What Parents Are Saying About Stages Music Arts:

I have had an amazing experience at Stages. From my incredibly knowledgeable and talented teacher Emily G, to the customer service staff (shout-out to Caitlin) - if you're in the market for voice/music lessons, I don't think you can make a better choice than Stages. Super talented teachers (and students!), incredibly helpful/responsive staff, and a beautiful, state of the art environment. 5 stars!!

I recently started taking lessons at Stages Music Arts in Baltimore and I’m so impressed with their teaching programs, amazing staff and musical community. My teacher, Evan Cooper, is not only incredibly talented, but has a gift for identifying the best teaching style and method for each student. He is kind, patient, and truly cares about each of his students. He encouraged me to join the Stages adult band program, and one year after my first lesson, I had the opportunity to perform with my Stages bandmates at a local live venue. The instructors and staff are very friendly and care very much for every student who comes through their doors. I highly recommend joining the Stages Music Arts family!

My daughter has taken several different lessons at Stages over the last few years. We have yet to have a bad experience. The instructors are friendly and seem to know their stuff. She is currently taking drums with Taso and has made tremendous growth. Highly recommend Stages for music lessons!

My daughter has been taking both vocal & guitar lessons for about 18 months now. We are extremely happy with the results. Stages has not only taught her how to play the guitar and helped with her singing, they have also provided opportunities for her to play and perform in the community with one of their various bands that they put together with students. Stages also hosts an open mic night periodically that also allows my child the opportunity to perform in their state of the art performance hall.

If you are looking for a "30 minutes and out" kinda place for lessons, go somewhere else. BUT, if you are looking for a community of musicians who are committed to cultivating musical growth and excellence, friendships and fun- then stages is your new tribe!

Stages manages to be both professional and like family. Everyone is courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable. My daughter has been in piano lessons for years and has made tremendous progress. They were amazing with hybrid options during the pandemic and this was so helpful!! The best part is she really looks forward to her lessons with Ms. Molly each time. Thank you, Stages!

I love Stages Music. I started taking guitar lessons last year and every instructor is an expert in their instrument. Sometimes more than one. The customer service is great, the facility is top notch, and the performances are great. If you love music so much you want to learn to play, I highly recommend this place.

Although I am an instructor at Stages Music Arts, I am also a client!!! My daughter takes voice lessons with Shannon and is having a blast. My wife and I are very pleased. I’ve also brought in my own group to record at Stages Music Arts. Dave Nachodsky is a wizard of an engineer and I would recommend his services to anyone interested in a professional recording!

I've been going here for drum lessons and electronic music production lessons for a year or two now, and to say that this place is awesome is an understatement. This place has taught me so many things about drumming, music production, and just music in general over the time I've been here. The facility here is so nice and professional. This place let me discover my love for music production and it's now something I do from home almost every day. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking to learn how to play an instrument or how to produce music.

We're so happy we found Stages. Both of our children take lessons there and are learning so much and look forward to their lessons (guitar and drums) and band sessions--no arm-twisting required to get them to practice! Our daughter has been taking lessons longer, so I'll focus on her experience. She started her guitar lessons with Shannon shortly before the pandemic lockdown began, first in-person, and then virtual only for several months, and now happily back in-person again and has been for several months. Through it all, Stages and Shannon were quick to pivot to make for a seamless learning experience, even when virtual (we parents all know how tricky that can be for both teachers and students). We're amazed at how much our daughter picked up so quickly. She has really clicked with Shannon, who we just love. She has nurtured our daughter's knack for music and has really sparked her confidence as a performer. Thank you, Stages and Shannon!

Stages is a wonderful educational experience for our son-studying electric guitar under Brennan McShane for 4 years. (You rock, Brennan!) Teaching quality, environment, and professionalism at Stages Music Arts improve all the time. It’s a beautiful place composed of many parts such as a recital area, outdoor concert area, recording booths, etc., and worth asking for a tour of the building. Stages is filled with positive, energetic, and highly educated staff who really care about, and are tuned in to, their students of all ages. Note: the building is extremely clean, has a new filter system due to Covid, and staff follow all necessary measures. We highly recommend enrolling you and your child(ren) for vocal lessons and instrument lessons with the amazing instructors at Stages Music Arts.

Fantastic place to learn and grow as a musician. I have always loved to sing and finally decided to take lessons. My vocal coach (Shannon) is great and I am learning so much! I’m also trying “Adult Jam” with Mitch as a mentor...the most fun I’ve had creatively in years. State of the art facility, fantastic community of like minded people who just love music. Thank you Stages.
