Jansma Music Studio

Cello, piano, and guitar lessons in Ann Arbor

Choose cello, piano, or electric guitar to start.Whether you’re a kid, an adult, or someone who has never touched the instrument, you’re in the right place. Starting from zero is normal.Lessons are weekly. We'll cover new material and review older material, and I’ll write a short practice plan for the days between; enough to keep moving, not to take over your week.We'll aim at music you actually want to play. On cello and piano I teach with the Suzuki Method, and technical work only shows up when it helps expression.
What the first month looks like:
Week 1: Introduction to the instrument, clarifying your goals, getting a practice routine in place, and starting a first piece.
Weeks 2 – 4: Once that piece settles, we'll add one or two more so you have a handful of pieces you enjoy.Lesson rates: 30 min $40 · 45 min $60 · 60 min $80
