Musicologie is Coming Soon to Lakeway

Plus plenty of ways to give back to the community

Today’s current water level: 82.6%

The Trust That Built a Town. Lakeway’s story has always been one of giving. Long before the marinas and boutiques, a handful of neighbors came together in 1964 to create the Lakeway Civic Corporation - not to make money, but to give it back. They built a trust that would quietly fund the town’s future, setting aside a slice of every lot sold to support parks, civic projects, and volunteer efforts. The principal was untouchable, but the impact? Anything but.

That same neighborly spirit is alive and well - proof that Lake Travis isn’t just a place, it’s a community stitched together by care.

Earlier this week, we learned that one of our neighbors recently lost their home in a devastating fire, and the community is already rallying to help them rebuild. If you’re able to lend a hand - big or small - you can visit this link to learn more.

This week’s lineup offers plenty of other ways to give back to our community.

A New Rhythm in Lakeway. There’s a new sound coming to town this November, and it’s all about helping kids (and adults) find their rhythm in music and in life.

Inspired by Purpose. Meet Musicologie, a new music school owned by parents who understand that learning an instrument is about more than just notes on a page. Owners Jeff and Kelli Franco (and parents of two daughters) wanted to create a place where children can grow confidence, creativity, and connection through the joy of music.

Every Age and Stage. Musicologie teaches everyone - from six-month-old babies to adults. Every instructor completes a proprietary certification program, ensuring lessons are not just effective, but engaging and age-appropriate.

Learning That Feels Like Play. At its heart, the Musicologie Method is play-based and positive, creating a supportive environment where students feel safe to explore and discover their own musical talent.

Grand Opening + Early Perks. The studio officially opens November 16th, and early birds can take advantage of the Founders Presale, which includes 12 months of locked-in pricing, priority scheduling, and even a chance to win one year of free lessons.

Don’t Miss A Beat. Learn more or join the presale here.
