 WHY MUSICOLOGY

IMG_6886.jpg

The Mission of Musicology:

Music Studies for EVERY Mind.

We create lifelong music love through child-driven repertoire. With 35+ years teaching public, private, collegiate, and non-profit students, we know they learn best what they love. Outdated lesson books don’t engage; we tailor lessons to favorite movies, books, and songs. Our four yearly recitals feature pop, showtunes, and soundtracks, fueling fast progress through excitement.

We teach both neurotypical and neurodivergent students, including those with ADHD, autism, and dyslexia. We are passionate about fostering music love in all minds, traditional or “extra”-ordinary.

 Meet Our Instructors

  • “We highly recommend Jesse as a music teacher. We had previously worked with 2 other music teachers for our girls before we found Jesse and he is the best music teacher we have ever worked with.  He has been teaching both, violin to our 9 year old and piano to our 7 year old for the past 3 years and they have both learned so much from him.  Jesse’s way of teaching inspires confidence with his kind and patient personality. In addition, Jesse is very easy to work with and has accommodated our schedule when things get busy or even when we have been abroad and in different time zones.  The online portal he has created is extremely user friendly and lets us download and use his recap videos for our daily practice.  Jesse also organizes several recitals each year and it has been wonderful and inspiring to see all his students playing many different instruments from guitar to cello, violin, piano, etc.  We look forward to continue working with Jesse and highly recommend him.”

    "Jesse has been patient and very helpful. I have found the lessons to be educational and fun. And Jesse enjoys chatting about music in general - always a plus."

    "Jesse is a very patient, attentive teacher. I was nervous about starting cello as a 43-year-old adult, but Jesse makes the whole process approachable. I highly recommend Jesse for students of all ages."

    "Jesse is an amazing teacher. I have taken guitar lessons from him. My 11 year old daughter takes guitar/piano lessons from him as well. He is very patient and explains lessons well. He is great about answering any questions we have. I would most definitely recommend him for lessons! (:"

    "The perfect teacher for my daughter. Carefully reviews how to hold the cello, correct technique for bow and tune. Details lesson plans for the week. Has selected sheet music to match my daughter’s interests. She is thrilled."

    "Jesse is a great teacher! He’s working with my daughter for about 2 years and she loves it!"


Dr. “T” Teresa Stewart-Meli

  • "Musicology is a great place to take piano lessons! My daughter has been attending lessons with Dr. Stewart for about two years, and she loves it! She is thriving! Musicology isn't just about learning to play piano. It is SO much more! Dr. Stewart has a great relationship with each one of her students. My daughter loves attending her weekly lesson because she is challenged and given direct and specific feedback. There are several opportunities throughout the semester to compete and/or perform. Dr. Stewart is organized, caring, and she differentiates instruction based on individual levels and specific needs. The piano recitals are put together and engaging. We are just so happy with Musicology and Dr. Stewart. If you are looking for an opportunity and an experience for yourself (or your child) to shine with piano, Musicology is the place for you!"

    "Our son had been taking piano lessons for about five years before we found Musicology. His progress and enthusiasm took off notably after starting lessons with Dr. T. He said that he feels like he is actually learning now, and not just doing drills. Dr. Teresa ensures the students enjoy the lessons and are excited to learn; our son practices at home now without being nagged to do so."

    “Best music lessons in Denton! Our daughter has grown incredibly in her ability to read music and play the piano. She looks forward to practicing with her teacher. The recitals and competitions are so fun! These kids are being built up as musicians and as individuals.”

    “Teresa Stewart Meli is an excellent piano and voice teacher. She's highly educated and has vast experience teaching music. Her studio produces two recitals each year to give students an opportunity to show what they've learned and build their confidence. Teresa is adept at working with neurodivergent students and is incredibly encouraging and positive.”

    “Dr. Teresa is incredibly warm-hearted and enthusiastic about teaching. My son has shown noticeable improvement in a short time and truly enjoys his lessons with her. We are so grateful for her dedication!”
