Kay M. says, "EXCELLENT! I am truly Greatful for my child to be under the instruction of Mr. Derrickson. My 10 year old daughter has studied piano under Mr. John Derrickson at Miami Valley Music Instruction for over three years, and the growth has been remarkable. She was completely new in learning this instrument. Under his guidance, she is learning to become fluent in reading music, can sing while playing, and receives valuable lessons on the history and origins of the music she performs. Mr. Derrickson is more than an instructor he is a gifted educator who creates meaningful challenges, motivates his students to give their best, and truly aims for their success. Because of his guidance, my daughter has performed at schools, churches, and community events receiving standing ovations, repeated invitations, and even monetary gifts from appreciative audiences. Adding voice lessons this past year has expanded her knowledge and given her even greater confidence in performing before large crowds. I am truly grateful for this phenomenal teacher who is patient and continues to guide and inspire my daughter, not only in the art of music but also in developing self-confidence and professionalism. I highly recommend Mr. Derrickson for anyone seeking exceptional, inspiring music instruction. Thank you!!"See more

Thomas W. says, "I’ve really enjoyed the lessons so far, and there’s a reason I chose Harrison as my teacher. I looked at a lot of other methods and teachers, but many of them felt like the same traditional approaches that never really resonated with me. Harrison’s approach was completely different and immediately stood out. He simplifies things in a way I didn’t even know was possible on the piano. I studied piano for several years as a kid, but the traditional, laborious way of learning is honestly why I never got back into it. Harrison has a completely different perspective from any piano teacher I’ve had before. After just one introductory lesson, I already felt like I had grown as a musician. He quickly identified where I should start, and even that small amount of guidance made a big difference. One of the biggest things for me was learning to play by ear. We learned ‘Amazing Grace’ by ear right away, which I had never experienced in piano lessons before. For someone with musical experience who wants to become a better musician and songwriter, ear training is essential. That really resonated with me. I do want to learn to read sheet music, but ultimately I’m here to develop as a musician. Training my ear and using the piano as a tool to write music is more important to me than just playing notes, and Harrison’s approach aligns perfectly with that."See more

I am a professional piano teacher with over 20 years of experience. I hold a Bachelor of Music degree in Piano and organ and have taught at distinguished institutions such as the Columbus Conservatory of Piano and Wittenberg University. I now run my own private studio, offering both in-person lessons in Beavercreek and Fairborn, as well as online lessons via ZOOM. I have extensive experience teaching students of all ages and skill levels, from beginners to advanced pianists. My teaching approach is relaxed yet focused, ensuring progress in each lesson while nurturing a love of music. I prepare students for recitals, contests, and college auditions, but also welcome those who wish to learn piano purely for their enjoyment. My lessons cover a wide range of styles, including classical, jazz, pop, and sacred music. I place a strong emphasis on reading music, playing with expression, and building a solid foundation in music theory. I am confident that my teaching style and experience would be a good fit for you or your child. Lessons are $25 for a half-hour session.See more
