Music Lessons for Adults
“My philosophy of teaching music is to make lessons and playing music fulfilling, engaging, and fun. Maybe you ’re an adult who has always wanted to explore piano, guitar, voice, or songwriting for creativity or relaxation. My objective is to help you experience how gratifying it can be to learn music.” Laura Massaro
Are lessons something you have wanted to do your whole life?
- Retirees– learn to play an instrument as a great hobby
- Renew the love and fun of playing an instrument
- It’s never too late to start music lessons
- Playing an instrument is a great stress reliever
- It helps to take your mind off of your daily problems allowing you to escape and create. Feel the sense of accomplishment that comes with learning an instrument. You can play for your friends and family around the campfire, play some songs with your kids, or even start a band. You can write songs, play at church, or play at parties. Your possibilities are limitless.
What Music Students Say:
“I loved how Laura guided the lesson in the direction I wanted. She was very flexible. I learned songs that were more advanced than my level because I really wanted to learn that song. She also entertained my interest in learning music by ear. At the same time, we went through the formal training with the beginner’s song book as well.” – Suzanne X
“Both my daughter and son were blessed to be inspired and taught by Laura Massaro. Laura is in tune with her students and their music and she knows how to kindle their creativity, as well as teach them with technical expertise. Laura’s thoughtful, insightful nature comes through in her teaching tailored for each student. ” Laura S.
“Amazing experience! I went to Laura for guitar lessons. She suggested we try singing. I was hesitant as I believed a had no singing voice. With her enthusiasm and support I have developed a new talent, enjoyment and love for singing, playing and song writing.” Jasen K. Chelsea, MI

What Leaders in the Healing Growth say
“Your songs, your voice and the piano seemed to reach people’s hearts with tenderness.” Jackie C., MSW/Bereavement Coordinator – Hospice of Wayne County
“Her musical ability was masterful…while her voice and instrumentation invited us to open our hearts and minds to life with all its wonderful, difficult moments. I would highly recommend her as an addition to any psycho-spiritual event or as a solo performer in a concert of her own.” – Laurie Pappas, PhD, Metro Detroit Center for Attitudinal Healing, Berkley, MI
What workshop participants and students say about Laura
“My son has really come out of his shell. He has gone from not wanting to be seen on stage to being Harry Potter in the play. Now he is in the choir in his new school that travels all over the state. This confidence has crossed over into other areas as well. He rebounds from “ribbings” much faster now. Thank you Laura for giving him a gift which we could not give. I always knew there was something deep inside David that needed a way out and I think you helped him find that path.” – Tracy M., Ft. Wayne, Indiana
“Excellent depth of knowledge on music and songwriting: provides basis for ability to both ask and answer questions well. Very good preparation for class; it’s taught with high intention and integrity.” Alan Saers, Ann Arbor, MI
