We are SLAMMED for lessons at the 202 Phoenix studio during the week, which is a great problem to have! But, we have a team of teachers committed to top notch teaching of the essential elements of music: fundamentals, practical music theory, and technique, all for the sake of great music, enrolling now for our West side location (at McKenzie Road Baptist Church)—perfect for those in Tumwater, Shelton, and West Olympia!
Piano or guitar with Trent Mondays or Tuesdays!
Trent grew up in a musical household and started piano lessons in the second grade. With the musical knowledge he gained through piano, he also taught himself baritone ukulele, guitar, bass, accordion and drums. Trent holds a B.A. in Music from Lawrence University in Wisconsin and played and toured with several bands before moving to Davis, CA in 2015. Trent has been teaching piano for pretty much the last ten years and moved here about a year ago with his wife and two children. Trent loves teaching with movement and even including chants and other fun things, because it develops inner musicality and encourages creativity and improvisation, both with the voice and at the piano. Trent is a highly capable musician with a diverse musical background, and just a warm and inviting guy/educator.

Piano or Clarinet with Tessa Tuesdays or Thursdays!
Tessa is a student at The Evergreen State College and has been playing piano for 13 years. She enjoys the music of Ravel, Vaughan Williams and Corelli. Her hobbies are reading Greek classics and studying languages, and she hopes to one day be a professor.
Guitar with Braedon Thursdays!
Braedon is a Grays Harbor College Graduate with 9 years of experience playing the guitar. He likes listening to all music, from John Coltrane to Jimi Hendrix. In addition to playing the guitar, he enjoys playing drums and the process of recording/mixing instruments as well. His life goal is to perform, create, and teach music.
Violin or Viola with Kylie Monday-Friday!
Your kids, teens, and you will love Kylie Huss (enrolling now for private lessons in violin and viola) at our West side location! Kylie is an extremely active local musician seen and heard regularly playing with the local orchestra, and with all kinds of different singers, songwriters, and musicians at Rhythms Coffee.
McKenzie Road is a great location for those closer to or on the west side, and it is nice and spacious, and quiet, not nearly as busy as the Phoenix street location—so if you prefer a quieter scene, you will love it! Either way, if you need music lessons and you can’t get in at the Phoenix location, it is worth the drive to have such a great team of committed music educators you and your kids will love!
Don’t miss the amazing benefits of music for your children
So many people think that music is simply about the music. And let’s be real, music is amazing! For many people whose children study music, music becomes a deeply meaningful and significant part of their life, not just for the children but often even for the families. But here’s what a lot of people don’t get, music does so much more for your kids and your family than that! Just recently we were hearing about a student who years and years ago as a small child just began learning with us and like a lot of boys, he was young, had a lot of growing up to do, not real serious about music, and for years struggled to put in the work and struggled to succeed in music and in other areas in life. And now, as a high schooler, he’s found discipline, confidence, leadership abilities, joy and fun, and those things in music of course, but also in life! And we hear stories like this ALL the time! Music is so much more. Got music?
