Mike McClean Music

Now accepting new students for 30-60min private, in-home piano lessons. No need to drive, I will come to you!

8+ years music teaching
B.A. in Music from Sonoma State University
15+ years working with children

Mission:
Music is an investment in education. Active listening to and performance of music has been shown to tremendously impact learning and development by simultaneously engaging multiple areas of the brain. Rates:
$30 per 30min lesson
$50 per 60min lesson

Method:
My teaching method focuses on theory and sight reading, encouraging students to explore their own interests, finding and learning sheet music that appeals to them outside of regular study. I feel that my lessons should eventually work me out of a job, providing the tools and knowledge to empower my students to pursue their own growth and learning beyond my guidance. About Me:
I have has been playing piano for more than 20 years and first began teaching in 2008, while pursuing a Bachelors degree in the North San Francisco Bay Area. I completed my degree in 2013 and now live in Essex County, Massachusetts. For many years, I travelled to schools and homes throughout Sonoma County, offering group and private piano instruction to children and adults of all ages. These days, I am independently exploring jazz piano, expanding on my classical training with chord voicing, accompaniment, and improvisation. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I look forward to working with you!
