The Musicologie Story
Hi - I'm Kay and I started Musicologie with my husband Joseph in 2014. We've been touring musicians (one of our songs just hit a million plays) and music educators for years. We opened Musicologie with a simple idea: Everyone is a musician. Play, sing, make beats, write songs, whatever kind of music making it is, it’s good for your mind, your body and your soul at every age. It's part of what makes us human.
There is a huge and growing segment of parents who see music programs being eliminated from their kids' schools and are looking for a replacement. But it’s a big challenge to create the experience those parents want and are willing to pay for. Private teachers are notoriously difficult to recruit and train, many having no experience working with kids. Maintaining a consistent, excellent standard of service is tough. Without consistency, the minority of customers who do have a good experience tend to be loyal to an individual teacher rather than the brand. These are classic challenges that every studio owner faces.
Our mission is to help music teachers, performers and entrepreneurs break through those challenges, build something big and impact their community in a really meaningful way. We’ve developed a replicable system for delivering simply delightful music lessons that’s been proven across six locations in three different markets. We’ve spent years of trial (and some error!) developing our systems, pricing, policies, branding, curriculum and most importantly, our culture. The business we’ve developed works, and it can work for you.
I'm so excited to share what we're doing with you. Let's get started.
Cheers,
Kay Barker
Founder
Musicologie
Music is magical. It's emotional. It's fun. It makes us feel things and see possibilities. It expresses love and hope and sadness and fear and wonder. Every culture ever known can be identified by the music played by its people. Music helps us learn. It improves coordination, language, reading and math skills. It nurtures our emotional and cognitive health. Studying an instrument makes our brains bigger and reduces chances of hearing loss and dementia.And get this - it's not merely that music provides these benefits; research shows learning music is the best way to get them. Because of all this, music lessons are one of the most important and impactful investments anyone can make in themselves or in their children.That's why. Because music makes us human.
To create an inclusive community of musical explorers and empower teachers to build sustainable careers.
Our mission is everything to us. It defines who we are, why we exist and where we're going next. We want to grow our community while doing right by those around us.
We act with integrity and tell the truth; we build trust through our words and actions.
We laugh and have a good time and leave other people’s days better than we found them.
We make music lessons fun! We are friendly, encouraging, patient and sometimes a little weird.
We communicate reliably and respectfully. Our words have the power to educate, inform and inspire.
We innovate and take risks, share openly and collaborate on forward thinking solutions. We create, and so we thrive.
We are curious and empathetic listeners willing and able to adapt our teaching methods to deliver an amazing learning experience.

What Our Students Are Saying
Craig Aune
Piano lessons with Cassie have been great! When I started I barely knew the basics; she did a great job taking my skill level into account and building from there. Now I can read sheet music and am able to learn new songs on my own. She's also been teaching me some music theory so I have a deeper understanding of the music rather than just memorizing individual songs. It's a great place to learn piano as an adult.
Dawn Roese
My 6 year old granddaughter started piano lessons with Allie back on March 4. She only goes 30 minutes once a week. She is also autistic.She absolutely loves her teacher and her lessons. It’s unbelievable how much she has learned in such a short time. I take her from time to time but I am amazed at what she knows each time I go. Her teacher Allie also has advised that she has “Perfect pitch”. The joy this experience has brought to the entire family is indescribable. This place and this teacher is going to be life changing for my Granddaughter. ❤️
Mark Butler
Have been a student for nearly 2 years now and couldn't be more impressed with the experience!Aaron is a fantastic piano teacher and am so grateful for the skills he continues to help me sharpen week-to-week. I also love the Musicologie platform for scheduling- and overall it just feels like a great company and culture for teachers and students alike. To anyone reading - just do it! 🙂
Darren Jordan
Justin is a guy who immediately connects with singers and musicians. My son is thrilled to get to work with him. We are anticipating great things.
Heather Y
Adult voice lessons with Molly are awesome because Molly is awesome! It's weird to take lessons as an adult but Molly makes it less weird, or leans into the weird, either way it's been a great experience!
Beth Burris
I recently attended a recital for the music students.It was a wonderful showcase of talent. What struck me even more was the sense of support, encouragement and community in the room as each person took the stage.It was a great show!
Diane Janicki
Great teachers, nice options of classes, and they are all really nice people.Alek- Age 10
Shannan Fleet
We are new to Musicology and so far? AWESOME! My kiddo has learned from 2 different instructors so far and really loved both of them. They both did a FANTASTIC job respecting my kid’s unique personhood and their learning style. Neither teacher so much as batted an eye when seeing us arrive in masks and immediately masked up as well, which relieved both of our anxiety about all that! I also absolutely LOVE the online account where parents and students can see lesson notes and make their own scheduling changes! That scheduling function is BANANAS! Got a conflict? No worries! Wanna try a different instructor or even another instrument? SURE! And there is no old-school phone tag trying to line it up just right…seriously…I cannot stress what a cool feature it is!
Morgan Boes
Great first class! Bobby was very informative and helpful. Looking forward to continuing my piano lesson journey with Musicologie.
Samuel de Lima
Ms. Jeanmarie and Megan helped me feel more confident in my piano playing and helped me get into college for music. I'm so grateful for their help!
Jonah Ort
I take guitar lessons with Danny, who is a joy to work with. I've learned a lot and Musicologie delivers great lessons at a reasonable price. Could not recommend Musicologie and Danny enough!!!
John Nerone
Jeremy has been doing a phenomenal job in working with Joshua on guitar. He has taken him from the foundations of the instrument into a level in which he is not only showing some proficiency, but also a ton of enjoyment. Thank you, Musicologie!
Natalie Singer
My girls love their lessons at Musicologie! Wonderful teachers and easy to use app to manage classes. Kristin made my shy 8 year old feel right at home and she loves her weekly drum lessons! Matthew is so calm and has helped my 11 year old gain confidence and excel at the flute. She is more excited about playing and looks forward to her lessons! My girls have improved so much and we have gotten many compliments from the music teacher at school!
Jessica Reyes
Jareth was wonderful and incredibly patient with my daughter (4) teaching her the piano. Excellent service!
John Sheil
I can already tell Jenna is a good teacher. She didn’t sugar coat the demands of adult learning and getting the mechanics of piano playing down before learning bad habits. I’m looking forward to working with her through the “eating my vegetables” phase of piano instruction.
Deborah Labon
Margot is very enthusiastic about learning piano. Thank you, Will, for an exciting assessment!
Heidi Braatz
Elaine is fantastic at teaching violin! Very patient and really makes the learning experience fun! I am probably her oldest student but she has taught me lots in under a year and always makes it fun!
Katharine Glasgo
Molly was great for me—an adult who has never taken voice lessons before. Helped me relax and have fun with it. The online scheduling is super easy and there’s great communication from them!
Jake Weir
I’ve been working with Kristin here for around 2-3 years now and I will say it has been an absolutely great experience. All the way back when I first started I was very un-inclined with music and I had no goals besides getting out of covid lockdown and learning some rock music, and crazily enough I’m now going be an double major music student at CCM next year; with no doubt in my mind it was these lessons that gave me the the ability to grow exponentially as a musician and find my confidence to actually understand my love of music. I would not be where I am without Musicologie and would absolutely recommend getting lessons here!
