My name is Eoin Murphy, and I am a musician, producer, and songwriter based out of Philadelphia, PA. My musical journey began at a very young age, I began playing drums at age 3 and then shortly followed them up with piano and guitar. I attended the University of the Arts in Philadelphia where I received a BFA in Guitar Performance with a minor in MBET (Music Business, Entrepreneurship, and Technology.) Since graduating UArts in 2018, I have enjoyed a flourishing career as a touring musician as well as producer for many artists across all genres. I have toured extensively in the states and worked with numerous high profile artists, some of these artists include Philly hip hop legend Beanie Segal, Grammy nominated vocalist Avery Wilson, the legendary Harold Melvin Estate, and up and coming R&B artist N3WYRKLA. When not touring I can be found working on my own music or lending a hand in the projects of some of my fellow musicians/friends such as TreWay & The Now Generation, StarDestroyers, and Tuck Ryan. When it comes to teaching I truly believe that fun is the greatest motivator to learn a new instrument, and want to create an environment where the student is genuinely excited to learn and...Learn More About Eoin!
Teaches: Voice, Guitar, Bass, Piano, Ukulele, Violin, Trombone, Trumpet, Saxophone, Clarinet, & More
I am a Pennsylvania state-certified music teacher (PK–12) with a degree in Music Education from Kutztown University ('25) and a strong background in both performance and directing. Trombone has been my primary instrument my whole life, with voice as a close second. I’ve had the privilege of performing in and directing choirs, concert bands, and theatrical productions. My experience in music directing and performing for theater has deepened my appreciation for how performance, storytelling, and musicianship intertwine, and I enjoy bringing that same creativity into my lessons. As a teacher, I believe music should be both educational and fun. My goal is to...Learn More About Natalie!
Teaches: Guitar, Electric Bass, Piano, Ukulele, Upright Bass, Songwriting, & Music Production
I started playing guitar at age 12 inspired by Nirvana like a lot of kids around my age. In high school I joined the marching band(which had rock instruments playing on the sidelines) and when it came time for concert band season, I had to choose a more traditional instrument, so I chose the upright bass. From there I was exposed to jazz and classical music and really enjoyed it. I joined every possible music ensemble in high school and that led me to go to college for jazz performance.
Studying at University of the Arts was one of my greatest life experiences. I felt so at home being surrounded by the arts and artists, taking classes on the most specific and obscure topics. I met many of the people I still make music with there and I was able to play in bands, go on tours and produce music for other artists with the skills and connections I made there. Now I focus primarily on teaching as I've found it's one of the most rewarding aspects of music. I love getting people excited about music and contouring the lessons based on their interests and needs. I try to educate through the music they love and try to show them as much as I can about the inner workings and traditions of music so they can feel confident...Learn More About Steve!

Very professional and responsive to new students. Sienna and Lizzy were very helpful and Mariah was a fantastic, personable teacher! As a teacher of music myself, I would highly recommend!
“He makes me want to be the best”
Learning an instrument as an adult can be a humbling experience! Rich is an attentive and helpful teacher. He gets me to laugh at myself when I’m taking myself too seriously and then gently pushes me to get back to work. He makes me want to be the best drummer I can be.

Highly recommend! Staff is friendly and helpful. Rates are very reasonable. Every teacher greets each student with a warm smile.
“They’re people who live for music and are great at teaching it…”
I’ve been a student here for a year or so. They have been enjoying great success, and for good reason. They’re people who live for music and are great at teaching it. I can now say that I’ve attempted Don’t Stop Believing in C in front of a crowd of people!
