Learn from home with in-person or Zoom lessons!
About Lessons
You can enjoy learning from the comfort of your home with two options: I drive to you, or we meet on Zoom. I also teach lessons on Sundays at the Golden City Gymnastics building if you’d like to come to me.
(In-home option available in Brandon, Valrico, Bloomingdale, FishHawk, Plant City, Seffner, and Dover).
The first lesson is free! Make sure it’s a good fit for you before committing.
Whether you want to learn classical masterworks, broadway showtunes, or video game music, you've come to the right place! From the first lesson, I will select music to fit your specific interests.
Want to learn a song but afraid it is too difficult? Ability is not an issue! I frequently rearrange music for my students to suit their individual skills and experience.
In addition to reading music off the page, you will also be introduced to playing by chord symbols and by ear. This three-pronged approach will turn you into a well-rounded musician who is confident playing music in any setting.
About Me
I am a proud USF School of Music graduate, with a Bachelor's in Music Education and a Master's in Violin Performance. Go Bulls!
This is my 10th year of teaching. Some of my students have been taking lessons for over 8 years.
My favorite part of teaching is interacting with my students each week, and seeing their growth over time. Recitals are fun too!
I would not be where I am today without the guidance of my incredible music teachers- Yan Jiang Lu, Amanda Cooley, Dr. Carolyn Stuart, and Dr. Svetozar Ivanov.
Testimonials
“My 12 year old has been taking lessons from Merinn since kindergarten. He started with piano, then transitioned to viola when he joined middle school orchestra. Regardless of his age, she has always been able to motivate and instruct him while keeping it fun, and he looks forward to his lessons. She is passionate about music and teaching, and it shows in everything she does. Our family feels very lucky to have her in our lives, and we highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to help their child establish and maintain a love of musical arts.”
-Darcy B.
Testimonials
“My two boys have learned so much with Merinn! She truly embodies the gift of music by helping them find something they are really interested in learning to play.”
-Carrie S.
“Merinn was the first instructor who allowed my son to learn the music he wanted to play instead of just doing things by the book. She is such a great teacher that she still finds ways to make sure his skills are always advancing. He’s now been taking lessons with her for over 7 years with no signs of stopping. Can’t express enough how impressed I am with Merinn and how grateful we are.”
-Jodi P.
