About Jonathon
I am a musician and teacher, and I believe both professions require people who are passionate about what they do, patient, and creative. I feel that I score high on all three of those things. I've played and studied music for as long as I can remember, literally. My dad, who's been a musician all his life and played with Bob Seger for a little while in the 60s, taught me from the age of 12. From my teenage years until now I've been involved in a rock/pop band (The Great Fiction) who have recorded five albums, one of which was mixed by Michael Brauer, a mixer who has worked on a couple Coldplay records. And one of the songs we wrote was placed in a Hollywood movie, "The Invisible". I've also been a music teacher for over 8 years and absolutely love seeing kids and adults reach their full potential as musicians. I tailor lessons and my tea
ching approach to each student's individual needs and do whatever is necessary to help them master their craft. I'll never let a student just give up. I'll work with them at his/her pace until both of us feel satisfied with the results. Are you (Is your child) into classical music, contemporary music, or both? I'm passionate about all music styles and have experience playing and teaching most of them.
*** Lesson Details ***
During lessons, students can expect a very laid back and fun environment. I use a variety of lesson materials ranging from traditional to more advanced music theory books, and I create my own tablature sheets for contemporary music using nothing but the naked ear (and I train students to do the same!). After 3 to 6 months, students will be able to read music in intermediate level books and/or play top 10 Billboard hits.
*** Studio Equipment ***
The In-Studio lessons are taught in a separate music room/office which includes guitars, amp, pedals, organ, keyboard. No pets.
2nd Residence: Guitar & piano: living room w seating.
No pets.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I have music stands and additional music books. I expect students to purchase music book used at every lesson and a notebook for taking notes.
*** Specialties ***
Classical piano, contemporary piano and guitar.

About David R.
Close
I teach traditional piano lessons where students learn both classical and popular/rock/jazz styles of playing. I ask students their goals and help them work toward these goals. For example, goals might be:
1. Play classical music well enough to get accepted into a college music program.
2. Play pop/rock songs from the radio.
3. Learn keyboard music for a band.
I'm happy to work with all types of goals, and look forward to helping you enjoy playing.
About David
I am happy to offer piano lessons for beginning to advanced students, and guitar and violin lessons for beginning to upper intermediate students. I teach music in all genres, including pop/rock, classical, ragtime, Broadway, country, jazz, and more - whatever you like best.
I encourage students to learn music they are interested in, and to have fun with lessons, while also making sure that they have strong sight-reading and ear training skills, and a solid classical background.
I am a former K-12 Orchestra, Band, Piano, and Choir Teacher. I taught at the Winans Academy of Performing Arts (Detroit) and Madison Academy (Flint). I hold the equivalent of a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education from the University of Michigan - Flint with piano as primary instrument. I played piano in the MSU Jazz Band and UM-Flint Jazz Band. I was also

I hold the equivalent of a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education from the University of Michigan - Flint with piano as primary instrument. I played piano in the MSU Jazz Band and UM-Flint Jazz Band. I was also
a guitar singer-songleader at Tamarack Camps (Ortonville, MI) for seven summers, and I've played in and taught many string orchestras.
Let me know your musical goals and I will work to help you achieve them.
*** Lesson Details ***
My standard curriculum books are Alfred for Piano, Hal Leonard for Guitar, and Belwin for violin. However, if your preference is to use a different method book or teaching style, I'm happy to adjust to what you would like.
After three to six months, students on piano, violin, or guitar will know proper playing positions, the notes on the musical clefs, most types of notes and rests, and most importantly, they will be able to play at least a few real songs of progressing difficulty. After you've learned the basics, we can find sheet music at the correct difficulty level for some of your favorite songs.
I won't be strict or mad if you are not working to your potential. However, I will let you know one of the most important things about learning an instrument: "no one can practice your instrument for you." You can't even pay someone to do it, because it is impossible to transfer the knowledge. Therefore, it is very important that you work hard and practice in the ways that I will show you in the lessons. Don't worry - you'll be really proud of yourself for working hard and improving your skills.
*** Studio Equipment ***
The In-Studio lessons are taught in the living room with an upright piano, acoustic guitars, violin, and seating available. No pets. Parking on the street.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I can bring method books if necessary, and provide written instructions for practice each week if they would like. The student is expected to provide the instrument.
*** Specialties ***
I am able to teach all styles of piano from classical to pop, beginner to advanced. I am familiar with many methods and can teach according to the students' preference.
I am also able to teach guitar, violin and music recording and music theory in all styles, with many different methods. I own a home studio and use Pro Tools, and I am familiar with Logic Pro and Garageband software.

