At L.M.J. Music we offer a comfortable and natural learning environment. Our teaching studio is climate controlled. Students can experience the pleasures of playing on an acoustic piano, digital piano, or electronic keyboards.
Program
We teach Theory and Technique alongside of learning individual pieces, emphasizing the fundamentals of music. Also, exploration and creativity are encouraged. Students explore music on their own and make up their own. We use a series of books from Alfred's Basic Piano Library that stresses intervallic reading of notes and individual note reading. In addition, it covers a variety of styles from folk to classical and pop. Students learn to play for fun, learn at own pace, and acquire fundamentals of music, and skills for further use, understanding, and enjoyment of music.
Students attend regular 1/2 hour private lessons once a week. Students are enrolled in lessons during the school year from September through June. Lessons are held on weekday evenings from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. all year round. Other arrangements may be possible. Options are available for Students wishing to pursue their studies during the summer.
Our teacher Lisa M. Jones has been teaching since 1993!

Purchasing a Keyboard?
If you are planning on purchasing a keyboard there are a few things to consider:
Own an Acoustic Piano?
How long has it been since it has been tuned? An Acoustic piano must be tuned at least once a year!

Why do we suggest starting piano lessons at the age of 6?
In order to begin piano lessons the child must know something about reading, recognizing numbers 1 through 5, know Alphabet letters A through G, know something about taking direction, and must be able to sit still for about 10-15 minutes while focusing. A small child has a short attention span, the younger the child when beginning lessons, the more involved the parent will have to be with actively helping out with practice time.
