    About Alec W.

    Children deserve lessons that are customized and focused on their goals! Hi! I am Alec, a piano instructor and experienced music composer based in South Orange County. My purpose on this earth is to serve our future generation and introduce them to the world of music. I now give back to my own students this great gift of music. Within the first few lessons, my students learn how to: (1) Cultivate a Love of Music and Piano (2) Effectively Read Notes (3) Fluidly Use Both Hands (4) Impress Friends and Family With Their Favorite Song ---- My Background ---- Meet Alec Weesner; a Christian, Music Composer for Video-Games, and Piano Instructor in the Southern Orange County Area. For over 15 years, I has been instructed by master piano tutors, such as Tiiu Marie Jankowski and Steve Schmidt. These instructors have passed on and taught me the piano and specific teaching skills needed to instruct both children and adult students. I now return the favor to my own students. I graduated California State University Fullerton with a Bachelor's in Business Marketing. I am also founder and host of Music Design, a video series analyzing video-game music and uncovering the techniques and tricks the great composers of the past have put into their songs. Whether you are a parent with a child who wishes to learn the piano, a developer with a game without music, or anyone else who just needs some advice, I am eager to help you achieve your goals.

    From the first time Alec met my grandson he was understanding, encouraging, extremely patient and knowledgeable. The next lesson assignments were clearly written out with the expectation that time would be allowed for daily practice. Thank you, Alec
