M Institute for the Arts

I can’t say enough good things about M Institute. My lessons are amazing and the people who work here are just lovely. I’ve met so many new friends at their music events and through the semester program and have had the best teachers EVER! I really love that they offer workshops and masterclasses for all levels and that I get to learn from multiple teachers not just about my instrument, but about music as a whole, such as listening for textures and learning what an exposition is. The facility is also really quaint in an old Georgetown rowhouse with a beautiful patio for receiptions and some really nice acoustic pianos in most of the rooms. Online bookings are also a favorite of mine, they even have an app! Can’t recommend M Institute enough!

Hello everyone. I thought it important to share an experience I had today. Susanna dismissed my voice teacher and I from the program, after listening in carefully on our conversation through a recording device in the main performance room. On top of being rude and overcharging me throughout the semester, this is a huge privacy issue for me. Please be completely careful as to what you say during lessons - she is listening and capable of terminating your semester program with no possibility of refund. Because my instructor was hearing me out on my complaints about payment, she dismissed him from his duties entirely and will be “consulting her attorney” about his breach of contract. This has been a scary experience to say the least.. I would not recommend anyone to take lessons here.

I'm so glad to have found this community of artists, students, and music enthusiasts in DC!
