We believe that the process of learning how to play an instrument should be fun and creatively fulfilling.
Meta Music students learn how to play multiple instruments, perform, write, and record in less time than it takes to learn a single instrument in a traditional format because our approach is the opposite of old school lessons: we teach music like a language.
You don’t need to read music in order to play music
and you don’t need a mysterious genetic gift
Once you understand the fundamentals, any instrument is at your fingertips
A typewriter and a pencil are very different, yet you use both to communicate the same language
Because if it’s not fun, what’s the point?
Tap into your creativity by learning covers and writing/recording original songs
Everyone can learn to play the music they love if they’re given the opportunity to find their instrument and learn in a way that matches their personality
Learning to play an instrument is awesome for your brain, especially for the developing brain of a child, but not all music lessons produce the same results. At Meta Music, we believe that…
Rote memorization is not the best way to learn
People with ADHD, dyslexia, and other neurodivergent traits are often the most creative people but are completely neglected by traditional lessons
…but I didn’t know it. Matthew loves the studio atmosphere and jamming while learning. Very different from ‘old school’ lessons. Learning this way has definitely helped build his confidence

I love that my kids and I are learning that music is a social, creative pursuit. We’re empowered to confidently make music, be creative, and have fun with it!
- Meta Music student & Galloway/Mount Vernon mom
...and I enjoy it just as much as he does. It’s the best part of my week just to watch him have so much fun.

Unlike every other activity we’ve ever done, they really take ownership of their lessons and are ready to go before I am. Meta Music allows them to be curious, to explore multiple instruments and styles and that has made all the difference.

Most music schools stack 30-minute lessons back to back to back to back to…
But our lessons are 45 minutes long, with 15-minute breaks between sessions — which allows us to:
Go over what students have been learning and practicing
Build on it with new material and play time
Give instructors the breathing room they need to be ready for every lesson
Week over week, the time adds up: More time together means stronger, more passionate musicians and all-around cooler humans.
Our mantra around here: “It’s all about the student.” And this is just one of the many ways we put it into action.
