Welcome to Mohawk Music Academy!
I'm Craig Headley, a 69-year-old lifelong musician, composer, lyricist, and now—a dedicated and enthusiastic teacher.
With university training in music performance, composition, theory, and education, I've spent decades on stage and behind the scenes: performing live, writing original music, engineering audio, and producing media projects that brought stories to life through sound.
Now, I'm pouring all that experience into something even more rewarding—helping YOU discover (or rediscover) the joy of making music.
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced musician,
at Mohawk Music Academy, lessons are built around what matters most to you:
Live performance skills & confident stage presence
Concert etiquette & professional rehearsal habits
Expressing yourself musically with heart and soul
Collaborating creatively with others
Composition & songwriting from the ground up
Modern music production techniques
Currently, I am teaching piano (including electronic keyboards), trumpet, saxophone, guitar, bass guitar, and voice—for students aged 10 to 100 (yes, really—music has no expiration date!).
Using a professional software recording suite, I capture your progress, celebrate your wins, and teach real-world recording skills along the way.
My teaching style? Positive, encouraging, and fun-first. No judgment, just growth, laughter, and those magical "aha!" moments when everything clicks.
Whether you're picking up an instrument for the first time, returning after years away, or sharpening skills for the next gig—there's a place for you here.
Message me to chat about lessons, your goals, and how we can get started!
See you soon at Mohawk Music Academy!
