WHO WE ARE
Founded in 2014 by Amy Rood Miller, Creative Music Lessons is an organization of private music instructors who are committed to the idea that music lessons should be something a student LOOKS FORWARD TO! By combining an adaptive and interactive teaching style coupled with an emphasis on the learning of proper technique, Creative Music Lessons helps students grow their skills, achieve their musical goals, and makes music a fun and exciting experience. Whether you think of music as a hobby, or are aspiring to a life on the stage… utilizing our unique approach, we strive to meet our students where they are and help them get to where they want to go! Music lessons can now be both fun AND productive! Founder Amy Rood Miller has been teaching music privately for the past 18 years and combines both the soft skills of a Music Therapist, with the technical aptitude of a classically-trained performer. She earned her Bachelor’s in Music Therapy from Shenandoah Conservatory and has worked in a variety of settings including preschools, children with autism, hospice care, and children with cancer and blood disorders. Amy also achieved a Master’s in Vocal Performance during her time at Shenandoah, and has sung at numerous renowned venues throughout the U.S. and abroad, including Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and Notre Dame Cathedral. WHAT WE DO
The beauty of our approach lies in its simplicity… By teaching a multitude of musical styles and genres, we find a way to make lessons fun! Teachers will work with the students/parents to put together a realistic educational strategy that will best address their needs and musical goals. Beyond the development of basic technique and the use of student-preferred music, other activities include, but are not limited to… sight-reading, music theory concepts, song writing, audio/video recordings, musical games, and improvisation. Instruments taught: Piano, Voice, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Flute, Trombone, Ukulele, and Mandolin.
