Magnolia Music School

We have had such a wonderful experience at Magnolia Music School over the last 4 months! My 7-year-old daughter has been taking ukulele lessons with Sara Jayne, and I really can't say enough good things about her. My daughter has tried both the group classes and private lessons, and she absolutely loves them. It’s rare to find an activity where she consistently leaves happy and excited for the next one, but that’s always the case here. Sara Jayne is fantastic with this age group. She has a great way of keeping the kids' attention and makes the learning process fun while still being structured. She does an excellent job of reviewing past concepts and building new skills on top of them, so the progress feels very solid. If you are looking for a supportive and effective music environment for your child, I highly recommend Magnolia Music School and specifically Sara Jayne!

Our 7-year-old daughter, Rory, adores her weekly lessons with Sara Jayne and is learning the ukulele so quickly! She started out with Sara Jayne in Ukulele 1 with a small group of girls, and every week I could hear (from the sitting room) the group engaged and laughing. Rory would always come out glowing and with a bounce in her step. We recently started 1-on-1 lessons with Sara Jayne and Rory is making even more progress and building confidence. We love Magnolia Music School!

Magnolia is such a warm and pleasant environment for learning and enjoying music! Such a wonderful addition to the neighborhood!

Magnolia Music School is a true gem. Kat teaches her students with patience and encouragement, and really works to instill a lifelong love of music in each of them. It's not about being perfect here, it's about nurturing the creativity in everyone and having fun while doing it! The space is warm and inviting with special details everywhere that make it feel magical. Even adults will leave feeling inspired here!

Kat White is amazing teacher for kids and grown-ups alike! We feel so privileged to be learning from her. Kat’s warmth, musicality, and enthusiasm are infectious. The new space on Grand Avenue is wonderful.

Kat has been fantastic music teacher for our 7-year-old. From the very first lesson, she has been a shining beacon of warmth, patience, and creativity. Using the chord method, she has made learning piano and singing not only accessible but also incredibly fun and engaging. What sets Kat apart is her genuine passion for music and her ability to connect with young learners. She creates a nurturing environment where our child feels comfortable to explore and experiment. Every lesson is a delightful adventure—making up songs on the spot, discovering new sounds, and building confidence along the way. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a talented, caring, and inspiring music teacher. She’s a treasure!
