Meet the Founders
Musicologie was started in 2014 by musicians and teachers Kay and Joseph Barker. They've performed all over the country with their band, Bella Ruse and written music for TV shows and commercials. Their mission is to create inclusive communities of explorers and empower teachers to build sustainable careers. Read about how the Musicologie mission informs our decisions.
Musicologie now has more than 100 highly qualified, certified teachers, and six beautiful private lesson studios.
The Musicologie Method®
The Musicologie Method is at the core of every lesson and class we teach. It's rooted in two things: a safe environment, and education through play. Research tells us these two elements are key components of the way everyone learns, from kids through adults.
In music lessons, a safe environment means a place where you feel free to be who you are, encouraged to play the music you enjoy, and excited to try new things. Education through play means having fun playing your instrument! That's why it's called playing! We use games and strategies to help our music students make serious progress while enjoying the process.
