About JoAnne
I am passionate about music and anxious to share my expertise and experience with students. I teach from my home where I have a Baldwin concert grand and a Steinway A (1898)
I have doctoral level training in music theory (including counterpoint and orchestration) and continue private lessons with an artist teacher since 2017, following 40 years with a poor one. I hold a PhD from Wayne State University in Educational Evaluation and Research.
I am a lifelong teacher of everything I love. I am retired from the public schools where I taught mathematics and conducted program evaluation and research for 30 years. I also ran a sailing instruction program for a local non-profit.
References are available upon request.
I believe in individualized tutorial instruction. Each student learns differently and has unique needs. I try to adjust my instruction to match their style. I also believe that this is serious but should be fun.
I have been teaching all my life. My current teacher suggested that I should take on students.
Over 50 years of private lessons, currently with an artist teacher and doctoral level training in music theory. My current teacher is Maestro Goslin; his pedigree goes back to Liszt, Czerny, Beethoven, and Haydn.
I also hold a PhD in education.

English
A meeting and audition followed by a plan for theory, technique, and repertoire.
Everyone! I was a high school teacher and also taught the lower grades early in my career. I taught graduate school statistics and research. I taught adults to sail for over 30 years.
Seek a teacher who loves piano and has teaching skills. Be sure your teacher includes all areas of music in your education, including theory, technique, repertoire, and broadening your knowledge of music in general and piano literature in particular. Be prepared to put in plenty of time and energy. You only get out what you put in.
My 1965 Baldwin concert grand was completely rebuilt in my living room during 2020-2021. I learned more about how pianos work and what they can be made to do from the technicians who worked on her than anyone could learn from reading or watching videos. My piano went from a very poorly rebuilt Baldwin to one of the top pianos in the world. That was an adventure indeed!
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Do they have a piano to play?
Are they willing to practice regularly?
Will they faithfully attend their lessons?
What do they want from this experience?

Perfect! Joanne is wonderful with my daughter (7) who is a beginner. We've been going a couple months now and she's progressing so fast! She is already reading music and understanding tempo, counting and even has written her own piece! Highly recommend!
Perfect! 1-Systematic teaching approach
2-encouraging atmosphere for kids
3- engaging and creative lessons
4- personlized guidance in class and after classExcellent! Professional. Daughter is only 5 years old and during second lesson, it was shared to daughter not ready. Dr. McClute suggested a more age appropriate route and refunded cost of second lesson.
Perfect! Dr. McClure is a wonderful piano teacher. She is kind, patient, thorough, professional and very encouraging. We are ecstatic to have found her and look forward to lessons each week!
