 Jerry McLendon has been teaching for over 50 years. His philosophy is that everyone can benefit
from piano lessons and everyone can be inspired by the process of learning to play. Jerry believes
in allowing for students to determine themselves what type of music they like and what style they
find most interesting.
Jerry does not know how young he was when he started playing the piano because his mother put
him performing in public at 4 years of age. Jerry started teaching piano and French Horn at the
age of 18. He attended the University of Alabama with a full scholarship in French Horn. Jerry
then went to Florida State University & University of Michigan for graduate school where he
majored in organ performance, theory /composition and French Horn.
Some of Jerry’s students are National Competition Winners from across the country.

The main emphasis can be summed up in saying...
YOU are the person in charge of your lessons and how you learn. It is the instructor's job to
assess your needs as an individual and help you attain your goals. Music needs to be enjoyable
and relaxing, not frustrating and stress-inducing. Jerry will patiently guide you through this process.
