up for success when they’re old enough for weekly private lessons.

We do and have a wonderful adult community here! We offer multiple group and individual performance opportunities for our adult students.

Private lessons typically are 30 minutes for the beginner student and one hour for a more serious student or two instruments. All lessons are at the same time and day every week to ensure continuity.

We have instruments available for you to try initially to get a feel for what you might like. Once you’ve decided on an instrument, our friendly office staff can give you recommendations on where you can purchase or rent an instrument.

We hold regular recitals twice a year for students to participate in: Winter Recitals in January and Summer Recitals in June. In addition, we offer many other performance opportunities throughout the year, such as bi-monthly Open Mics at St. Angelo’s Pizza and our Destination Performance Series (performing at famous venues around the country). We also have seasonal performances at assisted living centers, festivals, and more. We even have “Adult Only” recitals for our super adult community!

Performing is a great way to enhance confidence and on-stage presence. Students who perform often practice more and level up their playing skills more quickly as well. Our performances are also great opportunities to be inspired by other musicians and enjoy the connecting power of music, so we encourage you to participate, no matter your skill level or age!

We are delighted to offer TWO options for makeup lessons:

Makeup Classes: Cancel ahead of time and use makeup tokens. With 24-hours advance notice, you can cancel ahead and then use your makeup tokens! You can use them on our variety of Workshops, learning a new instrument, a lesson in your current instrument with a different teacher, or just save them for a later time!

Virtual Lessons: Take your lessons at your normal time from ANYWHERE with an internet connection! Just let the office staff know, and we will make sure your teacher is online at your regular lesson time each week you can’t make it in person.

We hand-select each one of our talented teachers, and they all undergo a rigorous background check including references. Our hiring process includes auditioning for our Teacher Coordinator as well as multiple rounds of interviews with our directors and staff. We pride ourselves on our diverse collection of multi-talented teachers who come from various backgrounds … we’re sure to have the perfect teacher for you!

Not to worry! We understand that sometimes personalities, teaching styles, etc. may not match up and that’s okay. Let us know and we are happy to accommodate your needs and find you the BEST teacher to guide you on your musical journey.

No problem at all! Many of our teachers play multiple instruments, so it’s even possible that you may be able to continue lessons with the same teacher.

We bill monthly on the 1st of each month via credit card authorization. We must have a valid card on file for your account for this automatic tuition charge. For safety, we do not accept cash.

We have a convenient online portal located in the top right corner of this page under “Login”. Your Opus client portal is your main point of communication to The Music Studio Atlanta as well as a hub for all your account information. This platform also allows you and your teacher to share links, assignments, questions and more.

No problem at all! Please contact the front desk with any billing inquiries or with updated credit card information  at 404-351-9722.

We do not require contracts of any kind. However, if you would like to stop lessons we simply require that you fill out a withdrawal form by the 15th of the last month that you would like to take lessons. For example, if you wanted to stop lessons as of September 30th, we would need your withdrawal form by September 15th. Our front office staff can provide you with the needed form.
