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.

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.

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!

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!!

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.

Josh was so knowledgeable and helped me think about the fretboard in new ways. I will definitely be back for more lessons!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

After years of searching for a teacher who could get me to where I want to be in music I finally found the best teacher Megan! I couldn't be happier with her support, knowledge and patience. I highly recommend this place and will not go anywhere else! Hands down the best place to go if you want to take music lessons.

I started taking lessons at Musicologie two years ago at the Grandview location, and transitioned to the Dublin location recently. I'm an adult student, and picking up music as a new hobby has been amazing! I love my instructor, Megan, and it's a fun, supportive environment to learn. I can't recommend Musicologie highly enough.

The space is still a work-in-progress but Musicologie--and the Dublin Community Manager (who is also teaches my daughters and me)--gets top marks for their methods, flexibility, and fun factor. Highly recommended!

Now a student in Dublin, I was first introduced to Musicologie in Grandview a few years ago and since that time I have had nothing but wonderful experiences with teachers, owners and other students. As a former long-time resident of Dublin I would like to think that I can speak with some authority when I say that Musicologie is a place that the Dublin area and I were both missing all that time.This is somewhere that people of all ages and skill levels can come and feel welcomed. The teachers are all masters of their craft, often found performing around the city. They are great with everyone — kids, adults, beginners and those looking to further themselves.In addition to my regular solo lessons I have participated in several group classes and they have all been great fun. It is inspiring to see diverse groups of people come together and improve from week to week.The owners are enthusiastic and genuinely committed to making the experience worthwhile for every student.The only fault I can give is that they weren’t around in Dublin while I was living within the city!

Coming back to piano lessons after many years, I was thrilled to find Musicologie. The teachers are not only experts in music performance and pedagogy, it’s clear they love what they do, and that passion is contagious. I was looking for a studio that could provide a personalized, challenging, and enjoyable musical learning experience, and Musicologie Dublin has exceeded my expectations.

What is Your Teaching Philosophy?
Music is a critical part of human experience. It enriches everyone's life and can be taught and enjoyed at any age. We believe in nurturing the innate curiosity that everyone in born with, empowering our students to achieve their musical goals. Learning music makes life more enjoyable.

Music is truly for everyone, at every level of playing or singing, and we want to help you make music a deeper part of your life.
What Curriculum Do You Use?
We have two guiding principles: First, you'll stay more engaged by learning music you love. Second, you'll grow faster by using what you've learned in lessons through performing. We'll take traditional method books like Suzuki, Alfred's, Faber, etc., and combine that with contemporary music you're excited about with the goal of performing in one of our ensembles, group classes, or at one of our concerts.
Performing is encouraged as a way to develop your skill, but it's always optional.

Do I Need My Own Instrument?
Not for your first lesson. We have instruments at our studios you can use for the first few lessons. But after that you'll want to get your own instrument for practice at home. Your teacher will help you pick out the right one. We also have open practice hours so you can come in and use instruments and practice rooms at Musicologie during the week.
If you do have your own instrument, you should definitely bring it with you, as long as it's easily portable - leave your piano and drums at home 🙂
