Inspiring a Lifelong Love of the Piano, from First Notes to the Concert Stage.
Dedicated, individualized instruction led by Dr. Marjorie Lee
For more than 40 years, Dr. Marjorie Lee has been a cornerstone of Northern Virginia’s musical community. From her Vienna studio on Park Street, she has guided generations of students—helping young beginners discover the joy of making music, mentoring intermediate players through foundational milestones, and coaching dedicated artists toward top honors at state, national, and international stages.
While Dr. Lee’s students have gone on to prestigious institutions including Juilliard, the New England Conservatory, Harvard, and Yale, her teaching philosophy begins with meeting each student exactly where they are. Whether a child is sitting at the keyboard for the very first time or preparing advanced repertoire, lessons are centered on solid physical technique, artistic expression, and a supportive, encouraging environment.
"Why Families Choose Our Studio"
For over four decades, Dr. Marjorie Lee has poured her heart into mentoring young musicians and supporting studio families, fostering an encouraging environment where students build lasting artistic discipline and confidence. Conveniently located on Park Street in Vienna, the studio provides an accessible, central musical home for families across Northern Virginia, including Tysons, Oakton, and Fairfax. At the helm of a multi-generational musical tradition, she leads Lee Music Studios alongside her husband, Kenneth, and their children, who bring deep conservatory training and decades of combined expertise in piano, clarinet, and trumpet instruction.
