About Musical Beginnings

Mission Statement

 “To Provide Students of all Ages with the Skills they need to Enjoy Music for a Lifetime!”

Musical Beginnings was founded by Susan Ferrell in 1997.  Kindermusik was the original program offering.  Within a few years the Kindermusik program had grown to over 120 students.  By 2001 she had outgrown her home studio and needed more space.  In 2002 she leased a space on Fourth Plain and added piano and voice lessons as well as a children’s choir.  To handle the extra programs our first 2 teachers were hired.  After only a year and a half the space had again become too small and a larger space was purchased and remodeled into a 4 classroom space where we are today.  In the past 7 1/2 years we have added violin and viola, guitar and bass, drums, banjo and a drama program.  We now have over 300 students, 10 teachers and a full time office staff. 

Musical Beginnings is a family oriented teaching school.  We offer lessons to all ages from babies in our Kindermusik program to several students in their 70’s.  We have the most dedicated student oriented teaching staff in the area.  All our teachers are well qualified and love teaching.  We have recitals twice a year plus holiday programs in the community.  In addition we have our star of the month program to recognize hard work, goal books for our students which ties practicing and learning to prizes.

Lessons and classes are offered Monday- Friday  9:30am - 9 PM and Saturday 9am -4 PM .  We welcome students of all ages and levels and will take you as far as you want to go.  Because we have 4 teaching rooms we can offer lessons for multiple family members at the same time.   We also have a range of options for lessons from private lessons to semiprivate (2 students) to 3-5 student classes to fit every learning style and budget.  For family members waiting for the student in lessons we have a very comfortable waiting room with a play area for the kids, a water cooler and free wi-fi. 

We hope to someday grow out of our Covington Rd studio to an even larger location to offer more programs for the Clark County community.
