Jackie Johnson
About
With 35 years of professional playing in Chicago and LA, my passion for teaching has been a constant. Each student, young or adult, is unique, and I thrive on discovering their strengths and musical preferences. For little ones, learning games away from the piano add a playful touch. Older kids delve into pop songs with backing tracks and chord mastery. Adult students shape their direction — be it classical, pop, or jazz — with a focus on self-expression. My approach combines a Northwestern University music minor, Royal Conservatory of Music certification, and real-world musician insights. No ruler-wielding here; I believe in collaborative learning, recognizing life's demands, and working together to ensure progress. Let's make music a joyful and personalized journey!
