Weekly Private Music Lessons
All Instruments, All Ages
One of Music on Magnolia's core values is that music is a social art, meant to be played together with friends and family. Our Performance Path empowers students to do exactly that. In our weekly music lessons, students are taught the skills they'll need to participate in our performances, encouraged to join a band, and embrace the new journey to the big stage.

Where Friends Become Bandmates
For most performers, band rehearsals are their favorite part of our process. Instructors organize bands by age, instruments, and musical taste, striving to create a group of students that enjoy spending time together. The friendships formed in our band rehearsals are the backbone of our studio, creating space to cultivate relationships between bandmates which help motivate everyone to practice and be prepared for the gig.

Playing Songs THEY Choose
Every 2 to 3 months, our student bands perform at some of San Antonio most iconic music venues. All students are encouraged to participate in the performances to get the full Music on Magnolia experience. After a few performances, student's confidence skyrockets as they begin to identify as a gigging musician and develop a setlist with their bandmates. It's not uncommon for students to have a few songs picked out several gigs ahead of time!

One of our studio's goals is to help seriously passionate students evolve into professional musicians. These dedicated individuals or bands are handpicked by our instructors and are prepared to perform at a moment's notice. In addition to curating unique performance experiences to showcase these superstars, we provide educational field trips to shadow industry professionals, allowing students to discover the many career options available in the music industry
" 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. "