A May
Musicologie Dublin is a great community for my daughter to be a part of! The teachers are all passionate about they do.
Olivia Reid
Started taking voice lessons coming up on 2 years in October. I hadn’t ever taken any before then. My experience has been nothing but amazing. Looking back at old videos of my singing compared to now, the progression has been incredible. I am so much more confident in myself. My specific teacher is Cassie and she has taught me so many techniques that have broaden my singing styles to so much more than I thought I could ever do. She’s been patient, descriptive, and pushes me out of my comfort zone so I can see potential and progress. I could go on and on. Musicologie is a great place to pick up any new musical skill you’ve been wanting to learn at any age.
Kristin Botkin-Doty
My wife started lessons with Rhea and absolutely loves it! The lessons have been amazing and she is so happy! Thank you Rhea!
Hannah Botkin-Doty
Rhea is an amazing person. She took me on as a new student and been so encouraging and kind. She celebrates my pizzacatto like it’s an achievement and doesn’t make me feel badly when I struggle with my bow grip. I can’t wait to keep learning and growing through music at Musicologie!
Bethany Panchal
Natalia has been so great with my son, who has lots of energy. She keeps him focused and engaged. So glad we found her!
Jessica Hansen
Miss Hannah was very welcoming at our assessment appointment. She put my son at ease right away and was able to establish an easy rapport with him. We are very much looking forward to his lessons at Musicologie!
Amruta Ghanekar
Probably the best music center inColumbus. I am glad my children got this opportunity to be with one of the best people in this field and get to learn so much. They give one on one attention with so much love and warmth. That’s why my children keep coming back. They love their teacher Wesley and bothOf them respect and appreciate him a lot. All teachers I have seen so far here are really very polite and caring. Overall our experience is amazing and we all love Musicology.💕
Rebecca Barnhart
Skye is a fantastic instructor and so much fun to work with. I reviewed her months ago when I first started lessons but now that I've been working with her a while I just wanted to update it.Not only is she fantastic and fun, she knows how explain things in a way that is super comprehensive. I never struggle with wondering what she wants me to do.I've seen vast improvements in the months I've been working with her and look forward to every lesson.
Janine Bachmann
We love Musicologie. Wes and Ellie are the best! Both teachers are awesome with our kids. Our kids enjoy lessons and are learning so much!
Roy Williamson
By far the best music experience ever. You can learn any instrument or vocals here. My son loves piano, electric guitar and Rock band studies at Musicologie Westerville Ohio.
Elizabeth Maus
We take piano/voice with Regan and love it. It’s our first experience with any instrument/music and it’s perfect.
Souganya Nadaradjane
Myself and my son both take drum lessons here since the past year. We have our separate teachers and they are both so patient and professional! This is the music school for all ages!!
HELENA DALTON
First Lesson: Inna was amazing. My daughter was immediately receptive of her (well so was I and my husband) which was a good feel for us. Can't wait to start official lessons
Joy Hassan
Our daughter enjoyed having Mr. Devanté as a teacher. He pushed her to try more challenging songs which helped to grow her voice. Thank you very much, we had a great experience and would recommend Musicologie to others!!
Joppa Person
Andy was great! Nice, thorough and professional. My daughter had a great time learning!
Jessica Lin
both of my children attend piano lessons here at Musicologie. the previous community manager (magician?), Justin, fused the most perfect relationships between my children and their teachers. Geoffrey teaches voice and beginning piano and Wesley teaches piano, drums, and guitar (i believe i read ukulele somewhere as well). i cannot even imagine two more perfect people suited for my children and their personalities. so far, my only complaint is that i didn’t find them earlier. would rate higher if i could, but would absolutely recommend reaching out to this studio, as all of the instructors are amazingly talented, passionate, and knowledgeable (but most especially Geoffrey and Wesley 😉).
Alinda Olsen
I have been incredibly impressed with the professional and friendly staff and cannot say enough positive about my voice teacher Kate Merryman!! Her knowledge and skills helped me to be able to sing more strongly than I ever imagined and I am so grateful!
Christine Serfozo
I have a lifelong fear of singing in public but I love to sing, so I finally signed up for lessons at the age of 53. My first assessment with Molly was perfect. She talked through my fears and then worked with me in ways that were comfortable for me but still a tad challenging (as it should be). I feel 100% safe with her as I embark on this journey and can't wait to see what we'll get up to together.
Nick Sinclair
Great space, teachers and scheduling system. A lot of fun for an adult taking vocal lessons. Highly recommend. Front desk staff are nice and personable and teachers are knowledgeable, approachable and work with different skill levels in a professional and encouraging manner.
Katlyn Decker
Nicholas Is so patient with my son, he loves piano lessons with him 😊
Jeannie McLeod
Kaitlin was very professional and knowledgeable. I learned a lot in my first session and look forward to working with her.
Rebecca Bingham
Skye is a fantastic instructor and so much fun to work with. She made me comfortable being me right away and I cannot wait for my next lesson.
Tonie Falk
Impressed with the professionalism and honest evaluation during my assessment appointment. Thank you for matching me perfectly with Lucas!
Daniel Steiger
I have been taking piano lessons with Aaron for a couple months. Aaron is a fantastic teacher, a perfect mix of professional and personable. Every lesson is enjoyable and insightful, with explicit goals to hit every week. I would highly recommend Aaron as a piano teacher for all skill levels, as he has a very deep understanding of both teaching and music theory.
Tonie Falk
Impressed with the professionalism and honest evaluation during my assessment appointment. Thank you for matching me perfectly with Lucas!
Barbara Mace
I love taking classes through Musicologie. Very user friendly website. My instructor is patient and willing to work with my schedule. I have not picked up a flute in 50 years and Katherine met me at my skill level and keeps me motivated and challenged.
Inna Onofrei
My son absolutely loves his guitar teacher Mike McNamara at Musicologie Cleveland Heights. Mike is very kind, patient, passionate and talented teacher.
Alex Kinney
we have really enjoyed our time with Musicologie. Our son loves his pianos lessons and looks forward to them each week.easy scheduling and a great staff
Shuo Li
The teacher is so passionate with the kid and the class is so much fun! Highly recommended!

We loved our piano teacher, Wesley. He was understanding and challenging to my child without overwhelming him. Highly recommend
Alissa Schultz
My daughter has really enjoyed taking lessons with Ellie and has rediscovered her passion for piano.
Seth Peterson
My child really enjoys her experiences & lessons here.
Sara Goldman
I came to try to learn piano again after 25 + years of not playing at all. Pat was very responsive to my needs, and my teacher, Jiachen, did a fantastic job helping me learn things I never learned in my early days of lessons, like how to play scales. He was very patient with me. Overall a wonderful experience.
Mark Strahota
My two kids have had a great experience at Musicologie Dublin! They keep it rewarding and fun, and their teachers are so enthusiastic about teaching music to children.
