2 - 4X The Average Instructor Face Time Than The Average Music School
The research is in. Most kids give up on lessons in 12 months. We’ve fixed that by helping students 2-4 times the average lesson time. They getting better, faster, and keep engaged to stick with it.
Opportunities To Join Our “In The Band” Experience
Learning to play an instrument is awesome. Playing with other people makes it even more fun, enjoyable, and connected. And no, they don’t have to be a pro! Our student bands experience the joy of learning and rehearsing music together, all the way to playing live on stage in front of you, their audience.

“When my son expressed interest in learning guitar, I happened to come across some great reviews for The Music Circle. I was intrigued by the unique teaching approach, which, as I’ve seen in action, really caters to all levels and learning styles. They are kind, patient, and encouraging, and I've really enjoyed watching him bring smiles and confidence out in my 11 year old son. He walks into class in the worst moods some days, but by the end of class, he's beaming with pride and excitement. I can't thank The Music Circle enough for the positive energy he’s brought to my son’s life.” -

“Jonathan is the ultimate professional, who is incredibly approachable and wonderful with my daughter. He is patient and really wants his students to love what they are doing. He encourages growth, but also focuses on making sure his students recognize their inner strengths. I highly recommend him for your music lessons - you won't regret it.”

“The Music Circle is such a wonderful way to learn music. They really know how to connect with him, engaging on his level, and builds his knowledge and confidence at each session… Picking a teacher to introduce music into your child's life is a big decision and I give The Music Circle my highest praise and would recommend them to any parent.”

“After years as an oft-frustrated, on-again off-again guitar player (and taker of guitar lessons from many teachers), I signed up with The Music Circle in hopes of a fresh new approach. I have not been disappointed! I am very happy with the instruction and with the improvement in my guitar playing. I look forward to my lessons. I highly recommend The Music Circle.”

Learning the guitar isn't easy, but it can be amazing when it's passion sharing not drudgery. The Music Circle experience has been just that: passion and love for music. I feel like I'm getting a top notch professional coaching experience rather than just "Lessons." My dream has always been to be able to jam with my friends and family who play, but I never thought I had the gift of music. The Music Circle has given me that gift, to my own surprise I keep getting better.

Our founder Jonathan Olson actually quit private lessons as a kid because he was bored and didn’t feel he was making music or progress as fast as he wanted. Much like school and sports, our students learn, work, and play together in classes. Each student is provided individual training and feedback in every class from our trained instructors. We do not offer traditional private lessons.

If you’ve even been part of a classroom experience, yes! Group lessons take the pressure off you as the individual to learn the necessary skills in front of a professional and simultaneously develop your personal confidence over time. Plus, it’s fun to be a part of a supportive community and play music with other people. You’re a part of the band! How cool is that?
