What to Expect
Every student starts with a no-pressure evaluation lesson — a one-on-one session where we learn about you before we teach you anything. What instrument interests you? What do you hope to accomplish? Are you starting from zero or picking something back up? We listen, then build a personalized curriculum around your goals, your schedule, and your budget. No contract, no obligation.
Dunwoody combines the convenience of a Perimeter-area location with a genuine village atmosphere — Brook Run Park, the Dunwoody Farmhouse, and a community that shows up for its neighbors. Music fits naturally into that culture, and our lessons bring the same personal attention Dunwoody families expect in everything they do.

Who Takes Lessons With Us
Young beginners — Our youngest Dunwoody students start as early as age 4, learning the basics through short, focused sessions designed for how young children actually learn — with patience, repetition, and encouragement. When they eventually enter DeKalb County's school music programs, they arrive with skills most classmates are still building.
School-age & competitive students — Dunwoody students attend schools in the DeKalb County system, with access to orchestra, band, and chorus programs that participate in GMEA events, LGPE evaluations, and district honor ensembles. The Spruill Center for the Arts — established in 1975 and the Southeast's largest community education center — offers visual and performing arts programming right in the heart of Dunwoody. Private lessons complement these school and community programs by developing the individual technique that group settings cannot address.
Adults & returning players — Dunwoody professionals — many working along the Perimeter — come to lessons because they want something in their week that is creative, personal, and completely disconnected from a screen. Piano and guitar are the most popular choices for adults here, though we see everything from violin to songwriting. The Spruill Center's spirit of lifelong learning is alive in our studio too.

Your Instructor
Soul Music Lessons is led by a multi-instrumentalist who directly teaches violin, viola, piano, classical guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, music theory, and cello. This is not a franchise with rotating staff — your evaluation is conducted by the person who will guide your musical development long-term. Specialist instructors handle voice, drums, saxophone, and flute to the same standard.
Part of Dunwoody's Music Community
The Dunwoody Cultural Arts Center — home to the Spruill Center for the Arts, Stage Door Players, and the Dunwoody Library — makes the city a genuine arts hub. Brook Run Park hosts festivals and community events year-round. Dunwoody's village feel means students can walk from school to lessons to the park without ever feeling rushed. Our students are not just learning an instrument; they are joining a community that values the arts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What age can children start music lessons?
We accept students as young as 4. The evaluation lesson helps us determine readiness — every child develops at their own pace.
Do I need any experience to start?
None at all. Many of our students begin with no musical background. Your evaluation gives us what we need to build the right plan.
How much do lessons cost?
Pricing depends on lesson length and frequency — we offer flexible options for different budgets. Call 470-789-2422 or use our contact form for details.
Are private lessons necessary for GMEA and school auditions?
Students who combine school rehearsals with weekly private lessons consistently outperform those who rely on classroom instruction alone. Private coaching on scales, excerpts, and sight-reading makes a measurable difference.
Do you offer group lessons?
Yes — after private evaluation confirms readiness. Group playing builds listening, confidence, and the kind of musical friendships that make practice feel less like a chore.
