Ashley has proven herself to be a gifted, accomplished, articulate and extremely patient piano instructor! I appreciated her forty-eight month plan, which is designed for adults who learn much differently than children. I’m almost through with my fourth year of instruction and have reached a confidence level I once only dreamed about! Thank you Ashley for providing me the artistic ability to be the “Keeper of the Tunes!”

The WholeMusic™ Curriculum

Your Path to Mastery

At Master's Music Academy, Ashley Lane, M.Mus,, uses the WholeMusic™ curriculum as the foundation to empower Adult Learners to fluently master each of the Four Core Skills through the proven seventeen-level graded course of study.

From the very first lesson, you'll embark on a musical journey like no other, engaging in strategically personalized exercises and playing your favorite songs, all while naturally nurturing your knowledge, skill, and understanding within the Pillars of Musical Fluency.

01. Sound

Sound forms the foundational core of musical knowledge and skill. We empower you to make musical choices based on what sounds resonate with you, enabling a profound connection to the music you create.

02. Shape

Shape follows, recognizing that once you identify your desired sound, you must navigate the piano's topographical landscape. This pillar involves not only memorizing by also visualizing the distinct shape of each sound on the piano, enabling you to conjure and see it in your mind's eye effortlessly.

03. Feel

Feel encompasses the third musical pillar, emphasizing the importance of understanding how each sound feels when played on the piano. This tactile connection enhances your ability to translate musical ideas into captivating performances.

04. Look

Look is the fourth musical pillar, unveiling the visual aspect of your musical journey. As you become attuned to how a sound feels, you'll naturally progress to recognizing what that sound, shape, and feel look like on the musical staff, unlocking the ability to read and interpret sheet music with ease.

05. Understanding

Understanding crowns our curriculum, as Music Theory serves as the arched pillar that unifies your musical knowledge and skill. It enables you to think critically and articulate your musical thoughts, allowing you to fluently communicate within the intricate language of music.
