Great, friendly place for lessons and gear. My son enjoys his guitar teacher (Dan). There are plenty of opportunities to perform, and even classes that put together bands! They have a comfortable area to wait for your kiddo, and glassed-in lesson rooms so you can peek if you want.
I take drum lessons here with Bryan and have so much fun with him in our 30 minute lessons. I really like the place. It has a really cool look to it. Everyone there is SO nice! My sister also takes lessons there. We both had went to a different music school before. Im really glad we switched over to the musicians woodshed. It is SOOO much better than where we went before.
We took two beginner drum lessons during the summer. When we walked in, we were greeted by the owner who was so excited to bring my son in to show him the drums and give him some tips. My son LOVED the lessons with Brian and even though we have a packed schedule this fall, we are going to take some more lessons!
My 12 year old son and I walked into the Musicians Woodshed a couple of years ago within a few weeks of them opening their doors looking for a place for to buy a bass guitar and perhaps get some lessons. We were given a tour by the owner and one of the guys who worked there had my son playing a couple of bars of songs before we left. We were both hooked. Now, after three or four space expansions, Ive had thee of my sons take lessons there on bass, guitar, and drums. Weve done summer rock camps, evening concerts, and garage band. I cannot say enough about the quality of the instruction, the friendliness of everyone who works there, and the overall extreme coolness of everything about this place. You would be crazy to go anywhere else.
Ive been a vocals student with Benji for almost an year now. I love the atmosphere, the staff and the rigor with which the lessons are taught. A huge thanks to Benji for designing the curriculum around bollywood songs and still achieving our learning goals. This is a rare quality! Wishing the team the best ahead in every way!
This is a music haven for all ages. A place where the kids can be inspired and the adults can feel like rock*stars. Weve taken piano lessons as a family and all of us learned and gained a love for playing music. The staff is super friendly and cool. Its the essence of Austin, all jammed in a woodshed filled with music, expression and fun!
This place is a true jewel for those who have kids with a musical inclination. I am so happy to have found this place for my daughter to explore her desire to perform. Even though she already plays the piano and reads music, she had a great awakening by meeting real musicians working to teach, and loving music as much a she does.
My 12 year old daughter has taken guitar and some voice lessons from this amazing team of teachers for the past 3 years. Tony, the owner, is so passionate about his business, the industry, and helping young people develop their artistic skills. The Woodshed staff and teachers are all top notch individuals working together to make this, in my opinion, the best run business in the Austin/Lakeway/Bee Cave area.
Two years ago we walked into the front door of The Musicians Woodshed and felt like we had finally found a home. There is something really magical going on within these walls. All of the teacher and staff are some of the nicest, most talented people weve ever met. So many of the students here are PHENOMENALLY TALENTED. Tonys madcap enthusiasm for music, the students, (young and old alike), the customers, (who become friends), and this business is inspiring. My son was matched PERFECTLY with his teacher, DON, who has become a member of our family. Since moving to this part of Austin from out of state, it has been a big adjustment for us. Our son has THRIVED here because of the Woodshed. He is now a confident performer, a songwriter, musician, and hes even recorded a song in the Woodshed studio that has changed his young lifes trajectory already in so many exciting ways. Weve done GARAGE BANDS on the weekends and ROCK CAMPS in the summers in addition to all the other opportunities made available. We often say that if it werent for Don, Tony and the rest of our Woodshed family, we wouldnt be living the fun life we are living here in the ATX. There arent enough words of appreciation for all their support, skills, confidence building, performance opportunities, and all out ROCKnROLLing our lives! Cheers and continued success to this amazing biz!
The Musicians Woodshed is a great place to take lessons, buy instruments/equipment, or just hangout and have fun! The people are very friendly and will work with you to get what you want; whether it be a new guitar or playing that song you like. There is a cool recording studio... and they lead Woodshed live which helps playing with a crowd.
We have been attending the Musicians Woodshed since it opened, and have been thoroughly pleased with the pleasant inviting atmosphere and the caliber of teachers who take great care and patience with the students. It is one thing to teach the technical aspects of instrument, but the students who arrive to learn dive right into the music that attracted them to learn in the first place.
Music and performance immersion. So much more than just guitar lessons! The atmosphere is great for encouraging your student to embrace all sorts of music and instruments. The staff is courteous and professional. Our son loves it!!
Learning to play and instrument can be challenging especially as an adult. I have been so pleased I chose the Musicians Woodshed to learn to play the guitar. My instructor Dan is so patient and encouraging. A great environment for all ages to learn!
All three of my sons take class here and it is truly the highlight of their week. This is the only place I have found that makes learning music truly FUN! If you have never been, it is worth a stop in just to see the music store and amazing vintage decor. This is a true treasure in Austin - the Music Capitol!
The owner Tony is a great guy that really cares about the kids. He spends time with almost everyone personally who comes through the door and makes them feel welcome. I have seen the staff take meek, shy kids and turn them into mini rock stars.If you are looking for any type of music lessons for your child, you will not find a place better. The staff is friendly and knows everyone who comes through the door. Especially Amanda.Im waiting for a second location to open, because I smell a franchise.
Excellent experience. Our boys have the flexibility to try a variety of different instruments and teachers are very focused, multi-talented and dedicated. We love the environment and the kids look forward to their classes every week.
