Cincinnati School of Music was founded in 2012 with one location and has grown over thirteen years to five locations with more than 60 teachers and over 1,000 active students. The program is locally owned and locally run, and it is shaped by the neighborhoods and families that helped it grow. Cincy Magazine readers have voted Cincinnati School of Music “Best of the North” for Music Instruction ten consecutive years.
Teachers at Cincinnati School of Music are hired for their ability to teach and connect, not for credentials alone, and every teacher is selected because they are good at teaching, not just good at music. Office staff are available seven days a week, and a real person answers the phone when families call. When possible, siblings can schedule back-to-back lessons.
The mission of Cincinnati School of Music is summed up in the phrases “Dream big. Work hard. Play music.” and “our mission to inspire, to change lives through music, and to foster creativity, confidence, and grit in students of all ages.” Families from Montgomery, Blue Ash, Symmes Township, Kenwood, Indian Hill, and surrounding areas include Cincinnati School of Music in their weekly routines.
One parent reported that their son has taken drum lessons there for about two years, described the staff as friendly, and said his teacher is attentive to his abilities and needs, with the student performing in two recitals (Ciro C. · Google Review). Another parent said music lessons there have been a “game changer” for their family and noted growth in their children’s confidence (Abbie R. · Google Review). A returning family shared that they “absolutely adored” the staff, left for another school, then came back and experienced “so much care and excellent communication” (Erica F. · Google Review). A parent from Montgomery said their boys have learned piano and drums well enough to compose their own music and that they want to practice at home often (Ehiz Enek · Montgomery). Another Montgomery parent said their daughter started voice lessons and now sings constantly and that her confidence has increased (Melissa Mills · Montgomery). A further review notes that teachers individualize instruction for each student and that the organization is well run, well organized, and easy to schedule with clear communication (Jessica Hoffman · Montgomery).