Brooklynn Holtz
Andrew Hawk was great with my 6 year old son. He was patient, encouraging, and fun.
Patricia Burger
We absolutely love taking lessons here. Scheduling is flexible. The instructors are great. They motivate and inspire my daughter to be a better musician
Elliott Randolph
I can't begin to express just how impressed I am with Musicologie. I hit the lottery with my instructor. Nick was and is absolutely awesome. If you're looking for someone that will kinda go above and beyond, he's your guy. The staff is nothing short of kindhearted professionalism and even surpasses expectations. Just my 2 cents.
Pat Killebrew
I love this opportunity to take piano. They teach everything here, voice, drums, guitar, brass instruments etc. The teachers are great and easy to work with.
Niki and Chris Nart
Patrick is a very good Piano teacher. As an adult student, he was very patient and understanding of the struggle to find adequate time for practice, and gave great advice to keep progressing even with a tight time budget.
Shannon L
Just an absolutely wonderful experience! I learned so much!!!
Autumn Theodore
I’ve been taking piano lessons with Aaron Walsh for almost two years. I’ve only had one other piano teacher, but I’m certain Aaron is THE best out there! I hadn’t played in over 20 years (since I was in elementary school!) and he helped me start back up at a pace that felt comfortable - with beginner books but also stretch pieces to really push me and help me understand what’s possible with consistent practice.
Redwood River
My experience with Musicologie has been nothing but positive and empowering, and all communications have been clear, respectful, and flexibly accommodating. My instructor, Morgan Mecaskey, is absolutely outstanding, and I could not have lucked out with a better placement! I recommend Musicologie, both as an adult learner, coming back to music after decades, or as a young pupil who is just getting started and building their musicality. And it is super convenient, right in the heart of the neighborhood!
Joy Dillon
Our daughter enjoyed having Mr. Devanté as a teacher. He pushed her to try more challenging songs which helped to grow her voice. Thank you very much, we had a great experience and you recommend Musicologie to others!!
Amanda Hrnicek
The instructors at Musicologie truly have a passion for teaching their students! My daughter has been going there for about 9 months for piano and while she says learning it can be "hard" her instructor Geoffrey makes it so much FUN and works to keep her engaged! In addition to the wonderful instruction, the studio is a well run business. Justin and team provide great communication, ambiance, and opportunities for students to showcase what they're learning! We are so grateful to have found Musicologie for our daughter to learn piano!
Frankie Cropper
Our daughter has been going here for two months and loves every minute. She’s already grown so much and loves practicing and looks forward to lessons every week!
Varsha Kulkarni
My daughter takes lessons with Ahmad Hassan Virtually.We are grateful for the opportunity and one on one attention given to her.We have seen tremendous growth in her Piano skills after joining Musicologie! Highly dedicated,talented supportive ,friendly and fantastic staff.
Jessica Manley
I was new to the area and everyone I talked with was really friendly, helpful and kind. The place has a very welcoming feel like a large extended family. If you are considering taking singing lessons as an adult, I highly recommend starting now! There's no better time than the present to give yourself the gift of music. It's S'wonderful!
fofa Musė
MY kidos go for the junior classes with Mr brayson they really like it and they have so much fun I'm glad there's a place like that where they can explore some music at their age 😉
Rebecca Shaffer
My daughter is 8 and has been taking piano lessons for 3 months with Bryson and she absolutely loves it!! Bryson is fantastic with kids and has incredible ways to make learning fun!! I don’t even have to bug my daughter to practice at home because she plays the piano all the time! I couldn’t recommend Musicologie more, everyone we have met there has been amazing!!
Regan Welch
Great teachers who are friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed my Musicologie experience.
Amber Neff
My son takes weekly 30 minute piano lessons with Jiachen and he is learning very quickly. I'm very happy with my decision to take lessons here.
Tom Griffith
I’ve taken classical guitar and bass lessons from this school for years, and both of my teachers (Stuart and Ray) are phenomenal! I can’t recommend them highly enough. They’re great with kids of all ages, including adults like me. Enjoy your musical journey!
Trevor Jewell
Great experience overall. Aaron is an amazing piano instructor, and Annie at the front desk was helpful and accommodating. Highly recommended.
Tarisha Newton
I am so happy I decided to take voice lessons here! My instructor Austin is amazing!
Julia Beard
I love it!! I’ve learned a lot and totally recommend for anyone interested in music. My teacher is awesome and Ive never had a bad experience here.
Joe Tyson
Highly recommend the lessons here! Fantastic staff, very knowledgeable and friendly.
Katie Kramer
We love it here! Easy going, child focused, musical and artistic talent celebrated and nurtured at all levels.
Annie
I wanted a place where my kiddo could gain skills, explore new techniques, learn how to take care of her voice, and boost her confidence. Musicologie Dublin does that in spades. My kiddo was starting to get involved in community theater and she wanted to get more vocal training. I love that they are all actively practicing their craft outside of teaching. She's taken classes with Hannah and Josh, who were both fantastic, but I would confidently recommend every teacher I've met. It's a safe place for kids (and adults) to explore and learn, and the focus is on positive encouragement and growth. We wouldn't go anywhere else.
Laura Lovett
Musicologie has been the perfect place for my daughter to take flute lessons 🙂 All of the staff are very patient, friendly, and kind. They are very knowledgeable and my daughter has really enjoyed and looked forward to her time there. The establishment is always clean and tidy. LOVE MUSICOLOGIE! Thank you to Justin and Jeff for a great learning experience 🙂
Sheria Johnson-Wynn
Phenomenal! Megan prepared me for my re audition as vocalist back into my undergrad program after taking years off from a vocal injury! She was extremely knowledgeable and able to work with all ages and skill levels! I learned things I didn’t even learn as a music major on the collegiate level from her that has changed my entire career as a musician!
Tyler .Vachio
Justin is absolutely amazing. He has gone above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied. Thank you for your company sir.
Kent Morgan
Really appreciate such a rich resource for learning music locally. Great teachers that will take you as deep into tunes and theory as you want to go.
Andicus Music
Josh was so knowledgeable and helped me think about the fretboard in new ways. I will definitely be back for more lessons!
symone hamilton
I do piano lessons with Mrs Lauren.She makes me want to play piano and when I mess up she helps me figure it out. She is a nice and funny person and someone people want to be around. She is the reason I am still playing. I like how the studio is always clean, quiet, and the customer service is great. My parents agree she is the best piano teacher they have seen
Hodge Fenderson
Ray is a super teacher!
Tamani Lucy
My 5 year old looks forward to coming weekly. He enjoys his instructor Mr Patrick. He is able to keep him engaged and eager to learn about the piano. My son has learned so much in a short period of time and constantly developing his gift. Thanks Musicologie
Vanessa Henning
I LOVE all the different lessons they offer. And that as a regular piano student, you can substitute for lessons of a different instrument or voice. It’s nice to be able to experiment with something new to expand our horizons!