The Woodshed is by far the best resource for young musicians in Austin. The staff is excellent, accessible, and friendly. We have 3 children taking lessons and could not recommend them more!
Where else can you find 41 PERFECT REVIEWS ON GOOGLE?I am a student, met the owner, and much of the staff.Customer service, all the best quality. World Class musicians, people that have been on TV, toured the world. They are a wealth of help and making a difference for children and the community.Thank you Tony and Team for what you do!!!
The Musicians Woodshed changed my Life!! My love for music is beyond words and so is my love and appreciation for everyone that works @ the woodshed. Ive met so many amazing people and have learned so much more than I ever thought in the past year. Theyre fair, enthusiastic, and of course, devoted to music.
This is the only music store that I go to anymore. The equipment they have is fantastic, the staff is always friendly and helpful. Ive sent 2 of my guitars in for minor repairs and maintenance and they have always come back to me in better condition then they were when I sent them in. Whether youre looking for strings or other equipment, or youre looking for a place to do some repair, this is the store to go to.
I recently recorded a very personal song in the studio here at The Musicians Woodshed. Since I was a newbie in the studio, I wasnt sure what to expect. I can say without reservation that Tony is an absolute professional with a great manner that inspires the creativity that led me to record this song in the first place. Between Tony walking me through the recording process one step at a time and with the collaboration between me, Tony, and Ryan Holley on guitar, I was literally able to pull the song out of my head even better than I had imagined it for years! Tony and Ryan were on the same wavelength and brought me along with them until we had all of the tracks laid out. Their guidance even helped me play other instruments on my own song without some of the amateurish mistakes one would make without professional guidance during the recording session. Another impressive thing (although I should have expected it anyway) is Tonys mastery of the studio gear and software. Tony knew how to set up his mics for acoustic instruments quickly and perfectly the first time and was also very adept at the recording software. We wasted no time trying to figure anything out leaving us plenty of time for the actual mixing and creative work (very important if you are on a budget and cant spend studio time playing with the software). I would be willing and honored to serve as a testimonial and reference for their work, both personally and professionally and give Tony permission to give my number out for this purpose.
We are lucky to be so close to the best studio in town. Thanks to Gina for being so helpful at the front desk. Thank you Brian for engaging with my 2.5yr olds drum passion. Thank you Tony for your blood, sweat and tears in this business which is benefiting our youth 100 fold. We appreciate you all!
Im a full time musician in austin... performed around US for OK too long. Known tony for a years... Hes grea and has a wonderfull store...well stores ...In Austin. Just purchased a $250.00 guitar 0ct 2018. Love it. I had stopped at Strait..Guitar Center no luck... love the new guitar... He still doesnt know i bought it. Great guy great store.. highly reccommend.
Excellent teachers, very patient with my little musicians! The retail side is equally excellent, and patient with all my many questions! Im so glad we found the Musicians Woodshed!
Visited here yesterday. It was a hive of activity with extremely welcoming staff. Great setup and access to quality instruments, recording, rehearsal and performance areas. As someone who works in music education, I can say that this place gets it right!
I have just started taking voice lessons with David Adams. This is after a 20 year hiatus from voice lessons. David has a fun approach towards helping me understand the fundamentals of using my core to create a better stronger voice. The prices are reasonable and they have many teachers and times to choose from.
I have never experienced such amazing customer service! Ryan not only assisted me with choosing strings, but took the time to string my guitar and educate me despite not having an appointment. Great job guys!!
This place is amazing! They have everything set up right and designed for an inspirational and creative learning environment for all ages. They are organized and on top of everything and make it a fun and welcoming place to learn music.
The Musicians Woodshed it is not inclusive for all students. They actually have a preference or pick what students they want to teach.
This place is absolutely AMAZING!! Anyone who walks in wants to take lessons. My daughter started at 30 minutes and was asking to move up to an hour after her first lesson.
I was at the woodshed recently and the talent is great and the acoustic sets were my favs, but Circus is real rock-n-roll.
I have taken several lessons with the Woodshed over the last year of so, and each time I am met with professionalism and a staff that goes above and beyond for all of its customers.Highly recommended!
Took both my guitars in for set ups and a neck repair and the tech, Milo, did an excellent job for a good price.
Friendly staff who remember your name. Solid teachers and no-pressure free trial lessons. Location includes setting for live performance opportunities for students.
I’ve always enjoyed every time I’ve walked into the shed. Each visit is always a delight and I couldn’t ask for cooler or more police employees. Thanks to the store that keeps on giving.
Such a cool place! Has a retail section but is mainly a music school for all ages!
I absolutely LOVE this place! Professional and truly care! It has been a God send to my family. I cant express how grateful I am to everyone there!
This place is amazing! The atmosphere is so inviting and the staff is great. The Woodshed is well run and my daughter enjoys going there.
Very helpful staff, nice selection of instruments, strings. .. great atmosphere for lessons.
Great teachers! Great creative atmosphere! Great place for children to learn to love music.
Awesome business! The instructors are amazing with kids! THE MUSICIANS WOODSHED ROCKS!!!
Great store but do not go asking for anything for Band (Symphonic/Concert) or Orchestra.
Great resource for musicians. Good selection of instruments and a quality school.
Amazing place! Even if you are just passing by, stop in and look around. Super great staff who are very helpful.
Great instructors, great atmosphere and wonderful staff!
Great guys and great service. Change the open times for Saturday on your web site.
Love this place..so, happy we found them.

