🎶 The Symphony of Life Begins at Home

🎹 Sarah Kurtz's Story: From YMCA Keys to Colorado Springs' Musical Revolution
Ever catch yourself singing in the shower or wishing you could play along with your favorite songs? That inner musician lives in all of us. Some dream of finally learning piano, while others hear old lesson books calling from dusty shelves, wondering if it's time to try again.
Sarah Kurtz, founder of Home Musicology, understands this pull toward music. In a family without musical roots, she was the determined second-grader who begged for piano lessons. Starting at the YMCA, even without a piano at home, she practiced whenever she could, driven by an inexplicable love for music. That early passion blossomed into a lifelong journey…years of lessons, church performances, accompanying singers, and sharing her gift through teaching.
Reminiscent of the dedication seen in Mr. Holland’s Opus, Sarah’s mission is to help others discover their own musical journey. Now, she and her team of instructors bring that devotedness and joy into homes across the Pikes Peak region. They transform living rooms into personal music studios for piano, guitar, drums, voice lessons, and more. Each teacher shares Sarah's belief that music isn't just about learning notes, it's about discovering a voice you never knew you had.
Recently, watching her students perform at Bonaventure Assisted Living, Sarah saw her own childhood joy reflected in their faces, the pure delight of creating something beautiful through music. It's never too late to start that journey or to return to it. Also makes perfect gifts!
Ready to unleash your inner musician? Home Musicology is offering our readers half-price on your first lesson to help you take that first step. Just mention this article when scheduling!