About Heather P.
Close
I began playing piano at 18 years old as a music major at Macomb Community College. I think I was the only one who was thrilled to be playing piano. I quickly advanced through the 3 group classes and then private lessons. I love teaching piano to students of all levels and all ages.
I teach all levels of piano. I currently use the Alfred books for the first 3 levels of books and then we move to the Snell piano repertoire books for the following levels. I also have many fun solo books for students.
About Heather
I love teaching, simply love teaching! I teach students of all ages. I teach piano, voice, clarinet, and saxophone. I have taught for over 25 years. My students have lots of opportunities for performance, if they choose to. We perform at Nursing Homes, Retirements, Festival of Trees, and Seasonal Recitals. There are at least 2 recitals a year, 1 at Christmas and 1 in the Spring, if enough participation, we often have one in summer with a party afterward. We also participate in the Michigan Music Association competition. I have also had students perform in Disney World in Florida!!! I have been in many musicals such as Annie, Gypsy, Rock Around the Clock. I have put on solo recitals. I am a member of my church choir. My students and I have fun while we are learning music! It is the best job ever.

I
use a variety of curriculum, which includes classical, broadway, some pop, new age, and jazz. After 3 to 6 months you will have a basic understanding of your instrument and will be ready to take off! I do ask students to keep track of your practicing so you can see your progress.
For piano:
I use the Alfred Basic Books for beginners and then we move to the Keith Snell books along with other supplemental books. If a student already is using a book, generally we will finish that book up so they won't have to purchase another set of books.
For Saxophone and Clarinet:
I use the Rubank books along with other supplemental books
For Voice:
I use the 24 Italian Songs and Arias, The Young Singer, and various Broadway books. Any pop music must be purchased by student as there is just way too much to chose from for me to have a lot of it.

About Haley G.

Expect to build a stronger relationship and understanding with music. I am not going to look for perfection. The most important thing is to connect with the music you're playing. Within a few lessons you will see confidence with your instrument grow. The first lesson, we will talk about the goals you are trying to achieve. We'll explore music theory, sight reading, creating original songs, playing by ear, and if you want, we can dive into the modern music industry. How is music made today?
About Haley
I currently teach at the Grosse Pointe Music academy and I am looking to fill some open slots in my morning/mid day schedule. I am a past songwriting music student at DIME. Dime is a new music college in Detroit. I was torn between Berklee and DIME but decided to stay home and pursue a professional music career. I am in a band with three Berklee Students called SIAS. (siasmusic.net) I was classically trained in piano and generally teach the classical method to my students. I have some experience with the Suzuki method as well. I encourage students to play what they want to play. I like to let the students control how they want to spend the lesson time, whether that be time working on their ear training, classical method, singing along, or creating original songs. The most important thing is to have fun and enjoy the musical journey.

"I started taking lessons from Michael about two years ago and I knew hardly anything about playing piano. I knew a few children's songs just by messing ar
ound on the instrument, but nothing further. Michael taught me how to apply music theory to piano so that I know what's going on musically, and know how to play what's going on musically. He's great if you ask me. He's very knowledgeable, yet admits that he himself is still learning and growing."

Heather's teaching style is relaxed yet with the utmost professionalism. She has offered so many techniques to make an
older gal like me learn easier. She communicates in such a way that I understand what I previously thought to be intimidating and difficult to a way that I understand. She is so patient with me, I know how long I am taking to learn even the most simple notes and reading music but she encourages me, she makes me feel confident that (even at my age) I can and will and am learning! I look forward to seeing her each week. I may also take voice lessons from her too soon!"
