M Institute for the Arts

I had a fantastic voice lesson with Thomas. He took the time in the beginning of the lesson to understand my goals and clarify the best path to take for the lesson. He was collaborative throughout the lesson and got me to think about the physicality of my instrument which helped to improve the consistency of the sound. I thought the lesson was well worth it and would highly recommend the M Institute.

Be careful about signing up in this institute!! The first impression it may seem like a great place. And you may find good instructors, however wait until you are registered and need help with any transaction or questions. They provide no access over the phone. The app poorly works, does not have comprehensive info and all you get is texts from people you don't even have access to their names. Susanna, the owner, will offer an open house session, be really kind, and once you registered you will learn how painful it is to deal with her. Inflexible and non responsive.

This is a great place! I was in need of formal cello classes as an adult learner and found this very engaging but unpretentious place where I did not feel intimidated or negatively challenged to do my best. The general approach for teaching music feels accessible and very didactic, and teachers are very approachable and polite and professional. Everyone seems to work towards to a common goal of inspiring people into artistic endeavor, and regardless individual goals that may vary among different students, the approach is based on respecting the needs of individual students who range in different ages and in their time constrains to dedicate to classes. I am in my second semester and happy to support this business. My cello teacher is simply phenomenal. Other teachers are great lecturers so far. And the owner is a competent, hands-on, hard working, engaging music teacher who values students not only as costumers but as potential artists who may carry the name of this institute with them in the future. It has been such a great experience and I am happy and grateful that I can make the most of it.

Great place!

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!