2015-05-05My daughter has been taking piano lessons from Tricia for about 3 months. This was her first time with any music lessons and we are so pleased with her progress. It seems like all the instructors are well qualified and trained to work with children. The Woodshed has a wide variety of lessons/ activities that they offer. You can tell they accommodate to all music styles and personalities. The environment is fun and its easy to keep small children occupied if you are waiting during sessions. It was recommend to us by many of our friends and its lived up to our expectations.

2017-03-13The Musicians Woodshed is a total gem for the Lakeway/Bee Cave/Austin communities! The staff is super professional, the store is well-stocked, and the opportunities they have for their students are one-of-a-kind. Ive never heard of a music studio that taught and encouraged students to perform and record! This is exceptional. Ive worked closely with Kelly and Tony, and they are both wonderful. I also booked a 3-hour recording session with Tony and he was amazing. Totally worth it. The sound quality and production coming out of this studio is exceptional. I love everything about this place!

2012-08-31This place ROCKS! My children take guitar and vocal lessons at this hip- beyond- words music school/ guitar store and LOVE it! They are highly motivated to practice due to the monthly Woodshed Live! performances where students and teachers showcase their talent on a stage in front of an enthusiastic crowd. They feel like super stars as they are introduced and accompanied by their amazingly talented teachers under the bright lights. The icing on the cake is being greeted by charming British owner, Tony Walsh, who always makes you feel welcome and takes the time to give kids a tour of his recording studio. His stories, jokes, and educational tips keep kids and parents, alike, coming back for more!

2013-08-05My family cannot say enough good about this music shop and school. Besides teaching music to students (my three children take guitar, piano and voice), Tony, the owner, as well as everyone who works there actively foster a community of musicianship. Students are encouraged to perform live (there are two areas set up within the school to do so, and there is a monthly live performance night at which any student can perform) as well as to write and record their own songs. The school takes lessons from the academic to the applied, and you see how each kid thrives and grows in the spotlight. You will love Tony, who has a ready supply of stories for all ages that will leave you in stitches.As a parent, I am forever having to drive my kids to this camp and that rehearsal. Unlike most obligations, though, I mark Wednesday as my favorite night of the week when we get to spend an hour at the Woodshed among the loveliest teachers, staff, parents and kids you could hope to meet.

2015-04-28Musicians Woodshed is the most wonderful place on earth! My son has been taking piano there for several years. He loves the songs he plays, and I dont even have to nag him to practice! These lessons are nothing like the boring lessons I took as a child!
