INSTRUCTION

Strawser Music Studio has offered music instruction services in the Athens area for five years, providing a creative and unique approach to piano lessons.

We cover all styles of music, while specializing in modern rock/contemporary Christian, jazz, and classical European tradition repertoire. Our focus is to bring together music of the past and the present, to show their similarities in terms of form and harmony, and analyze the mechanics of harmony and melody in general. We place a strong emphasis on the ability to play by ear, and to guide the student to understand the theory behind what he hears and plays.

Rates are $120 a month for hour-long weekly lessons. Contact us for availability.

Testimonials

Read what other folks have to say about piano lessons:

__________

"I've taken piano lessons from several instructors over the years, but Pat
Strawser helped me accomplish more in the least amount of time. Pat's
unique approach let me learn what I wanted to learn, and at the same time
taught me many of the things I really didn't think that I wanted or needed
to learn. Pat approaches every student differently and really tries to meet
their individual needs and goals."

Dan Sawyer, former student

__________

"Pat is a dedicated and kind piano teacher. My children were eager to learn and were very comforatable with him."

Katina Buffa, parent

__________

"It has been my great pleasure to take the stage with Patrick Strawser. Patrick has an inventive and intelligently informed style and possesses that rare ability to maneuver smoothly through a wide variety of musical landscapes fully realizing whatever vibe a song requires. His infectious spirit challenges and brings out the very best in those around him. He's a real pro!

When it comes to finding a competent keyboard instructor I can confidently recommend Patrick Strawser. Beginner, intermediate or advanced Patrick motivates the student to strive for that illusive blend of knowledge, technique and feel that can only be found in an experienced and accomplished player.

Regardless of style or skill level Patrick will get you where you want to be faster than anyone I know while making the journey interesting and fun. Really, I'm not kidding around here!"

Mike Steele, bass player and instructor, Oconee School of Rock
