"Hi, I’m a professional pianist, singer, and composer/producer with 20 years of professional work experience, including 13 years of private teaching experience to students of all ages and levels, in many musical styles. I hold a Master of Music in Composition: Media Writing and Production from the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts in Music Composition and Vocal Performance from Messiah University. You can check out my music and reviews at joelbrandon.com.

When you take Piano or Voice lessons from me, you’ll get to learn music that you love while building a solid technical foundation. You’ll get real-world preparation for performing from someone who’s been performing since age 6.

When you take Composition and Production lessons from me, you’ll get to write and produce music that’s expressive and unique to you, while building a strong theoretical and technological foundation.

When you study Music Theory with me, you’ll learn to hear past the technical jargon and connect what’s on the page to what you hear. You’ll master the mathematical and analytical side of theory, as well as the aural and ear-training side. As a kid who hated music theory, I learned to love it once I understood it!" less...
