In the pop music group ABBA’s song, “Thank You for the Music,” the group sings “…thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing/Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing/ Who can live without it?” These lyrics resonate with most everyone about the importance of music in our lives. Music is a universal language that not only brings us together, but also introduces a certain magic to situations.
Thanks to The Music Studio Atlanta, this musical magic has come to our community through the opening of a 5,000 square foot facility in the Pavilions at Eastlake. Although new to East Cobb, the studio has earned its musical stripes through teaching 30 years of in-home lessons, as well as providing lessons at a Vinings studio location for the past 11 years for both children and adults. The new location is at 2100 Roswell Road, Suite 1128, Marietta. Visitors are welcome beginning September 6th from 10am-8pm on Monday-Friday and 10am-5pm on Saturday.
According to Cecilia Rowe, owner and founding member of the 30- year family business, The Music Studio saw the importance of bringing its “unique blend of magic in teaching music to East Cobb.”
“I know East Cobb well because my parents live in the community,” she says. “As we looked to expand our business, it was the obvious choice for an additional studio.”
As she stated, Rowe and her staff bring a unique perspective to teaching music. “What we teach is way more than music lessons,” she explains. “Our goal is to instill confidence so our students can learn to focus, take risks, and persevere when the going gets tough. They grow and bloom through recitals, open mic opportunities, and destination performances such as the one at Elvis’ Graceland Stage in Memphis where our students performed last year, as well as the performance at the Fox Theatre on September 11th.
“Studying and practicing music simply makes you smarter,” she continues. “Many parents have told us that once their children began music lessons, academic skills improved which translated into better grades.”
The Music Studio staff emphasizes that two policies are paramount to their teaching philosophy, especially for young students. First of all, the teacher-student connection is important for every student success, and much emphasis is placed on the match. Secondly, student safety is a priority. Annual teacher background checks are required, and audiovisual equipment, as well as observation windows, are in each individual studio.
