About

Hello, My name is Susanna Grant, and I have a private, home music school in Fort Worth, TX in the Wycliff/TCU area..

Thank you for checking this profile out!

I am in the process of updating this info. for the Fall 2024-25 semester. In the meantime, I hope this quick introduction will give you sufficient information to get us started.

Please call or text me at 817-880-5292, and we can talk about your music and how best to move forward. If we think we're a good music match, we can schedule a complimentary lesson. If we're not the ideal match, I am happy to refer you to a teacher from my peers.

"Discover the music in you!"

Susanna

    We have taken lessons with her through two kids. She knows how to adjust when kids have different learning styles and makes it so much fun for the kids. Both of my kids love taking lessons with her and learned so much!

    Frequently asked questions

    The first lesson starts with learning the names of all the black and white keys, and which way on the piano is up, down, high, and low. We learn a simple song to play the C scale and usally learn Twinkle Twinkle Little Star as it's fun to play, uses all the fingers, and feels good to know a song after the very first lesson!

    Yes, a $150 flat monthly rate, due by the 7th of each month, is the standard basic plan.

    This rate guarantees four 30-45 minute private, weekly lessons in a month. There is no additional charge for months that include a fifth lesson. 

    A registration fee of $50 purchases the students first books and materials.

    A basic lesson time and day are scheduled, but I do work with students around one extracurricular sport per season as long as practice/progress is maintained and notice is given.

    All lessons include theory and ear training.

    I was working part time as a youth leader/administrator for my church when a former piano teacher of mine called and asked if I would teach piano at his studio. My first career was as a social worker and it had never occurred to me to teach piano. With his encouragement and, then, with new study with a teacher of pedagogy I soon discovered that I love teaching. This teacher now primarily performs and composes and I have my own studio! No one was more surprised than I!

    All ages.

    "Gifted and talented", "learning difference". I love to work with students diagnosed with "ADD" as learning piano really develops focus techniques!

    I speak and understand some Spanish and enjoy learning more with my Spanish speaking students.

    Teaching senior citizens is fun too! The only problem is adults always - always - think they should be doing better than they are!  

    The last Friday Night Live (FNL!) dinner recital party we had before Covid-19 was amazing! Everyone was so excited to play their Christmas songs, and the families all seemed to know each other, even though they didn't. I believe it was the shared experience of  being together to celebrate their children and the music of the season and God's love that made it such a joyful music dinner party! 

    My first thought is that the student and the teacher should be able to communicate together well, enjoy working together, and celebrate the successes as important to both of them. 

    1. What education/experience teaching does the teacher have?

    2. How will we study together?

    3. What do you expect of me in practice? in performance?
