Groovemaster’s Music Lessons

With Heather as my piano teacher I went from knowing next to nothing about the piano, reading music and music theory to being a confident beginner pianist. Heather started me off with very simple songs to play, but also with a good dose of music theory, allowing me to understand why and how music works. I’ve been taking lessons with Heather for the last few years and I still have a lot to learn, but now I’ve reached a point where Heather allows me to explore the music and lessons I’d like to pursue. I found Heather’s style of teaching to be attentive and focused on the needs of her student. Heather is a wonderful and knowledgeable music teacher, not to mention a great person. I highly recommend her.

Let me start off by saying that I am an older student 45 and am so glad I reconnected with heather. I went to other bass teachers who immediately started teaching me songs (lazy asses) mixed in with theory related to the song never mind if it needs to be played in a different key sorry let me get off that train. Back to heather she listens to what you want and teaches scales, rhythm, theory and reading music the hour literally flys by. She teaches me bass but she also plays other instruments so if you want to learn how to play more than just a few songs definitely take lessons from groovemaster (heather) I honestly can not say enough good things about her you will get a great joy of music from her as well. I do not think there is a genre she is not knowledgeable of I brought in some gospel cd’s and she was like I love his playing this is a great cd WOW talk about musical knowledge

Heather is a great music teacher. I had multiple false starts with learning guitar — mostly with teachers who were happy to teach me how to play a song but who left me with nothing to work with but the chords to that particular tune. With Heather it was completely different. If you are a beginner as I was, Heather will start you at the beginning: the major scales, the circle of fifths and chord progressions, and at the same time site reading music. She knows the importance of not skipping steps and she knows music very well. I always look forward to our lessons.

I am 30 years of age and have never taken up an instrument before, ever!
I finally decide to try and couldn’t have signed up with anyone better. Heather is a music «G», she knows her stuff! She makes me feel absolutely comfortable with her encouragement and teaching. I go in every week to show her what she’s assigned me to practice, she tells me «great job» and gives me a high five, then we are on to the next thing. If I stumble, she’s there to help me out, and I don’t feel embarrassed. It’s pretty exciting to progress with my instrument, the ukulele.

I took music lessons as a kid and experienced the typical angst about practicing, wallowing in mediocrity, and offending the ears of the musically gifted, including my teachers. Many years later, I am having an entirely different experience at Groovemaster’s. Here, under the gentle and genuinely enthusiastic tutelage of Heather Kerrihard, I fell downright entitled to make music, dammit. An incredibly versatile instructor, Heather shares her infectious love of music with students of all ages, and seems to know, and appreciate every song ever written by anyone. I’d recommend Groovemaster’s to anyone hoping to study music and feel good about it.
