Our certification program is a 5 level program that measures a teacher's education, teaching hours, student retention, commitment to personal development, and community leadership. Teachers are encouraged to mentor each other, learn new skills and curriculum, and attend classes on everything from pedagogy to diversity and inclusion. It's the only program of its kind and truly sets Musicologie teachers apart.

Get started here. A Community Manager will reach out to you and match you with a certified expert teacher based on your goals. You’ll do an initial 30 minute assessment lesson with your teacher to talk about what you want to achieve and make sure it’s a good fit. Then, you’ll sign up for weekly lessons and start practicing!

Yes! The first lesson is called an assessment lesson. It’s $32 and there’s no obligation to sign up for weekly lessons. The assessment lesson is designed for your teacher to get to know you and your goals and recommend curriculum to achieve those goals. It’s also a chance to make sure it’s a good fit. If for any reason you’re not satisfied, we’ll match you with additional teachers for free or refund the assessment fee. We don’t have any sign up or registration fees.

Yes, you'll need an instrument for the lesson and for ongoing practice at home. If you don’t have one, your Community Manager can help you get what you need.

This is a question we get a lot and we’ll be honest with you: learning an instrument takes a lot of time. It is typically a years-long journey. If you want to get better at singing karaoke, we can give you some tips and exercises to help you sound more confident in just a few lessons. If you want to learn Billy Joel songs on the piano, it’ll take much longer. Our most successful students make music a part of their lifestyle. They stay consistent and don’t sweat it if they miss a lesson or are too busy to practice one week. They get back on and keep going. Learning an instrument is a journey. You’ll learn a lot about yourself, and your goals will change as you progress. The important part is to take the first step, and see what’s possible.

The assessment fee is $32. Weekly lessons are between $138 and $274 per month. See pricing details.

Your lessons will be guided by your goals. You'll learn exactly what you need and nothing you don't. For example, if your goal is to sing Tom Petty songs around a campfire, your teacher will skip note reading and theory and go straight for the three chords you need to play any Petty tune. If you want your child to learn how to be a well rounded musical human with all the accompanying developmental benefits, your teacher will use a curriculum like Faber, Bastein or Alfred's and take them through theory, technique and note reading, as well as playing fun songs they'll enjoy. If you're not sure what your goals are yet, or even what instrument to choose - no problem! We'll match you with a teacher of multiple instruments who can take you through different concepts and possibilities, always focusing on music you like.

Our Perfect Match Promise is our guarantee to you that you'll love your teacher, or we'll match you with a new one for free. It means there's no risk to sign up for your first lesson.
