Musical Instruments & Teachers in Austin picked by BestProsInTown
“This is hands-down the place to go if you need anything drum-related. These gentlemen spent more than an hour repairing or replacing my ten-year old's drum set. They patiently and with kindness spent time with my son explaining what they needed to do, and why. They did not try to upsell me. The price is right, and the service spectacular. This is a true Austin treasure. We will be back.”
“Musicology in Lakeway is such a great music school. The space is beautiful, the owners are incredibly nice, and the teachers are knowledgeable, friendly, and great to work with. Highly recommend!”
“Orpheus is a hidden gem in Austin. They have great teachers that help your kids to learn the techniques. They also have well organized recitals that helped my kid to develop confidence onstage. However, what set them apart from ordinary music education is their focus on creativity and musicianship led by the founder Klondike. I was surprised (in a good way) by the music pieces created by the kids that were barely 10 years old, and the way they talked about how they wrote the music, how they collaborated and what they were trying to express. I am not sure if my kid will be professional musician (nor I had any expectation), but the holistic understanding of music would definitely be with her for the rest of her life. For that I am not taking for granted.”
“My daughter and I absolutely love coming here for music classes in Spanish! These classes are highly engaging, calming, fun and developmentally appropriate. Jessy is such a great teacher and you can truly tell how much love she has for music and kids! I wish there was something like this in California! We love Mi Casa Es Tu Casa.”
“Great place. Angel is such an incredible teacher. Skilled in a wide range of mediums and a true beacon for confidence building. Highly recommend!”
“Amazing staff, teachers that are supportive of your growth path and goals. I have found a lot of opportunities to learn and grow here. A great please to learn as an adult. I really love their Friday open mic nights. I also find my lesson completely relaxes me and inspires me to practice and play more.”
“School is very good! Our drumming teacher Timur is amazing! He is calm, patient to his student. My son really enjoy his progress after each lesson.. highly recommend!”
“My son thrived in this academy's encouragement and teachings; especially being part of the Spring recital. His teacher, Celine gave him practice homework and they worked on a plan together to accomplish preset goals. Highly recommend this academy.”
“The highlight of my week, a mere review can't reflect how happy I am to work with him. More than a speech pathologist, he truly cares about his clients. My polyp has improved in a short time and will only accelerate as I commit to vocal hygiene and his exercises. His commitment to zen and positive, appreciative energy is what I need when facing something as crappy as a polyp. I can't wait to heal so we can push my vocal boundaries even further.”
“Amazing place to learn guitar. Patrick is fantastic balancing theory and tactical into every lesson. Sam is fantastic and keep the place running smoothly. I leave inspired and eager to push forward after each lesson. I feel accepted and as an adult late to guitar student I feel welcomed. I have learned so much and I am eager to learn so much more in coming years.”
“My kids have been students at Blue Frog for two years now. They have enjoyed learning piano, singing, and performing in recitals. Their teachers have helped craft lessons that excited the kids. I hope to continue their education here for years to come!”
“Warm facility with timeless charm and understated class. Musical instruction is truly expert, delivered from lifelong musicians who do it for the right reasons. Students receive genuine encouragement and, in our family’s case, feel motivated to emulate their outstanding teacher.”
“Very fun place making it engaging to learn music for kids! Danielle Spencer has been teaching my daughter vocal lessons for a couple of years now and her skills have vastly improved!”
“Mindy makes learning piano so much more fun than attempting to learn at home by myself. The tiered approach to learning at your skill level while also hearing others play at their respective skill level makes for interesting listening. She breaks down complex parts (for a beginner like me) into understandable bits. She offers individual lessons during summer and full 8 week courses the other times of the year, allowing for actual structure to my learning that still works with my schedule. I can’t recommend her lessons enough.”
“We’ve been attending Music Together since our daughter was 6 months old (in CA), and then kept going with Heartsong when we moved to Austin. Love the focus on musical exploration for young children - which means alot of play and running around and general exuberance - that is not frowned upon; and appreciate the play space before and after at the studio that allows community development. Things we love since she’s been in these classes - she has rhythm, is interested in music generally and enjoys tinkering with instruments (and neither parent is musically inclined). I’d highly recommend these classes!”
“Nathan Allen was and is such a kind soul. We have been back and forth for MONTHS about wanting to take piano and changing things around to make the schedule work for us. He communicates so well and is such a professional. Its so amazing to watch someone who truly loves what he does TEACH it. Noah S is so wonderful and shows a true passion and love for the Piano. My kids (6 & 8 ) get so excited for piano days because they love getting to work with Noah. That brings so much joy to my heart. THANK YOU!!!”
“It was a fantastic learning experience. I already had some knowledge about the industry and how to run Ableton but with my facilitator and mentor I learned even more. I recommend this program to every artist out there.”