Aahan Panwar
Great place to start or continue your music journey.Clean and welcoming center. Rooms are big enough for any instrument coaching.Nice and friendly faculty. Justin and Wes are great with schedule and coaching. Wes is friendly, calm and patient with with the kid. No rush at all and he let the kid learn at his own pace.I highly recommend Musicologie and Wes as an instructor.
Micaella Bruton
I studied the violin with Elizabeth Glaiser and it was just an amazing experience all around. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to study violin!I'm an adult learner who hasn't done anything musically for probably over 15 years. I decided to take the plunge, get a violin, and sign up for lessons and I'm so glad we found Musicologie and Elizabeth! She spoke with me about my goals and helped me to figure out exactly what I wanted out of studying an instrument. I also really appreciated how she changed her pace on different topics - if I picked something up quick and felt confident about it we would speed through, but if I was struggling she made sure to take her time and give me different tips and exercises to help me succeed on the particular skill that I was having trouble with.I have seen so much improvement in the relatively short amount of time I've spent with her. I've learned whole songs and we have been able to play duets together and it actually sounds good (which if you play the violin, you know that starting out it's so hard to not sound like a dying cat!). I'm moving internationally and am so sad that my studies with Elizabeth have to come to an end but if I end up back here they'll be my first call!
Ben Cordell
Wes has been great! Theory heavy guitar lessons done remotely is exactly what I was looking for and Wes delivers. I look forward to the weekly learning and am making connections in my playing that were not happening with YouTube videos. Highly recommended!
Katelynn Sandy
We have had a great experience doing piano lessons at Musicologie! The whole team has been really flexible and welcoming. Geoffrey always makes sure the lessons are fun and engaging. Highly recommend!
Mary Minton
We love Ms. Kristin for our son’s drum lessons. He’s been going for almost four years, and I couldn’t ask for anything more. We like so much we’re starting new lessons for another child with Mr. Jeremy for guitar. The flexibility and quick adaptation to COVID was impressive, also.
Jessica Sankal
My daughter has found a wonderful outlet in her guitar lessons with Jeremy. She looks forward to her lesson every week. Jeremy is supportive, dedicated, and great with kids. I'd recommend Musicologie and Jeremy to any child interested in music!
John Poe
Jeremy Singer has been very helpful teaching me how to play bass guitar. I am an older student, yet he has shown very great patience with my difficulty. He has used a variety of teaching techniques, which keeps me motivated and makes me more knowledgeable. My goal was to try the place for a few months and then pick up the rest on the internet, yet here I am still attending after almost a year. I highly recommend Jeremy and Musicologie Anderson.
Sarah Trautmann
My 8 year old son has been taking piano classes with Jeremy for about a year. I'm so impressed with the progress he has made! It's been fun for our whole family to hear him practice weekly and learn more difficult songs. Most importantly, it helps teach him how to be persistent and keep trying at a song even when it's tricky at first. The smile on his face when he finally gets it is priceless!! He adds that he thinks "Mr. Jeremy is a REALLY good piano player."
Sarah Braukman
Our daughter started piano lessons during the pandemic and we have been excited to watch her progress under the direction of her teacher, Kristin. I have really appreciated that the lesson speed has been tailored to meet our daughters needs and she has been able to move at a faster pace in response to her learning and dedication.
Theresa Bosse
I cannot say enough great things about our experience with Kristin. She is not only warm and good-natured but also has a clear passion for music and teaching. My child has been easily frustrated and has become anxious with music lessons in the past. Kristin has turned that around. When Kristin recognizes these emotions, she expertly helps my child through them and keeps her feeling capable and confident as she’s progressing. I couldn’t ask for a better teacher for my daughter.
Ann Davies Hall
Mr. Bryson has been absolutely wonderful for our son with piano lessons. He is encouraging a love of music and discipline of practice. He is communicative and flexible with lessons. Our son looks forward to his lesson every week with Mr. Bryson!
Kate Reing
Our kids have loved their piano lessons with Mr. Bryson over the past year. He is so great with young learners and has really fostered their interest in learning how to play piano. It has been exciting to see the progress they have made.
vanessa spring
My daughter started vocal lessons with Bryson and absolutely loves it. The staff is very friendly and inviting.
Erica Arszman
We have been taking lessons for over a year now and we love it! My son is learning so much and the teachers are very good at communication and accommodating needs for their students.
Matt Ward
My son first took piano lessons here for one year with Eric who was awesome but now he is taking guitar with Doug who is also awesome. They get kids which is important to me because I didn't want learned music to seem too much like additional 'school' to him. They have been great in making it fun, engaging and my son is truly progressing in his musical abilities.
Zach Hargis
Selecting an appointment time and creating an account was very easy and convenient, with plenty of times available. The instructor (Stuart) was extremely knowledgeable and efficient in our lesson. Overall, I walked away with a lot of actionable and useful training moving forward.
Claudia Phan
Musicologie Dublin is a very professional place while always been very comforting. My first week here I felt at home and the teachers are absolutely incredible and all very musically talented like no other. Best place I’ve even been!
Jennifer Chung
We have attended lessons at Musicologie Dublin for over a year and have had a wonderful experience. Musicologie Junior was lots of fun for our younger child and our piano lessons, both in person and through Zoom, have been great. Our teacher is very patient and professional and has a fantastic rapport with her students!
Simon Repton
I've had a wonderful experience with Musicologie and especially from my vocal tutor Regan. The lessons are both fun and educational. I've progressed further than I could ever have imagined thanks to Regans nurturing.
Elaine Messina
My son has been taking piano lessons for over a year and has developed a love for the piano. Matt is a great teacher who is very patient with him and really makes him want to do better and learn more. Our experience has been great and I would highly recommend Musicologie!
Billy Peake
My daughter and son take virtual piano and drum lessons from Regan and Matt, respectively. The curriculum is laid back and fun. The kids are comprehending a ton during the short lessons, and both teachers are really kind and patient. They really understand how to connect with and motivate the kids. Good stuff all around.
Allison Vasileff
My 8 year old has been taking piano lessons over the last couple of years and it has been so much fun watching her improve and soar with Musicologie! They have the right balance of keeping things fun and fresh at this age, but also teaching the fundamentals of music. Well done!
Kaya Pierce
Our teacher is knowledgeable and enthusiastic, my children enjoy taking lessons with him.
Shannon Daly
I've been taking piano lessons at Musicologie for about a year and a half, and it's been a great experience! As much as I miss the in person interaction, Zoom lessons have been seamless. Highly recommend for any adults looking to pick up a new skill!
Tracy From Chicago
My teacher, Regan is very knowledgeable and very patient. She adjusts our sessions to my skill level and my lessons have expanded far beyond what is covered in the music book. I'm enjoying learning totally new things and improving my skills.
Rachelle Dicus
Regan has been perfect for my daughter’s piano and voice lessons! My daughter looks forward to her lessons every week! Thank you!
Leigh Fullenkamp
My 8 year-old son has been taking piano lessons at Musicologie for almost a year and we are very happy. His teacher is positive, energetic and tailors the lesson to how he learns best.I also get quick turnaround times on my questions and their app is easy to use. I highly recommend Musicologie to any parent who wants their child to love music.
