Strings
Pick a Song, Any Song
Pick a Song, Any Song
In our string lessons, we believe in empowering students to choose the songs they want to learn. Whether it's a classical piece, a popular song, or a traditional tune, we encourage students to explore their musical interests and develop a personal connection to the music they play. By selecting their own repertoire, students are motivated to practice and fully engage with the music they love.
Technique and Theory
Technique and Theory
Our string lessons place a strong emphasis on developing solid technique and understanding music theory. Students will learn proper posture, bowing techniques, finger placement, and other essential skills to produce beautiful and expressive sounds. In addition, they will gain a solid foundation in music theory, including note reading, rhythm, scales, and more. These fundamental skills are crucial for becoming a proficient and well-rounded string player.
Performance Opportunities
Performance Opportunities
Performance opportunities are an integral part of our string program. We provide various platforms for students to showcase their talents, including recitals, concerts, and community events. These performances not only give students the chance to share their progress and musicality with others but also help them build confidence and stage presence. Participating in performances allows students to develop their artistic expression and become well-rounded musicians.

" Music on Magnolia is a vibe! The atmosphere Michael has created for his students with the magic of music is so welcoming. In just three short lessons, I watched my son build confidence as he overcame frustrations in learning something new because of the coaching and encouragement from instructors who are sharing their passion for music with the students. We look forward to watching our musician grow and continue working towards his big goals. "

" Music on Magnolia provides a safe, fun way for kids to explore music and instruments. The teachers meet kids where they are, giving lessons and assignments appropriate to the age and ability of the students. The lessons aren't limited to traditional classical instruction. The ‘recitals’ are actually shows at local venues. The kids team up to form bands and play pop/rock/country songs in a real music venue, for a real audience. My son loves it! "

" My son's experience with Music on Magnolia has been more than wonderful! My son already had a creative mind, but the instructors at the school have definitely helped him develop more than expected. He is a high finctioning autistic student, and being a part of this music community has been a blessing in helping him expand his socials skills and music abilities. We look forward to many more lessons and experiences with Music on Magnolia. "

" I’m an adult who wanted to learn guitar, but didn’t know anything about music. Since I started lessons at Music on Magnolia, I’ve learned how to read sheet music, understand music theory, how to play in a band with other musicians, and last but not least, how to enjoy the musical journey. "

" Where to start?! Michael is both an amazingly talented musician, as well as an equally talented teacher. He is able to connect with students in a way that allows him to not only teach the material, but also foster a love of music within them. We're so grateful to have found him and for the growth we’ve witnessed in our son as a musician. "

" Our sons started Music On Magnolia three years ago. With just the intro lesson, we were hooked! My youngest son being on the spectrum, I was a little apprehensive. But the boys hit it off with Michael and his staff right away. They have come a long way in three years. We're very appreciative of Michael and the instructors at Music On Magnolia and hope to continue coming for many years. "
