Music Lessons with Lynda MacNeil


Lynda

I offer private lessons in piano, voice, and music theory to students of all ages in your home or online. In the spirit of fun, I guide students to their goals, combining fundamentals of music knowledge with practical application, using relatable material.

Music is my lifelong passion, and I've been fortunate to share it with others through teaching. My proudest achievement is inspiring students with a love for music.

As a result of taking my classes, you will successfully:
• achieve your personal goals in your music journey
• gain a feeling, authority, and confidence in your music • learn traditional and current pieces from many different genres
• explore improvisation, composing, and arranging
• master the basics of Scales, Chords, Music Reading, Ear Training, and Music Theory

Instead of formal recitals, I host piano parties with food, chocolate, and hula hoops! Students are offered performance opportunities at Celtic Moon shows, Retirement Communities, and local restaurants.

Music Lessons with Verlene Schermer


I offer private lessons in voice, harp, guitar, piano, violin, nyckelharpa, mandolin, ukulele, music theory, songwriting, and composing.

I believe that everyone can learn, and that each one has their own unique formula for learning. In your private lessons, we work together to discover your individual learning style.

Send me a message if you are interested in private lessons, either in person in my San Jose studio, or on Zoom from the comfort of your own home!

I also teach online workshops 2 - 4 times a month. Many of the workshops are for lever or pedal harp, but some are for singers, guitarists, or any instrumentalist. See my current workshop schedule!

You can read more about my workshops and my private instruction philosophy here on my website.

Here are some comments from students:

"I learn more about music theory with each class that helps me understand the structure of  the music that I have been playing for many years."

"Thank you for every bit of this. You are a really fine teacher. Excellence and empathy are a winning combination."
