Music House School of Music Overland Park
Joel Stratton’s love for music first blossomed as a young boy wheeling a comically large upright bass between fireside jam sessions at the Walnut Valley Bluegrass Festival in Winfield, KS. As he grew in stature, so too did his appetite for American music in its many forms. Joel graduated with a degree in Jazz Studies from UMKC, studying improvisation and composition with nationally renowned artists such as Bobby Watson and Bob Bowman. After several years of playing multiple nights a week at KC’s premiere jazz venues, Joel turned his sights to writing songs of his own, culminating in a 2019 EP titled All the Same under the moniker Tropic of Leo. He can currently be seen performing throughout the Midwest with folk-rock heartbreaker Daniel Gum.

Music House School of Music Overland Park
Music House School of Music is far more than just a place to take music lessons in Overland Park, Lenexa, Prairie Village & Olathe. We're a community founded and operated by professional musicians and teachers. We built the school around the belief that musical passion and advancement thrives within a vibrant community, through diverse exposure and interaction. Private music lessons simply aren't enough. That's why Music House, in addition to private lesson instruction, offers a world of performance opportunities, group classes, rock bands & specialized ensembles, and a diverse catalog of free weekend music classes. And that's why we've grown into a community of over 800 students and over 30 teachers and administrators with locations in Overland Park, Lenexa, & Prairie Village. Most of us have memories of less-than-engaging music lessons. We do music education in a different way that constantly excites and intrigues students. Our students – backed by a team of collaborative, experienced instructors – play together, perform onstage, and become a part of something bigger than themselves.
