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.

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.

I started taking voice lessons nearly two years ago with Justin and ended up following him to Musicologie a while back. 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!

I am taking beginner piano lessons with Justin Swain. His lessons are always fun yet professional and well adapted to my learning pace and style. I can only afford the 30-minute weekly lesson plan but Justin manages to leverage this short amount of time well and I feel like I am rapidly growing as a musician. The Musicologie app/website also allows you to conveniently schedule and cancel lessons, or set up open play sessions where you can come into the studio and freely practice on their instruments without an instructor (free for students).

I've been studying voice with Justin Swain for 2 years now. He's approached my unique limitations and capabilities without hesitation and has worked diligently with me to refine my voice. He and the rest of the staff are always friendly and helpful. The school provides multiple opportunities for performance and exploration through the year. I've been thoroughly happy and grateful to have found this school and heartily recommend it.

My daughter is taking voice and piano lessons with Justin Swain at Musicologie studio. We have a great experience. Justin is very professional, informational, and talented teacher. In a short period of time he managed to deliver fantastic results and at the same time our daughter is really enjoying her piano and voice lessons. I would highly recommended Justin and studio to anyone.

Musicologie, and more specifically my teacher Megan Rainey, are simply amazing! I'm an adult who came in to improve my singing for the sole purpose of killing it at karaoke, but I've stuck around for years to improve more, learn more, move into learning songwriting and even learning to play the keyboard. Every class is a blast! They've even helped me out with special projects like recording the instrumental of a cover of a song for me to sing over (a crazy request, I know). They really seem receptive to helping you out in whatever way they can and even have recitals for their adult students which is adorable.If you want to learn more about any area of music, or want to improve the skills you already have, I highly, highly recommend contacting Musicologie!

I have really enjoyed my time here! My teacher is very knowledgeable and always considers my primary goal with music so that I can play in the way that I want to. The studio is awesome and the staff is incredibly helpful and friendly!

My daughter has been taking lessons with her instructor, Devin, for almost five years. Devin is so amazing that she is the reason we came to Musicologie. She has been so instrumental in helping to shape my daughter and her belief in herself as a musician. She is patient, and dedicated to helping her students become the best musician they can be. I cannot say enough about her dedication and commitment. The culmination of their combined efforts came together when they played at the most recent recital together. What a moment. Beautiful, such growth was made and what a talented teacher.

Frequently Asked Questions About Musicologie Grandview
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. It can be a relaxing break from busy life. For young beginners, including infants and toddlers, it's an important component of emotional and mental development. 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.

What Ages Do You Teach?
We teach all ages. We have a toddler group class for ages 0-5 called Musicologie Junior. We start private lessons around 5 and teach lots of adults as well.
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 🙂
