Music Lessons in Milton, FL. It's your time.

Need some help learning some basic accompanying skills? Anna Francis traveled as a ministry team pianist for two summers and can help you with learning to accompany an instrumental instrument on the piano.

I've been teaching acoustic guitar for 7 years (since I was a teen myself!) and ukulele for about 3. Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to read and play from basic tabs, and as time goes on we can work on songs you pick yourself. I generally don't teach ukulele students to read sheet music unless they ask; this is because in the "real world" of playing musicians, ukulele players almost never use actual sheet music. Students should have and bring their own ukulele. I will work with students ages 6+, but I recommend waiting until the individual student has sufficient hand size/strength to feel comfortable reaching several chord shapes.

I am a master pianist and lessons cover everything from beginner to advanced. Whatever you desire to play, I can teach you!

Learning to play a stringed instrument is one of the toughest things to do and I'm here to help you learn to love the process and feel confident about your playing. I will help you achieve your goals, whether that's trying out for your school orchestra, preparing for a recital, learning new repertoire, or simply learning how to practice more efficiently.

For beginners, I teach from the Suzuki Method books.

Whether you are just getting started or have been playing for years and have found yourself in a rut and want to refresh and do some new things, guitar lessons will help you to set and realize your goals in music.
