We are an Official Family Safety Plan Music School!
In order to keep our students, staff, and teachers safe, we have implemented the Family Safety Plan in our school! This includes glass windows on lesson rooms to foster transparency between teachers and parents, requiring extensive background checks(including state and national background checks and a national sex offender background check) of all of our teachers and staff, security cameras in all rooms, and an open-door policy for parents, which means that they’re always invited to sit in on their child’s lesson.

Early Morning and Lunchtime Lessons for Homeschoolers, Retirees, College Students and Working Professionals.
If you are a homeschool parent, retiree, college student or working professional who has a flexible schedule, take advantage of our early morning and lunchtime lesson spots. We offer lessons as early as 9 a.m. and are also available for students between the hours of 11 a.m.- 2 p.m.
Recitals in State-of-the Art Facilities
Every parent just wants to know how their child is doing and if they are really progressing. The best way for a parent to understand if their investment in lessons is really worth it, is to have their child participate in a recital.
In May and December many of our students choose to perform in our biannual recitals. We hold our recitals in state-of-the art facilities on grand pianos followed by a reception.
06
Musical Meet-Ups
In an effort to strengthen our music school community and broaden our students' exposure to diverse music styles, student, parents, and staff often meet-up to enjoy the symphony and other musical performances together.
07
Month to Month Lessons
SSM does not require semester minimums for lessons. Every student here is on a month-to-month basis.
08
Partnership with England Piano
We partner with England Piano in Atlanta to provide our students with high-quality, affordable options for pianos. Ask us about our partnership with England Piano.

Meet the Director
The ability to play an instrument or sing beautifully offers a lifetime of benefits. Music lessons also foster a student’s personal, social, and academic development. As a veteran K-12 educator, university teacher educator, and classically trained pianist, I am committed to ensuring our students are provided high-quality music instruction from caring and competent faculty in an uplifting environment designed to foster creativity, confidence and joy.
At Soundscapes, we make it our mission to help our students explore and develop their talents, wherever their curiosity and interests lead them.
