In-person lessons - Mike's Music
I love teaching my students here at Mike's Music in Ellicott City, MD and have been for almost 10 years! If you live in the Howard County area, this is the best place to take in-person lessons in my opinion (and Best of Howard's reader's choice - see Baltimore Sun!). Students of all ages and instruments meet here for their weekly lessons and parents can wait in the super comfy lounge, watch movies with siblings, or grab a donut next door at Dunkin'.
Mike's Music hosts annual spring recitals, and a variety of performance opportunities like rock bands, jazz bands, classical ensembles, and open-mics to keep everyone motivated and build community amongst young musicians. All ages are welcome to learn and study in a variety of styles and enthusiastic teachers and staff are waiting to meet you. If you are looking to start, this is the place! Book a lesson with Ms. Cynthia online or by calling the front desk! www.mikesmusicmd.com
