Mason Music

Specialties

Offering a unique approach to music lessons, Mason Music is growing a culture around learning music that is contagious. We not only offer one-​on-​one private lessons in piano, voice, guitar (acoustic, electric, banjo, mandolin, ukulele), drums and violin, but students also have an opportunity to get involved in our group lessons on engaging topics like rock band, songwriting, theory and recording. The goal at Mason Music is to create a community of musicians who are passionate about learning music. Getting people hooked on music is our job!

History

Established in 2012.

What began as a side job driving to and from client’s homes to teach piano or voice, quickly developed into an exciting opportunity. Mason Music grew quickly by word of mouth, and by the fall of 2008 Will and Sarah Mason’s teaching schedules had swelled to capacity. Tapping into their network of friends in the Birmingham music scene, Will and Sarah recruited new teachers by targeting talented, high character musicians who performed and recorded regularly and had a passion for music. In April of 2012, Mason Music opened its doors in Cahaba Heights and welcomed new teachers and students into what Will and Sarah had begun 5 years earlier. After being open only 10 months, Mason Music had to start adding interested families to a waiting list. Will and Sarah then decided to open up a Mountain Brook Studio in September of 2013 and a Bluff Park Studio in April of 2015.
