Briana teaches Suzuki And fiddle. As part of her program she has group classes throughout the year and two performances. I appreciate these extra pieces to her program. It allows the students to perform and build community. She also offers a fiddle club with busking opportunities. Usually the kids get to choose a charity that they want to donate to. Her summer fiddle camp is full of play, crafts and music. Teaching a child to play an instrument can be challenging. Briana is full of energy and encouragement. She's creative and fun and patient. Anyone looking to start their child in music would be lucky to have Briana as their teacher!

We were able to see her other students perform together at her monthly group lesson sessions. We started our daughter at 3yo and Briana has been instructing her using the Suzuki method. At first, it was difficult for her to concentrate, but less than a year later, my daughter is doing quite well and is obviously on her way to being a competent player. Plus, her concentration and accuracy has improved remarkably. Can't wait to jam with my kid! :)

Magnolia Music School has been such a wonderful experience for our family. My 8-year-old daughter…read morehas been taking group ukulele lessons with Sara for the past four months, and the growth we've seen in such a short time has been incredible. Sara is an exceptional teacher -- patient, encouraging, and incredibly skilled at working with kids in a way that builds both confidence and joy. My daughter is now so inspired that she's ready to move into private 1:1 lessons starting January 2026, which says everything about how positive and motivating this experience has been. Magnolia truly feels like a special place. There's a strong sense of community, creativity, and care that comes through in everything they do. We feel very grateful to be part of it and so thankful to have both Sara and Kat in my daughter's life. I'm beyond excited to see how she continues to grow and thrive next year. Highly recommend Magnolia Music School to any family looking for thoughtful, high-quality music education in a warm and supportive environment.

My…read more7-year-old daughter has been taking ukulele lessons with Sara Jayne, and I really can't say enough good things about her. My daughter has tried both the group classes and private lessons, and she absolutely loves them. It's rare to find an activity where she consistently leaves happy and excited for the next one, but that's always the case here. Sara Jayne is fantastic with this age group. She has a great way of keeping the kids' attention and makes the learning process fun while still being structured. She does an excellent job of reviewing past concepts and building new skills on top of them, so the progress feels very solid. If you are looking for a supportive and effective music environment for your child, I highly recommend Magnolia Music School and specifically Sara Jayne!

I took lessons with her for about 10 months and she helped me identify bad habits that I'd formed prior to studying with her. She greatly helped me to only to develop my vocal technique, but also incorporating more acting and expression to my performance. I really admired how well she was able to identify my mistakes and find solutions. She's extremely knowledgeable and performs beautifully, which inspires me to learn and sing more and more. I really enjoyed the repertoire we worked on together. There such a wonderful atmosphere whenever I had my lessons and she's really fun, patient, and easy to talk to. I'm really glad I had to opportunity to work with her.

I've been taking my son for piano lessons with Ms. Litzky for two and a quarter years now. My son…read moreis nearly 10 and enjoys learning with Ariel. She is gentle, yet firm with kids and is kind through and through. What I like is her welcoming nature. Parents may stay during their child's lesson or leave, either way is OK. The one-on-one time is half an hour, and for kids, it is just the right amount of time. Ms. Litzky's students learn at their own pace; she is no drill sergeant! Now that my son is playing more complicated music, he enjoys it more and more, now that he has an excellent foundation to build upon. We have Ariel to thank for that!

I've been learning fiddle with Robin for 2 years, and I'm so grateful I ended up with her as my…read moreteacher! I played classical piano growing up, and when I started to play the fiddle, I wanted to learn not only how to play with musicality but also new things like how to play by ear and how to improvise. Robin's been absolutely amazing at teaching me how to sound good AND how to play by ear and improvise... as well as a lot about musical theory I didn't know to ask about! She has so much experience with all types of traditional music, and both a deep respect for traditions and a joy in experimenting with new things. When she teaches me a tune, it's not just about the music, but the story and context behind it, and the ways it's traditionally played. If we improvise something a little different, she'll delight in good music while also pointing out if we've veered from what traditional musicians would do. Robin is an outstanding teacher and I'd highly recommend her for anyone interested in learning fiddle, mandolin, and guitar!

Robin quickly identified that I needed to work on rhythm and has been helping me make my music more fiddley, without hyperfocusing on intonation and scales. Robin's strength is that she's deeply embedded in the local music community and can share tribal knowledge only gained from years of jams. She deeply cares about her students, personalizes lessons, and will often go overtime to ensure you have the videos, recordings for practice until the next lesson.

Amy is great with never-ever beginners of any age but also with adult returnees like me. There is so much I've forgotten since my childhood lessons, and so much I never learned in the first place. Amy has such breadth and depth as a musician combined with terrific flexibility as a teacher. Whatever kind of music interests you she can help you develop - classic-classical, jazz/blues, pop, improv/composition, you name it. Meanwhile Amy will help you build your musicality and, importantly, also a sturdy foundation -- Amy's music theory chops are as strong as her playing (she gigs professionally) and pedagogical skills. I now have a repertoire I really enjoy and am proud of, while I continue to advance my skills and understanding of music. I recommend Amy without reservation, for all ages and skill levels!
