Janelda Music

The first time we meet is free.  At that time I will give details about my studio and assess how best to teach that student.  Then I suggest music to purchase so we can jump right in.

I have a master's degree in music education from the University of North Texas.  I have many years of experience teaching privately and in schools.

I charge $25 per half hour lesson, $35 per 45 minute lesson, and $50 per hour lesson.  I usually teach beginners half hour lessons.  Hour lessons are reserved for advanced students.

I've been teaching all my life, but have honed my skills throughout the years by education and experience.

I work with all ages and all levels.  I will teach as young as three years old if the student has enough attention span, interest, and fine motor development.  I also enjoy teaching seniors who have some time on their hands and would like to learn to express themselves musically.  On the other end of the spectrum, I love teaching college level students, coaching them to achieve a high level of artistry and technique.

One of my preschool students gave me a big hug and said, "You're a good teacher!"

Look for credentials and experience.  Meet the teacher and assess whether your personalities are compatible.

Why am I wanting to study music?

Am I willing to put some time into this?

What are my goals in learning to play this instrument?
