    About Brenda R.

    My first piano lessons began at a young age, and I have been playing ever since. I have performed in recitals and talent shows, and have played for church services throughout my life. I received an Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education from Anderson University, and a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education at Central Michigan University. After teaching Preschool, and then K-12 music in public and private schools, as well as K-4 classroom teaching, I have now retired. I began teaching private piano before college, and have continued in my own studio, as well as in the students' homes. For the past two and a half years I have taught online, and this is now my primary teaching platform. I have taught children as young as 3 years of age with happy success, through seniors, also with happy success. I enjoy working with beginners, but have taught all levels through advanced. My students have performed in recitals, school and church performances, and one even played for tourists at a castle in Europe. So whether you want to play on the concert stage, for church, your family or just yourself, I can help you reach your goals of playing and enjoying music. While you will learn music theory and technic, I am open to working with you in the styles of your choice. Classical to rock, folk, country, hymns to jazz, I love music of all styles.

    I have really enjoyed taking lessons with Miss Raney! I have learned so much and am so grateful for her knowledge and teaching techniques.

    I'm pleased with the lesson despite difficulties with the connection.

    Miss Brenda taught our four (very different) children piano at our home for 12 years. From novel beginner to natural expertise, Miss Brenda was both highly skilled and adaptable as she crafted individual weekly lessons for ages six to sixteen. Instruction, practice, and rehearsals were professionally structured and delivered. Miss Brenda's expertise in working with both children and teens can't be beat!
