About

Serving the Eastern Time Zone, U.S. - Music lessons for all instruments.

At Music101Ohio.com we are a team of dedicated professional music instructors who have a passion for teaching music! Teaching the art of music is our legacy!

Teaching music is our passion, and a family legacy! My father was a college and high school music teacher, who began his professional teaching journey in the 1940's. He was an exceptional professional who passed the torch. Our family and specialized teaching team still carries this passion through today. We don't just "teach" music, we help find the spark in each and every student we have the privilege to meet and teach. During your journey with us, our mission is to share the gift of music and the language of music, and help you to then also spread the joy of music. "Music - Pass it on!"

    Candice is an excellent teacher. She is a gifted performer in her own right and will get those who have gone off the rails back on track. She is able to see abilities others dont or cant and pull them out of you so you dont even notice its happening. If you do your part practice, practice, practice trust her wisdom all will be well with you.

    Frequently asked questions

    Although we teach in-person, we are also an ONLINE DISTANCE LEARNING MUSIC SCHOOL SUITABLE FOR ALL AGES. *We offer 4 week initial minimum enrollment with no registration fees, a secure online payment service, and easy renewal option.

    We teach all elements of music education: Music reading and literacy, solid technical foundation, the study of a wide range of repertoire, study of music theory, and performance goals. For very young students age 4+ we assess for minimum 20 minute focus and discover their knowledge of basic A-B-C's and 1-2-3's and other educational milestones that make them ready to learn music, and fingerings (*we then start pre-readers accordingly). We help unlock each students musical potential, introduce musical concepts. The study of music helps strengthen creativity, focus and concentration and helps build self-esteem. In all ages the teacher will identify unique strengths and needs in order to develop a fitted course curriculum plan accordingly.

    We teach all levels of Adult learners (beginner through Advanced). Our Pro instructors, include Master and Doctrate level teachers, ready to instruct beginners through college levels.

    I began teaching privately during music college, in early 1980s. I have been both a teacher and a professional performing musician for over 30 years  (toured 22+ years opening for major recording artists and professional shows). I am now also the music ministry leader for a large local Christian church. I teach privately, and am the owner of these 2 local music stores (www.music101ohio.com). My father was both a professional performing artist and a high school and college music teacher. Music education and performance is our family legacy. I love to teach music, and appreciate the opportunity to serve.

    All ages 4 to 90! Many of my prior students went on to be public and private school music teachers, college music teachers, professional musicians, or are currently enjoying playing music in churches, or for private enjoyment and enrichment, play in community groups, and more.

    We enjoy watching our string and instrumental students perform in YSYO (*Youngstown Symphony Youth Orchestra).

    Also: We are proud of our many talented students who just performed in the annual Music 101 Winter recital, hosted by our community Church!

    Our Team of Professional Music Teachers, along with some of our students participate in an annual City Parade - and we are very proud of the music we play on our "award winning" floats! These type of community events help involve our students and teacher teams, and provide our community with a fun event, where we and our students can entertain!

    Choose a teacher who meets your unique needs and goals. Do not accept a teacher who can not teach you to read and understand music, as well as play and perform. Music literacy is vital and should include you learning various styles of music you enjoy. Look for a well rounded teacher, then have fun learning and growing in your musical journey together!

    Everyone has unique goals, time requirements, etc. -  so be sure to make your needs known. Share! As a teacher I love to hear about what my students goals are. Years ago one male student wanted to learn to sing, in order to perform a song to ask his girlfriend to marry him! I have students who want to play in a school talent show, try out for a local or college theater shows, or audition for music school. Perhaps you just want to be a better player, study jazz, music theory and composition. I have met older adults who study music with the goal of preventing memory loss, improving motor skills, wanting to ward-off arthritis, or just to learn a new hobby (bucket list). Some parents bring their special needs child for music lessons to help improve focus and concentration. The study of Music is a discipline. Whatever your reason for wanting to study music, don’t be shy to share your needs and goals. Whether your goals are to become a performer, or are more personal self-improvement, or just seeking enjoyment, a new hobby, learning music for health and wellness - we are here to help. All people are equally unique. Ask whoever you choose as your private instructor what they can do to help you toward your specific and unique goals.
