From the reviews
A place where kids truly grow through music As a mom, nothing makes me happier than seeing my child light up while learning. My daughter loved playing violin, but like many kids, she needed a change — and instead of stressing about finding a brand new music school, we found Music On The Westside, and it has been such…
My daughter's been begging for voice lessons for a while...but then she's also got the "I just want to be good and not practice" attitude (she's 10), and it was a struggle to get her to go to lessons, which was beyond frustrating and stressful.
My daughter takes private violin lessons from Sherilyn D Urben at Music on the Westside. She has been taking lessons for about 9 months and I am impressed by how much progress she has made. Sherilyn is a great teacher, caring and patient. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn violin!
Nate is a wonderful teacher who truly nurtures my son’s talent while keeping lessons fun and engaging. My son has been taking lessons (piano and now the drum kit) for several years at MOTWS.
Lessons at Music On the Westside
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Music On the Westside. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments and rentals on hand for exactly this reason.