Andree Klein
My son 5yrs old is taking piano classes. We love Miss Regan, in person or via video conference, she is great in motivating, very patient and flexible. Our younger daughter is going to Musicologie too.
Stephanie Teeter
Our sons began guitar lessons with Mike last week. The enrollment process was extremely easy and the boys loved their instructor. A wonderful place to learn!
Courtney Neckers
My 9 year old daughter has been taking piano lessons with Matt P for a little over a year now, and we’ve been so happy with her development. She initially wasn’t thrilled with the idea, but after the first lesson she loved it. The teachers make lessons fun, and my daughter loves to play the piano now! Her favorite is playing for friends and family when they come. I hope she’ll continue her love of music, and Musicologie has definitely helped her start off on the right note.

My daughter has taken ukulele, singing, and few clarinet lessons over the last 4 years. Really appreciate how they work with our goals - for her to have fun with music or maybe working on piece for school. She started taking lessons at 7 yo. Current teacher is Meghan my daughter says she is nice and kind. She is considerate of what she wants to sing while still learning new things.
Emily Gephart
My daughters have had a wonderful experience taking piano lessons at Musicologie. We weren't sure how it would go because they began virtual lessons early in the pandemic, but our experience has far surpassed any expectations! They always look forward to their lessons and have progressed exceptionally well - much thanks to their friendly, knowledgeable, talented, and attentive teacher, Matt Patti. We wholeheartedly recommend Musicologie and Matt!
Fran Laube
I've been taking voice lessons with Matt for almost a year and with each lesson I've learned something new. Matt brings his full expertise to every class and provides feedback and techniques that have made me a more skilled and confident singer. Even switching to virtual lessons I felt like we didn't miss a beat.
Bailey Tackett
I’ve worked with two of their vocal coaches, Liz, and primarily Matt, and I’ve never been more pleased with just the overall understanding and treatment of the professionals that work at Musicologie. Coming close to a full year of monthly memberships and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. They truly are just the best coaches I could have asked for.
Eva Arango
My son has been going here over a year now. He is getting really good and is comfortable playing piano by himself and for the family. He is already beginning to read music. His teacher Matt is so patient and so encouraging. I cannot wait to get my youngest in too!
Ian St. Rich
highly reccomend for anyone looking to start piano lessons or continue their education. custom tailored classes make it easy to decide the path you want your experience to take! thanks patrick for everything!
Janell Rando
Great studio! My 7 yr old son loves his guitar lessons with Wes. Wes is extremely knowledgeable and very good working with kids. Easy communication and scheduling. Highly recommend Wes at Musicologie-Lewis Center.
Megan Clipp
Our daughter has been studying piano and voice with Megan at Musicologie for the past year. We feel so lucky to have found such an amazing studio and teacher. Megan is clearly passionate about music and teaching. She is patient and kind, and does a fantastic job exploring our daughter’s musical interests and challenging her each week. We have seen so much growth not only in her musical skills but in her confidence as well. Lessons are the highlight of our daughter’s week!
Senti Hauck
Liz does a great job keeping piano fun with games. Aurora loves how she is really nice and fun, and is learning lots of new new musical terms and good technical skills with her this year. Keep up the great work!

Cole is the man! Been very enjoyable working with him and the rest of the musicologie staff. Very freindly, and helped my piano playing immensely.
Pablo Contreras
Great lessons. Cole is a excellent teacher!
Mary Fuchs
Ms. Renee is awesome! She is so patient with my daughter and she really works to find music that she enjoys. Plus, she keeps at it until the arrangement fits my daughter. Her praise and constructive comments have really boosted my daughter's confidence and strengthened her love of music.🎶
Amber Raffeld
Our daughter loves her voice lessons. Megan is a wonderful teacher and makes music exciting and fun to learn!!
Jon Crawford
We have been taking drum lessons here for over a year now and have always been impressed with the talent of the teachers (who are active musicians) and their patience and positive approach to teaching.They have been more than accommodating during this period of COVID-19 and the quality of instruction remains just as high.Your child will be sure to enjoy their time here while they grow their musical talents!
Luka Bastin Howes
Absolutely amazing, the studio feels very professional and the teachers are all great 🙂
Eleana Drakatos
Our piano lessons with Megan have been wonderful. Megan is a great communicator with my 7-year old daughter, who looks forward to her lessons and to practicing piano. I highly recommend Musicologie and Megan. They have enhanced our educational world, and kept us engaged during the pandemic. We did not miss a beat. Our lessons continued via Zoom and our progress has been great.
Matthew Thiedt
Brought my 9 year old child here for Drum lessons and he really enjoyed the experience. They were great working with someone his age and helping him get into the instrument. Very highly recommended for anyone interested in learning an instrument.
Kristin Young
We currently have our two children enrolled with Ahmad at the Lewis Center location. Justin has been really great to work with. We instantly felt welcome. I am really pleased with the quality of the lessons. My son Evan is learning how to play trumpet and Ahmad is very patient with him, even on days where focusing can be hard. Norah tried violin but then wanted to switch to piano. Musicologie made it very simple for them to explore different instruments with their membership. Ahmad was very eager to introduce piano to her and she enjoyed his enthusiasm and patience. Ahmad is great at communicating with us and very understanding when we need to reschedule. He is very accommodating for makeup lessons as well. Truthfully, I am very happy that we were paired up with Ahmad. He is a great teacher, very patient with the kids, very enthusiastic and encouraging and it has been an extreme joy to work with him. We look forward to working with him for a long time:)
Ram Telikicherla
Justin Swain is the best when it comes to taking lessons and giving valuable feedback.
Beth Kozlowski
We've been very impressed with Musicology. The availability of online lessons allowed us the flexibility we needed to be able to get our daughter started with lessons even during quarantine. Megan has been great at keeping our daughter engaged and excited to learn!
Denise Vogt
Our eleven year old daughter is beginning her fifth year of piano lessons with Megan & we can’t say enough wonderful things about her & the Musicologie program. Megan loves the piano & you can see her passion in the way she teaches. Our daughter has had highs & lows with lessons (like most kids do) & Megan finds a way to keep her motivated & to help her through when she gets stuck or feels like she can’t progress. Our daughter has grown in confidence in herself & Megan is instilling good work habits, critical thinking & problem solving skills that will be valuable to our daughter beyond learning an instrument. Did I mention there was a Halloween recital in full costume last year?When the pandemic hit, the Musicologie program was up with Zoom classes with lightning speed. This clearly shows the dedication of this program to keep their musicians going & to teach resilience. The rest of the world came to a stop, but our daughter kept right on playing.You can see the love of music in all of the the teachers & it’s a vibrant music school that has this positively infectious feel to it. I know this review might seem over the top, but it’s been a long journey with music lessons that required an amazing teacher that supported us & our daughter. Megan & her teaching staff at Musicologie Dublin have proven themselves worthy of 5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ and then some.
Tracy Najera
We are enjoying the lessons and my daughter is learning so much!
