Jansma Music Studio

Cello, piano, and guitar lessons in Ann Arbor

Cello, piano, or electric guitar — pick one to start.Kids, adults, and beginners are all welcome. Having never played before is normal for a first lesson.You’ll come once a week. I’ll create a short practice plan for the days in between (enough to move forward, not a second job).We'll work toward songs you actually want to play. For cello and piano I use the Suzuki Method. Technical exercises show up when they help achieve what we're trying to do.What the first month looks like:
Week 1: get set up, learn how practice works, start a first piece.
Weeks 2–4: once that piece gets comfortable, then we add one or two more so you leave with a small collection you can play.Lesson rates:
30 minutes $40 · 45 minutes $60 · 60 minutes $80
