How We Get Beginners Playing Fast!

Playing songs in 4 weeks or less is just the beginning.

  • Week 1 win: Hold the instrument correctly, play your first notes, and understand exactly what to practice at home.
  • Weeks 2–4: Play your first full song in 2–4 lessons (often one you already know and love), so practice feels rewarding instead of like a chore.
  • Beyond month 1: We keep mixing in songs from your world (family, church, school, favorite bands) while building the skills and music theory underneath.

Real Students. Real Families. Real Music At Home.

“Wherever we go, we take the guitar… This past year has helped him learn that he can succeed if he puts forth the effort. Six months later, at Christmas, he played 5 songs with our ‘family band.’”

– Carlisa Romero

Terry

Parent

“The first time I heard him play his part with mine for Silent Night, I started crying. I didn’t know he had come that far.”

Henry

Parent

“Now there’s live music at home and a greater understanding of how it’s created. Nothing beats having live music at home.”

Jim

Parent

“I was using YouTube and flitting from one idea to the next without ever actually learning anything. Now I try fewer things but actually practice the same thing more than once.”

"...I can work at my own speed."

FAQ

Our studio is located at 3951 S 71st Street, Milwaukee, WI 53220.

We serve the Milwaukee, West Allis, Greenfield, Greendale, Franklin, New Berlin, Hales Corners, and Oak Creek neighborhoods.

We do! While our focus is aimed at adults, we have served many children over the last decade and are proud to help kids and families who are serious about learning an instrument and want real results.

We offer piano, guitar, and drum lessons for ages six and up and we offer voice lessons to ages eight and up.

All lessons are tailored to the student based on their age, ability, and interests.

Yes—this is a great place for adults at any level, even total beginners. You don’t need experience, just a commitment to learning and showing up consistently. We’ll give you the structure, support, and guidance to help you hit your goals—no matter where you’re starting from.

Life happens. If you’re unable to attend a lesson and give us proper notice, we offer flexible options so you don’t lose progress:

  • Group Makeup Sessions: Our standard option. Join an age‑ and level‑appropriate group makeup during our designated makeup times (currently Friday evenings and Saturday mornings).
  • Online Lesson: Connect via Zoom for your normal lesson time.
  • Recorded Video Lesson: A personalized video lesson tailored just for you.
  • Gift Your Lesson: Share your lesson with a friend or family member (same teacher, same time, same instrument).

Makeup credits are unlimited, valid for 60 days, and can be used while you’re actively enrolled. They cannot be used to reduce tuition or be refunded for cash.

No. Our studio operates on a month‑to‑month membership. Your tuition reserves your weekly lesson time and includes all member benefits. You can cancel with notice per our studio policies (before the next billing cycle), and there are no long‑term contracts required.

Yes. We keep our pricing simple and give a small break to families and students who are more committed.

  • The first weekly 30‑minute lesson in a household is $160 per month.
  • Any additional weekly 30‑minute lesson (extra family member or extra weekly lesson for the same student) is $150 per month.
  • A 60‑minute weekly lesson counts as two 30‑minute lessons, so it is $300 per month.

Examples:

  • 2 siblings taking 30‑minute lessons → 1 × $160 + 1 × $150 = $310 per month total
  • 3 siblings → 1 × $160 + 2 × $150 = $460 per month total
  • 1 student with a 60‑minute lesson → 2 × $150 = $300 per month total

This way, families and “heavy players” get a better rate for additional lesson spots, while still keeping our pricing fair and sustainable for the studio.

There are plenty of places in Milwaukee offering music lessons—some even at a lower price. But here’s why our students choose (and stick with) us:

1. A Studio Built Just for Lessons
We’re not a retail store with lessons on the side. Teaching music is all we do. That means our entire focus—from the space we’ve built to the systems we use—is designed to give you the best learning experience possible.

2. Real Support Beyond the Lesson
Progress doesn’t stop when your weekly lesson ends. From our online platform and monthly check-ins to social events and workshops, we support your growth every step of the way. We believe learning music is a lifestyle—and we help you live it.

3. Proven Experience and Methods
Our teaching methods are built on years of professional training, performance, and hands-on experience. We’ve refined what works and trained our instructors to bring that expertise directly to you.

"Alex Makes Music Fun Again For Me."

“I’m 53 and wanted to expand my music knowledge and better my guitar playing skills. Alex has been able to not only go at a pace that fits my comprehension, but give me lessons to work on at home so I can work on at my own speed. In 1 month of working with Alex, I’ve been able to write a song, understand what key it’s in and come up with a solo that complements the song. It’s mind blowing how simple he makes it to understand. Alex makes music fun again for me.“

– Ken Hanrahan

"Could not be a better investment in myself."

“I’ve been taking lessons with Alex for nearly 3 years and it’s been the best! His lessons are very student-led and he will teach me whatever I want to learn, which keeps me motivated, rather than learning from a structured book. Yet he also pushes me when I need it to make sure I’m improving. Not only is he an extremely talented guitarist, but he has an answer for every question, whether it’s about gear or music theory. Could not be a better investment in myself.“

– Sydney Drosen

"...I look forward to every lesson..."