Nataliamk Formen
Musicologie has been great! Once COVID hit they began offering virtual lessons, which has been a wonderful option for us! The teacher we have (Renee) is amazing and does so well with our 5 year old!
Tony Cavallario
Megan is a fantastic piano teacher and runs a terrific studio. Flexibility with scheduling. Low-pressure and fun performance opportunities that still provide plenty of motivation. Anyone from little kids to adults are a good fit here.
Julie Kessler
I really like my lessons with Renee! She helps me feel more confident with my voice is an overall amazing teacher! - Ella -Working with Renee has been fantastic! She is a kind, engaging & encouraging teacher who has responded promptly to any questions we have had and has been consistently thoughtful & accommodating when we’ve needed to re-schedule. We highly recommend Musicologie !
Tansel Yilmazer
My daughter has been Megan's student for over a year now. Our six year old looks forward to her classes with Megan every Saturday. Megan is patient and caring to her students. The switch to online piano classes during Covid was straightforward. I highly recommend Megan and Musicologie!
A Google User
Renee is a wonderful voice teacher and a kind and enthusiastic person! My daughter has improved so much during her time with her and is really enjoying her lessons.
Evan Lewellen
Studying music at Musicologie with Renee has been an extraordinary experience for me. After listening to my wants and needs as a singer, the community managers at the school expertly recommended I work with Renee. I came to Renee with vocal issues, pain and discomfort that had been developed over years of bad muscle memory and habits while singing. Renee worked with me, quickly realizing what the problems were in my technique, and in just a few short months had me singing without the pain that had plagued me before. Now, after one year of working one-on-one with Renee, I am a much more confident singer both technically and stylistically. I do not regret my decision to seek out training with Renee or Musicologie, and recommend the same to anyone!
Danielle Pietrowicz
Have nothing but positive things to say about Musicologie! Everyone there is extremely welcoming and encouraging. They put me with a great teacher and I have really enjoyed learning to play an instrument as an adult.
Michele Faehnle
My daughter has loved taking lessons at Musicologie! Megan has been amazing for both voice and piano. Even during COVID-19 she has kept music alive in our home via Zoom!
Stephen Smith
Our daughter's guitar teacher, Nick Terelle, does a great job giving her detailed feedback while keeping her upbeat and interested in learning. Musicologie has been a great fit for our family, and we are grateful!
Stacy Racer
I have been extremely happy with my experience at Musicologie especially as an adult trying to pick up a new instrument for fun. Justin is so patient, makes the lessons enjoyable, and is always willing to work with me and my crazy schedule.It’s never too late to try something new, and Justin reminds me of that every week!
Jayden Nguyen
wes is a great teacher. wouldn't recommend anyone else. he's peak music teacher
Timothy Overly
Teachers here are great. Nick really goes the extra mile with my guitar lessons helping me with custom content.
Deipanjan Nandi
Our daughter has been taking piano lessons from Patrick for over a year, both in person, and online. He has been a great, enthusiastic teacher, helping her progress from piano basics, to independent songs. He always has words (and stickers) of encouragement as well as an eye to detail and improvement as she progresses. The welcoming no-pressure atmosphere of the recitals, showcasing students and teachers, different instruments and vocals is also a great way to inspire and interest students too. We love it!
Catherine Rutter
Teachers are patient and kind and work at an appropriate pace for your child. We've had a great experience with Musicologie.
Cynthia Vaughn
I absolutely LOVE Musicologie Dublin and Grandview! Patrick and Matt are amazingly talented artists and are also patient , kind and enthusiastic teachers. If you are an adult looking to expand your musical horizons, I highly recommend you sign up for lessons. It's an investment in yourself that will last a lifetime.
douglas roginson
Our children have been learning guitar and drums at musicologie for almost 2 years. Teachers Nick - (guitar) and Matt (drums) are outstanding teachers. Our children are learning so much, and having a lot of fun during the process
Orin Hemminger
Musicologie has been great, and they did a good job with the transition to virtual lessons since Covid. Nick has been a great instructor.
Danna Gao
I am an adult student and I’ve been taking vocal and piano lessons for almost 3 years now with Liz, and it has been great! Liz is very knowledgable and she tailors the lesson based on my progress so that I can continue to get better without any frustration, but still provides enough challenges needed to facilitate improvement. I truly enjoyed every class and look forward to more in the future. I’ve met some other staff during the spring and winter concert and they are all very nice and encouraging for students! I’m glad that I’ve joined the school and would recommend it to anyone who’s thinking about starting a journey in music!
Jared Harston
I have studied various aspects of music my whole life and the piano instruction I have received from Liz has been the most productive and insightful experience I have ever been exposed to. She is a true professional. I am so pleased with Musicologie.
Vanessa Vongkulluksn
My daughter loves learning piano with Patrick. He is patient and also introduces music she wants to learn how to play.
Jason
I've been enjoying my guitar lessons at Musicologie for over a year now. Nick is a great teacher and I think students of any age or experience level will like it here.
Meghan Nolan
Nick has made the transition from live to virtual lessons seamless. Our 6 year old is engaged and learning!
Meghan Brickner
I’ve been taking guitar lessons with Nick for 8 months now. He has been a wonderful teacher and I’ve really learned a lot from him! Highly recommend!
Tara Shull
Both my sons and I are taking piano lessons with Jeanmarie Strawbridge for about a year now. I'm amazed by how much we learn. Our instructor is amazing!!!
Chris Stanley
Excellent value. Nick Terelle is awesome and makes learning fun. I am taking guitar lessons with Nick and highly recommend. All Musicologie staff has been great too.
Jordan Rush
I have been taking voice lessons at Musicologie in Dublin since the start of 2020 and absolutely love it! I have taken private voice lessons in the past, but have really enjoyed my experiences at Musicologie. My instructor has helped me build strength and confidence in my voice while allowing me to explore the different styles of my voice and music. I definitely recommend this program to anyone who wants to try something new or wants to strengthen their talents!
Poorval Ghate
We started with the online classes and its been a good experience. Our teacher is very patient and helps the kids with any difficulties or issues with communication. Classes are quite interactive and fun. We always receive a communication of what was done in the class and what kids need to practice through the week.
Joe Mathew
My son has been learning the guitar at Musicologie Lewis Center since last year, and he has made tremendous progress in the past year, all thanks to his instructor Wes and the culture at Musicologie. Wes sets the pace according to my son's focus and ability, and is constantly encouraging and motivating. Were it not for Wes' technical depth and love for teaching, I don't think my son would be at the level that he is at. I would also like to mention the manager/owner, Justin, who is a consummate professional and has created a warm and friendly place of business.
Anna Beversdorf
We can't be happier with Musicologie! Bryson is unbelievable with our 6 year old son who is Autistic. He looks forward to paino lessons every week. Very professional, great communication, very helpful, awesome energy, so happy with our choice!
Francesca Carpino
Our kids have been at Musicologie in Dublin for a year and they love it! Patrick Schaefer is their piano teacher and he is doing an amazing job. He is very patient, makes lessons fun, and he caters to their needs and music interests. I highly recommend this place.
