Chris G has been an excellent music teacher for our 7-year old daughter. I am regularly struck by how well he communicates to our daughter and explains music concepts and ideas, and demonstrates and guides her. Chris does so in a way which she clearly finds engaging and motivating. He is also very patient, kind and gentle with her. We hope to continue lessons with Chris in the future. has been a wonderful and patient teacher for our 6-7 yr old daughter

Musicolor Method answered all our questions about violin lessons and offered trial lessons, which was super! Our kid recently started lessons, and his teacher Aaron is great: patient, playful, and kind.

My kids have worked with Andrew, who started Musicolor Method, for twelve years. His enthusiasm for music and his love of teaching is unmatched. This might be why my kids never asked to quit piano, as most eventually do! Somehow Andrew makes the work all about joy—a life lesson if there ever was one—and meets each kid exactly where they are. His patience and attentiveness to my kids, coupled with his expertise and sunny personality, seems to have seeped out into his whole new school of teachers. If he’s leading by example, this will continue to be one fantastic team!

Andrew is an absolute gem. Park Slope Music Lessons have helped both my kids learn, have fun and come out of their shells via music. Couldn't be happier with our piano and guitar lessons.

This is such a wonderful program! We started piano lessons 2 years ago and our child is still so happy and continues having fun learning. We had a new teacher this season and they do such a great job matching instructors with each child's needs and learning styles. Great communication across the board.

We have had such a great experience with Michael and this school overall. My daughter has been taking piano since she turned 6. She's 8 now and loves it. Michael is supportive, engaging, very knowledgeable about music and teaching kids, and so kind and responsive. I strongly recommend this music school to anyone looking for a wonderful program!

Applying
"Design Thinking"

I realized my audience of young children was not being served by traditional method books. In fact, that’s why those teachers told me to come back later. The books they were using were designed for 7 or 8 year olds!

I started designing simplified notation using color. Music notation that anyone, even preliterate children could read!

It has proven incredibly powerful and successful.

After years of teaching by myself, I started training a few more teachers to teach alongside me. The results were phenomenal. I continued hiring and training the best teachers who were open-minded enough to try my radical experiments.
