Music Lessons in Galena, OH

Instruments: Piano Voice

I normally start out with the Faber and Faber Piano Adventures methods books for the piano students. This includes a lesson book and a theory book. The lesson book will teach the student the physical skill of playing piano by presenting them with leveled songs to learn. The theory book will focus more on the mechanics of music and playing and require some written work. These two methods work very well together to give the student a comprehensive experience with the piano. Read More

I set realistic goals for all of my students to progress their education while at the same time letting them stay inspired. I take a big initiative to find out what kind of music my students listen to as well as what inspires them. By knowing a students musical preference and learning style it helps me be more successful teaching them. We will track their development and we'll acknowledge accomplishments! Read More

I'm a 20 college student majoring at finance but with a passion for guitar. I've been playing since I was ten years old and teaching since I was 17. I've had great success with the students who truly want to learn and have found it to be less and less challenging to get the students passionate about playing as well. This is the key in practicing and I feel that many teachers overlook that fact. Read More

I began teaching years ago and have pursued it off and on over the years. I have taught in students homes as well as my own home. I encourage everyone to try to learn an instrument as an outlet for creativity. Practice is as deep as you want to make it, but if you are looking for serious improvement and development I suggest at least 30-60 min a day. However, any amount of playing and practicing is encouraged! Read More

Hello! My name is Alec. I fell in love with the piano when I began taking lessons at 7 years old, and Ive been enjoying the instrument ever since!

I was eventually hired to play regularly for a local church when I was 14, and by the time I was a senior in high school, I was playing for 3 churches in town regularly juggling multiple services some weekends.