Angie Street
Our son takes drumming from Wesley and we are so glad we found him! We are dealing with ASD and other co conditions that often come as obstacles for a teacher, but Wesley didn't miss a beat! (Pun intended) He has jumped right in and helped us get the full experience while providing tremendous patience, kindness, and guidance. Wesley is THE BEST!
Jane Preston
Wesley is the best! My Husband Tom is very hard of hearing so communicating can be difficult, but Wesley is a very patient and kind person. Because of Misicologie and Wesley, Tom is loving the drums and has found a new, exciting and fun interest!
Darín Meraz
I started voice lessons in February after years of feeling self-conscious about my singing and having very little musical background. Justin was wonderful and made me feel comfortable during my assessment. I've learned so much about the voice and music in general. Now, I have fun singing, look forward to my weekly lessons, and have grown in my confidence to perform. The studio is very welcoming, and they were quick to adapt to social distancing measures by offering online lessons and following recommendations for a safe return to in-person lessons. I've referred friends and highly recommend Musicologie to anyone interested.
Connie Allen
Hannah Bullock is my son's piano teacher, and she is great. My son says, "I really like her style of teaching". She is patient, and thorough. She communicates her instructions very well, even over a Zoom lesson!

I have been taking weekly lessons since September of 2019 at Musicologie Lewis Center. The facility is very nice, with good sized rooms and easy parking, and Justin has been all I could ask for in an owner/manager. Managing lesson schedules is easy using the Musicologie app. The rates are fair, with a good makeup policy, and my instruction has been outstanding.I have been studying old-time fiddle with Abby Wagner, which has included technique, music theory, and discussion on history, ethnomusicology, as well social topics. Abby seems ready to explore any facet of traditional fiddle music that I have been interested in pursuing. My experience has far surpassed any expectations of a typical instrument lesson.Musicologie was quick to adopt remote learning technologies with the onset of VOVID-19, and now offers both mindful in person learning in addition to virtual instruction. Both Musicologie and Abby Wagner come highly recommend.
David Torres
I've been working with Justin on and off for about 2 years now. He's a great teacher and has gone above and beyond to help me with my voice! I came to him with practically no experience and through his aid I've made great progress on my vocal technique and tone. Not only does he have expansive musical knowledge but his professional, patient personality really makes me feel comfortable during lessons. Not to mention his warmth and friendly demeanor has helped bolster my confidence which in turn motivates me to keep practicing. On top of all the one on one lessons with Justin, Musicologie provides many different opportunities and workshops that foster a great learning environment. I would definitely recommend choosing Musicologie Lewis Center to anyone looking to improve their voice or any other musical endeavor.
José Duran
I have been working with Justin almost 3 years and it has been nothing short of life changing! Growing up in a musically inclined family singing and playing piano, I had gotten away from roots the past ten years. Starting back up in my late 20s, Justin has not only improved my skills as a singer and pianist, more importantly he has helped me develop a love and confidence for something that is very important to my health and well being. Whether you are looking for something serious or fun, I highly recommend that you begin (or continue) your music journey with one of Musicologie's teachers!
Gracy Frea
I take voice and piano with Hannah and she’s awesome! She is very specific with instruction and I can see a huge difference in my performance!
Jared Young
I love working with Justin. He's been great about helping me reach my goals and even expand them. He's honest and provides great critical feedback. He's provided flexible times, sometimes even free lessons, and the space is clean, cheerful, open and inviting. I love it.
Luke DeLong
I've been taking lessons here for over year. After trying many other studios, I fell in love with the impact this studio has with their teaching methods. I not only learn how and what to do but also why it's important and the research behind the decisions. And then when you throw on all the additional events that are hosted by the center on top of their awesome lessons and instructors, this studio is leagues ahead of its competitors.
Laney Walden
I wasn’t very happy at my last music studio because I felt my instructor was very inflexible with their skills and wouldn’t let me dive into other interests. My experience here at Musicologie couldn’t be different! I have the most supportive and hardworking vocal coach that insures a positive experience for me. He’s always on time to lessons, very responsive to all concerns or questions, and flexible with all my other endeavors! They’re so welcoming in Lewis center and are constantly holding events to make the studio feel like a family. Would totally recommend to any beginner or professional who wants to feel like a team with their vocal or instrument coach!
Annie Song
Musicologie Lewis Center is the perfect place to learn music! The teachers there are each warm, patient and kind. They are also diverse in professional experiences and music styles to fit any student's music level and interest. From taking voice lessons there with Justin, I learned so much more than I had on my own just using youtube videos. The genuine care with pinpointed feedback really helped me to adjust my singing to be healthier and more powerful when I used to be self conscious of how I sang. The teachers there really believe in their students. At the student concerts, I could tell all the other students, from young to old, really enjoyed and loved learning there. They also provide online as well as in-person lesson options too so it's pretty convenient. You won't find another organization with such strong foundations in growing a life-long love for music!
Destiny Coleman
Great instructors and the group classes led by Justin and Hannah are incredibly beneficial. They even provide Musicologie Junior and other outreach programs to underserved communities throughout central Ohio. They are so helpful and care about every single one of their students. Go to Musicologie! You won’t be sorry!
Nathan Cronheim-Strasser
BEST LESSONS EVER!! 10/10 would recommend! Was so self conscious about my voice, instructors are so supportive and personable and FUNNY!! Got to sing a wide variety of rep and a lots of performing opportunities. You can do how ever much you are comfortable with! Was soo lucky to find this place.
Marie Hamaker
I am so happy my daughter asked to take guitar lessons at Anderson Music workshop 4.5 years ago. She has loved her lessons with "Mr. Jeremy" and has learned so much! We feel we have a rock star in the house she plays so we'll. Now her sister is learning piano as well and my house is filled with music. Since March they have been taking all their lessons through zoom and Jeremy is wonderfully punctual and prepared and emails me new music to print out. So awesome, highly recommend.
Marisa Martin
Just really good people all around. Everyone is friendly and welcoming, clearly passionate about teaching music and making it fun!
Justin Swain
Excellent, well-qualified instructors, in a professional and inviting atmosphere! I highly recommend if you're looking for music lessons in the Shaker Heights area, that you check this place out.
Kay Barker
Great teachers!
Rob Wood
We are having a great experience with Musicologie. All the instructors we have had have been intuitive, passionate about both music, and teaching and really connect with our daughters. We have seen such growth in both their abilities, and their love for their instruments. This is an exceptional place. Highly recommended.
Himanshu Mishra
Where do I begin! A big shout out to Wesley and Justin for making my musical journey so smooth and wonderful.They have worked patiently and motivated me to go out of my comfort zone and achieve the milestones that never seemed like an option. Looking forward to achieve more!
Jeffrey Book
Justin is not only a vocal performance expert and brilliant business person, he's also a spectacular friend. The resources at Musicologie have helped me refine my vocal technique, write an album, and even put me in contact with a studio to record an album. I can't recommend Musicologie Lewis Center enough.
