About

524 Jefferson St SE, Olympia WA 98501

SSO has been open since September 2020 and we have grown to two locations in Olympia, one of which is right in the Capital Mall. We have 9 teachers and cover just about every instrument from ukulele to piano to oboe and the orchestral strings. Reach out to get started!

We believe that we learn music in order to share it with others. In keeping with that we offer several unique performance opportunities for our students throughout the year, including a concert made up of video game and movie music themes.

We are currently working on operating a recording studio space within our building so we can record our students and instructors as well as offer it as a service to local music teachers and studios.

    Our experience with the SSO instructor has been great. Heather is able to adjust her teaching to the students learning style. The kids are making progress and like their teacher very much.
    I thought that parking at SSO was going to be a problem but so far so good. Enrollment and scheduling has been smooth as well. Overall a great experience.

    Wonderful teacher, passionate and patient with my two boys. Shawn is an exceptional teacher.
    My boys started with piano when they were 5 years old, then when they got older, one of them switched to trumpet. Shawn is such a knowledgeable person!

    Frequently asked questions

    Students are given an opportunity to interview and meet with an instructor to make sure that the fit is right. At that time they can ask questions and hopefully set up a schedule to get started. The first lessons are fun as the instructors get to know their student and to develop a pace and expectations with the student. Parents are often involved as well, to make sure that they have a good idea how practicing should be conducted at home. 

    Studies and degrees in piano performance, music composition, vocal performance including opera, bass performance, guitar and ukulele. On top of all of that we have decades of experience working with hundreds of students.

    Lessons are billed at a flat rate each month. We have regular specials as well.

    We each have our own story, but most of us started at a young age with other people in our lives who thought they would like to learn to play. Teaching is a great way to solidify knowledge in yourself as you try to explain ideas to map that idea in someone else's mind. 

    We have worked with students of all ages and abilities. We take on students who are highly skilled and serious in their pursuit of classical performance perfection, as well as the more casual learner or the retiree who wants to keep their own minds sharp. 

    Opening the doors to Sound Studios Olympia was a dream come true. We moved pianos in, set up the spaces, hung the business license on the wall, and got right to work on bringing in new students. We have now over 80 among us and we are open to a whole lot more. 

    Personality is key. Find a teacher who you can get along well with and makes you comfortable. Mistakes will be made, and if you can laugh about them instead of feel self conscious, you will be better off.