“I have two sons that are both talented musicians. As they were growing up they had many good teachers throughout the years. They, and I, were fortunate that way. So when I decided to take the challenge of learning to play an instrument myself I had a pretty good idea of what I’d need to succeed and learn.

I found Milwaukee Music Lessons with a Google search, they were close by and had daytime availability which I preferred. I am very happy that I did. I am working with Robyn and she is an absolutely wonderful teacher. She is a patient encouraging person who has taught me so much in such a short time. She takes time to work things out with me at my beginner level, even though she is an accomplished musician. Not every musician has the ability to work with those who are just starting, but Robyn does and I look forward to every lesson I attend with her. She knows how to get the most out of every session and I look forward to continuing my musical journey with her expert assistance.”

– Dave Skowronek

"My son eagerly awaits each lesson..."

“My 11 year old son has been taking drum lessons with Alex for nine months and absolutely loves going. He has never had lessons before. Along with teaching music theory, each lesson includes a very relatable song to a kid. My son eagerly awaits each lesson in anticipation of finding out what new fun song he’ll learn.”

– Jenni Hanson

They get a hundred stars from this student!

“Robyn is an outstanding piano teacher with boundless patience and kindness. She really makes learning a fun experience. Both Robyn and Alex are organized, efficient, and talented with music, their teaching styles, and the way they run their small business. They get a hundred stars from this student!”

– Cathy Zabler

"I've made more progress in that time than the dozens of times I've tried to teach myself."

“I’ve been taking lessons from Alex for over a month now and I’ve made more progress in that time than the dozens of times I’ve tried to teach myself. Alex is patient, explains things clearly (not just the how, but also the why), and makes it fun! I’m learning the songs I want to learn out of the gate. Alex shows me the proper techniques that have helped me get over the humps that held me back in the past and the tools that he offers have been huge (mp3 files of the songs that I can play along with has been a game changer). I can’t say enough about how happy and excited I am to be working with Alex and Milwaukee Music Lessons!”

– Stephanie Moore

"...It’s wonderful that my son has found such a great mentor."

“We’ve been with Alex for almost a year now. Our 11yr old son has loved his weekly guitar lessons and has improved so much in this time. He and Alex have established a really solid bond and it’s wonderful that my son has found such a great mentor. Alex is a talented and enthusiastic teacher, and we whole-heartedly recommend him. Thank you Alex!”

– Jess Weber

"My son has come a long way in just a few months."

“My son has been taking guitar lessons with Alex for a few months now and he loves it! He looks forward to going every week. Alex is fun and engaging. He is very student led and lets my son even choose songs that he wants to learn. He also encourages and pushes him in areas that need improvement. My son has come a long way in just a few months. Awesome teacher, highly recommend!”

– Scott Hoff

"I made the decision to learn to play the guitar from an experienced teacher..."

“Alex has the ability to adjust quickly during a lesson to meet a students needs. if I am not grasping a concept he will change wording, demonstrate or find an example in a song from his extensive memory bank. I made the decision to learn to play the guitar from an experienced teacher rather than try to figure things out for myself. I believe this is a good investment of my time and money..”

– Donna Galik

"Highly recommend."

“Alex is a professional both in playing and teaching. He is able to adapt his teaching style to whatever suites your needs, from beginner to advanced. Highly recommend.”

– Kyle Rasmussen

"...He defines a way to do it all intuitively."

“Alex is an amazing and patient teacher! The greatest part about learning guitar from him is that you don’t even realize how fast your progressing as you move from one song to the next. Unlike a traditional approach of learning notes and chords separately, he defines a way to do it all intuitively.”

– Henry Kosarzycki

"We observe demonstrable progress throughout each school year..."

“Our son has been a student for 3 years now and we keep coming back! Alex is thoroughly invested in our student’s success, and he makes such great resources available for practicing during the week. We observe demonstrable progress throughout each school year – a credit to both regular practicing and Alex’s instruction. Thank you so much!”

– Mark Nimmer

"Engaging, thoughtful about curriculum, and flexible throughout...."

My young children began piano lessons with Robin (Robyn?–apologies!) this past summer, and with every session, I’m increasingly impressed with her teaching skills. She’s engaging, thoughtful about curriculum, and flexible throughout, especially when meeting the pedagogical needs of a 7-yo and a 4-yo in the same session. No easy task! I highly recommend her instruction for a welcoming but challenging journey into piano.

– Leslie McAbee

"Our son enjoys practicing and likes that he gets to choose some of the songs he works on."

“Alex has been teaching our 12-year-old drum lessons for almost a year. It has been a great experience for our son. Alex shares his passion for music in a professional way, and works well with kids. Our son enjoys practicing and likes that he gets to choose some of the songs he works on. Alex is a clear communicator, and he is encouraging as well. I’m looking forward to watching our son grow as a musician under Alex’s guidance!”

– Louise Abramowski

"Our Son Looks Forward To His Lesson Each Week."

“Our 8 year old son started drum lessons with Alex about 6 months ago and he absolutely loves it. Alex is so nice, funny, and has a great way of engaging with the kids. He explains things very clearly and our son looks forward to his lesson each week. And he also likes that he gets to play “cool” songs. Thanks Alex!”

– Stacie Hojnacki