Preethi Raghuraman
I have been taking Voice lessons with Justin for about 1.5years now. He is one of the most amazing teachers in terms of technique, music knowledge, communication and personality! I absolutely love taking lessons with him and being part of the Musicologie family. He is kind, understanding, creative and makes sure that each of his students get to where they want to be. I am really glad to have the opportunity to learn with him!!
Prashast Mishra
The teachers are very nice and they create a nice environment for kiddos to enjoy and learn
Joseph Angelo
Annie
I wanted a place where my kiddo could gain skills, explore new techniques, learn how to take care of her voice, and boost her confidence. Musicologie Dublin does that in spades. My kiddo was starting to get involved in community theater and she wanted to get more vocal training. I love that they are all actively practicing their craft outside of teaching. We've only had first hand experience taking lessons from Cassie (who's fantastic) but I would confidently recommend every teacher I've met. This has quickly become my kiddo's favorite event of the week.
Anne Worth
I have taken voice lessons with Megan Callison for the last year and she is phenomenal! She does a great job of teaching the technical aspects of voice while letting me dive in to different styles of music, especially my favorite folk and acoustic songs. I can't recommend her highly enough! Also, the environment at Musicologie is very positive and encouraging, I finally enjoy performing in "recitals" and open mic nights. Their app also makes it really easy to cancel and reschedule appointments when necessary. Only wish I had started taking lessons here sooner.
Kate Oakes
We have had a great experience in the last year and a half at musicologie. My daughter’s violin teachers have been fantastic and easy to work with. The musicologie app is easy to use when needed and the community manager is very responsive and helpful!
L Dorsey
Jane Lee
Justin and the staff at Musicologie Lewis Center are always professional and attentive. Justin in particular has been the perfect piano teacher for our six-year-old boys, who generally have a harder time warming up to a new teacher. Justin is thoughtful, patient and fun. He understands how to balance learning with just the right amount of entertainment for our kids, and they love going to their piano lessons. They don't even mind having to practice at home. We are really thankful to Justin and Musicologie for making learning music such an enjoyable process for our family.
Katie Yahn
Liz is amazing! We had a wonderful experience!
Robert Patton
I started taking voice lessons two years ago with Justin and ended up following him to Musicologie a while back, and since then to Lewis Center. I've also done a bit of voice with Regan, and have only praise for both teachers! "Knowledgeable" is the name of the game. Justin has a very scientific, researched approach which I personally like, and which I can only imagine has been a big factor in my improvement!
Samuel Page
Facility is wonderful, always clean and has plenty of rooms for lessons/practice with plenty of amenities, musically speaking (instruments, music, etc) as well as non musically (free book exchange, water, tea, etc). My only experience with a staff member is Justin Swain but WOW he is perfection as a voice teacher. If I had been asked what all I want and need in a voice teacher and was given just that, it would be Justin. If I was that lucky. He has excellent positive energy, super knowledgeable and a good judge of what is needed for a student at any given time. Would recommend him and Musicologie to anyone, 10/10 with no hesitation!

Lauren D'Souza
Justin is the best! I started taking lessons from him as an adult student who had built up decades of bad habits, which meant that our first few months together focused on rebuilding my vocal technique from the ground up. Justin definitely knows his stuff and helped me re-engineer my voice so that I could sing with confidence (and without pain), something I hadn't been able to do in years. Not only is he a phenomenal instructor, but he's also a kind and empathetic individual whom I'm proud to call my friend. I'd gladly recommend him to anyone, of any age, who is looking to take their singing to the next level!
MJ Music.
Justin is THE BEST! He listens to what you want to sing, and works with you to find arrangements that will work. He takes popular songs (Billie wiling, for example) and uses them to get you exited about learning new techniques. Yes, he does like show tunes, but you can’t not find that in a vocal teacher(he chooses songs that you like anyways, so... yeah) He’s fun an pushes you to do things you uncomfortable with (I.e. performing in front of a crud ton of people) and makes sure you’re ready to do it. I could ramble on and on about how awesome he is but I’ll stop here.
E.Diann Patterson
My son won his first talent show! And has been invited to sing at another show. Thank you Justin!! With each lesson Napoleon is growing more confident in his voice!
Ed Spahr
Justin and the staff are really top notch. Great place for lessons and improving your skills. If your taking lessons elsewhere, stop wasting your money and book here now!
Greg Sigley
I have been taking vocal lessons at Musicologie for about 1 1/2 years and Justin has been phenomenal. He has the education, background, and attitude to get you to where you want to be as a singer. He will challenge you and teach you things you didn’t even know about. The facility is open and very inviting. I highly recommend studying here!
Lucy Gobble
My daughter asked for a violin for Christmas. After nearly a year of having it and continuous begging, we signed her up for string lessons. It was easy to sign-up, easy to schedule, and when her first instructor left, easy to transition to a new instructor. We loved our time; however, the interest is waning and our schedule of activities is ramping up so we are taking a pause. I would highly recommend this location (parking stinks, but it's Grandview) and the instructors.
Allison Fagan
I am an adult student returning to piano after years away. Although exterior of studio has a flavor of being child oriented, once at the piano with my teacher all of that fades away. My teacher, Thomas Crouch, is infectious in his enthusiasm for classical music, and always prepared for how he is going to help me get to the next step, be it with technique, theory, or the piece we are working on.
rebecca carl
As an adult learner (and completely new to the piano) Justin has been amazing at helping me learn the ropes of the instrument and even how to read music in general. He has gone above and beyond in not only instruction but materials as well. The extra handouts, and study material has been invaluable to my learning experience. He never makes you feel bad about missing a note or having to start your piece over and over again. He truly is extremely knowledgeable about the piano. I've never asked a question her couldn't answer and his determination to make sure you truly understand the material is phenomenal. His desire to keep you growing and learning is remarkable. Every week I achieve something new that the previous week seemed impossible. The goals that we set each week are challenging yet obtainable with practice. Plus his true dedication is answering phone calls, emails or even texts when you're stuck and cant seem to move on. I look forward to what I get to learn each week and wont be stopping my lessons any time soon!
Sangeetha Venkatraman
My daughter just started her guitar lessons at the westerville center. She has been playing for over 2 years, so she is not new to the instrument. However I see her grow every week from new skills to really mastering existing ones. Thanks Andrew and musicology.
Kathy
Mr.Justin is a super great teacher. He is professional, experienced and really special in teaching. My daughter likes him very much!! Every lesson we can feel his passion and enthusiasm in music. He is careful and patient with every student in teaching. We are so lucky to be with Mr. Justin!!!! My daughter has learned more with super Justin!!:))

Patrick S. is an amazing piano instructor and person! We can't say enough good things about him. He is pitch perfect in his challenging of rigor and technique in the context of humor and encouragement. We are completely happy with our experience at Musicologie Dublin.

Wonderful teachers who really care about their students! We love it here.

Love our Fantastic teacher Justin Swain! He is full of passion when teaching, professional, and experienced. My daughter likes Mr. Justin so much! Should meet him earlier:)
