Mr Jim and his staff are the most talented, kind, wonderful people! My son has been taking lessons for over 2 years. Their teaching styles make picking up an instrument or voice lessons easy. Best investment. All I can say is if you want to learn anything musical this is the school to be in.

This place rocks! No, literally! I have 3 kids who have been growing with Gulf Coast School of Music for the past 4 years. My now college student started playing piano in 2020 and now plays 4 instruments and sings! He is now beginning his journey towards writing his own music. This place and these people have all grown to be a home away from home and a part of the family. The best parts of our weeks are spent here and we wouldn't change it for anything! ♥️

Phenomenal instructions for adults and children. The vast array of knowledge that is shared from this group is life changing for musicians of any level.

My son and I have been learning from Jim brown for the past 4-5 months. Jim has made it so much fun for my son that he has started to tell me that he wishes it wasn’t only once a week. My son is a hard sell on most things and this is a testament to how great Jim is with him and how he makes learning fun. Thanks so much for all you time Jim

We have been to our share of music instruction places as well as in-home teaching… Well, we gotta say- Jim Brown’s Gulf Coast School of Music on 9th and Desoto is amazing! My sons first words after their lessons with Robert (guitar) and Destiny (voice&piano) were “When can we come back!?” They teach the kids using songs they like and WANT to learn, while also covering the basics of music instruction! Great knowledge & customer service as well!
