Do you provide any materials? What should your students expect to bring? Most course materials and accessories are available for purchase at our location. Some instruments are available for purchase. Students are responsible for bringing their instruments and materials to each lesson.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business? The owners, David and Margaret Peterson Harvey, own a recording studio and media production studio in Pearland, Texas, where they also enjoy teaching students of all ages. The opportunity to bring together a group of like-minded, professional musicians and teachers, dedicated to caring for others and spreading the joyful learning of music was a dream come true.

What do you love most about your job? The most exciting thing about being a teacher at Art Music & More is seeing students develop from a tenuous beginning to becoming talented and skilled musicians. With the growth in ability also comes a personal growth for each student, an experience that each teacher is excited and happy to share.
