Creating lifelong musicians.

A note from your teacher.

The piano and violin are among the most cherished and sought-after instruments, and it’s common for families to seek lessons for both within the same household. With Michelle Alley Music Academy, you have the unique opportunity to learn both the violin and piano from a single instructor, ensuring a cohesive and comprehensive learning experience.  I offer individual and group lessons with music instruction tailored to your needs and learning style.

Quick FAQs

What age do I teach?

I teach formal lessons to ages 7 to adults, but depending your child, I will start formal lessons earlier if your child is ready. I also teach an introductory music class for ages 3 to 6 that includes games, singing, exploring instruments, and music notation.

Can you learn as an older teen or adult?

Your ability to learn how to play an instrument continues into adulthood. Ability isn’t the question, time is a more relevant issue when it comes to learning to play an instrument as an adult. Your lessons may differ to that of an early learner with more ability to self-teach as instruction and terms become easier to follow. There is no limit to how much you can learn or how far you’d like to take your new musical talent.

What will lessons look like for my child?

Each lesson is tailored to meet the unique needs of each student, following specific steps to ensure the highest quality experience. The first five minutes are dedicated to reviewing the student’s progress and evaluating the effectiveness of the previous week’s lesson. This session serves as a foundation for planning the current lesson while assessing what the student requires. Students then engage in playing and refining their skills, ensuring they can confidently perform the pieces they practiced throughout the week, with progress tracked book by book according to the lesson plan. Finally, a personalized lesson plan is developed during the session, detailing precise exercises, techniques, theoretical concepts, musical selections, and practice time to guide students during their independent practice at home.

Where are lessons held?

Lessons are held at my Southern New Hampshire home music studio. If you are not local, please contact me and we will set-up weekly online lessons you can do from your own home.
