"We moved to the McKinney area about a year ago, and found BJ for our teenage daughter’s continuing piano lessons. It was a critical part of our transition here, and we have loved having BJ teach our child! Everything about the experience has been wonderful! I highly recommend her!"

Anna P.
Piano Parent

"I highly recommend BJ Harman if you are looking for a GREAT piano teacher!  She is so nice, patient, very encouraging, and fun!  She always greets you with a smile.  My daughter has taken lessons for the past three years and we are signed up for another year!  BJ is very professional and always a pleasure!!"

Tara C.
Piano Parent

“Do you think you're too old to learn something new? If you've ever thought of learning the piano please give BJ a call no matter your age. Playing is not just for kids! I'm well into senior citizenship and it's amazing how far I've come in the 2 years I've been with BJ. I look forward to every lesson."

Kay P.
Piano Student

"BJ was the perfect piano teacher for our girls. She provided them with a strong music-theory background, artistic interpretation of the piano pieces and a deep love for music that has carried them on through high school band and choir. BJ understands the fine balance of motivation, direction as well as discipline. She is the piano teacher I wish I had growing up. We HIGHLY recommend BJ as a piano teacher!"

Loraine G.
Piano Parent

Mrs. Harman is a fantastic music teacher. She's adaptable to student needs, responsive to questions, and driven without taking the joy out of music. Recommend her wholeheartedly, as she's taught both my boys who have very different learning styles with equal enthusiasm. 

Rachael S.
Piano Parent

"I have been taking piano lessons under BJ Harman since the summer before third grade. Now, nearing the end of my senior year, I feel as though my knowledge and skill are prepared enough for whatever musical path I take in college. BJ is a kind, talented, effective teacher. I am very lucky to have been under her instruction."

Rosie G.
Student

"Mrs. Harman is truly above and beyond!! She is always encouraging, patient, and loving to her students. She finds ways to inspire them to excel in music. She offers fun activities besides regular lessons. Both my kids love her so much that they look forward to the piano lessons. She is the best piano teacher around! We are blessed to have her teach our children music."

Wendy W.
Piano Parent

"BJ's natural teaching ability and dedication to her students impressed me from our very first lesson.  She wants each student to be successful and works with all of her student's individual strengths and weaknesses to help them achieve their goals.  My daughter has been blessed to have BJ as her piano teacher for the past 10 years.  She has taught my daughter different styles of music, great composers, theory, and more."

Mechelle G.
Piano Parent

"As a child, my piano teacher's methods almost ruined my interest in piano. I was determined that my kids would have a different experience and am so thankful that BJ was recommended to us. My kids love to play, practice on their own and are progressing beautifully. She is a terrific instructor."

Becky B.
Piano Parent

"Piano with B.J. has been a great gift to my family. Not only has B.J. taught my girls a love of music, but she has taught them in the language of music."

Kristen P.
Piano Parent

"B.J. is a wonderful teacher, kind, challenging and supportive. I love her newsletter, the computer technology that she uses to supplement my boys instruction, and the other programs she offers to help them learn and grow as musicians."

STUDIO SHOWCASE

Creative, fun, inspirational learning experience aiming for a lifelong love of music-making. Measurable and achievable goals provide motivation for growth. Students have opportunities to participate in studio, local, state, and national events.

Passionate about music learning!

Meet B.J.

One of my favorite sources of joy is watching students delight in learning a new song or skill and excitedly sharing it with their friends and family. Having taught piano for 30 years, I have taken hundreds of students along their musical journey.  With degrees in music education along with decades of teaching piano and professional accompanying in schools and churches, I seek to prepare each student to fit their musical skills into any situation. Many previous students have graduated high school and found a place to use their piano in everyday life and some have continued on to pursue music degrees.

Experiencing fun and motivating music and activities while learning foundational skills, student’s encounter music in a way that connects with their personal goals and interest. Pursuing artistry and creativity plus a variety of genres, students have the opportunity to foster a lifelong love for music.

Lessons are offered for ages 4-adult and take place in Melissa, Texas.  Join me in pursuing your inner musician!
