I started my journey at Music House School of Music after seeing the incredible progress my kid…read moremade as a bassist. It inspired me to finally commit to learning an instrument, something I'd always wanted to do. Both of us started as beginners and, thanks to the amazing instruction, we now perform with bands. Music House truly is an incredible place to learn. Aiden and Jerad, my instructors, have challenged me in ways that have allowed me to confidently call myself a musician. My kid can proudly say the same. If you're looking to learn how to rock, Music House is the place to be!

Our 15-year-old son has been at Music House for 2 years. His confidence in his playing and his…read morecomfort in performance (he's an introvert and was quite reticent to be in front of an audience) has increased exponentially in the time he's been there. Their style of instruction has clicked for him and they have "gently" coaxed him into comfortable performance settings that have really done wonders for him, beyond traditional private lessons. He's asked for additional lessons and even played in one of their bands, results we couldn't have dreamed about the year before he started lessons.

To stretch and challenge myself in a new (and slightly uncomfortable) way, I decided to pursue a…read morelifelong dream: learn to play the drums. I searched online for lessons and came across the Music House in Overland Park. After completing their online form, I received a call from Alex. From the very first conversation, Alex set the tone for what would become a wonderful experience. He asked thoughtful questions about what I hoped to accomplish and even humored me when I admitted that the first song I was attempting to learn was none other than Led Zeppelin's The Ocean, a tough one for a beginner. I scheduled my first session and was greeted warmly by the staff, something that remained consistent every single week I walked through the door. Music has always been an important part of my life, but over the years, the "play" part faded away. Taking lessons at the Music House, especially under Alex's patient and kind guidance, has been about so much more than just learning the instrument. I now know the basics of how to play the drums, but more importantly, I've rediscovered the joy of learning something new (even in mid-life) and the confidence that comes with stepping outside of my comfort zone. The Music House is a place where encouragement, kindness, and great teaching come together, and I can't recommend it highly enough to anyone looking to begin (or return to) their musical journey.

We had my child's birthday party here. The kids loved the play area!…read more My first big complaint is the cleanliness. The floors were gross in the party room and I included a picture of one of the chairs. This was it at the start of our party. There weren't trash cans in the party room, which was frustrating. We spilled some water and when I used a paper towel to clean it up it was brown. The whole place needs a deep clean! Also, the party time is short. One hour is not enough time. If they need to clean the party rooms before the next party they should allow the kids to go back and play for another 30 min to make it a 2 hour party. This place has potential!

Props to this place mainly for existing. There aren't any gymnastics gyms near us, and this has…read moreopened up a new world to my daughter that she loves. Inspired by Simone Biles and the 2024 Olympics, my kid has jumped in (cartwheeled in?) with both feet. Straight up, the lobby and bathroom areas need to be cleaner and I'll stand by that. But the rest of it is pretty nice overall. The teacher seems great and has control of the group. The times I've watched my semi-trepidacious daughter here, I've noticed they move at a pace that doesn't allow for a lot of fear which is important. They sort of just get after it and settle in from there, always a good approach. I can't say we'll go here for a long time based on the distance, but we may because my daughter loves it and we're continuing with it despite the distance for us to travel each week.

The kitchen host did a great job walking us through each recipe, showing us how to cut the veggies, mixing ingredients and cooking everything at the end. The entire evening took about 2.5 hours and we walked home with plenty of leftovers and they emailed us the recipes too. Highly recommend.

My only criticism was that the young girls leading the party were pretty low energy and it was so quiet in there. I think the overall experience would have been better if the gals leading were a bit more engaging with the kids and maybe some music was playing in the background. The pretzel was good though, and my daughter had fun!
