Worship is the highest calling and what we were created for.

“I will give them one heart and one purpose: to worship Me forever.” – Jeremiah 32:39

Piano should be easy to learn and fun to play.

A simple, easy-to-follow approach to learning the piano.

Anyone can play worship piano.

All ages and levels even YOU!

Worship Piano = Worship + Piano

Worship is the foundation of everything we do. We do not learn the piano to become skilled and well known; we learn the piano to find yet another way to pour our love on Jesus.

At Adoration Music Academy, we love Jesus, we prioritize worship, and we minister to His heart at the piano. Through worship, we can host His presence and create a space where He comes to abide, where He is loved, and where He finds true friendship.

Worship Piano = Worship + Piano

Have you ever tried to learn piano, only to become frustrated in a very short time?

  • Traditional piano lessons focus on a very different skill set than what is needed for worship.

  • Many YouTube videos are much too complicated, being created by people who can play the piano but have no idea how to teach it.

  • Learning by yourself typically results in being overwhelmed quickly, because you are trying to learn 50 different skills at the same time.

In each of these cases, you end up being frustrated – and all you wanted to do was play a simple worship song!

Piano should be easy to learn and fun to play, allowing you to worship freely. Over the past 3 years I have developed a method with my own students that is exactly that: easy to learn and fun to play! We use a 5-step approach in which we master one skill before adding another:

  1. Learn the fundamentals of the piano and basic chords.

  2. Master the key of C. (This allows you to play any song!)

  3. Discover chord inversions to make your playing sound beautiful.

  4. Add various left- and right-hand patterns.

  5. Put it all together. (This is where you learn all keys/tonalities, 7th chords, improvising, the number system, scales, and more.)

Anyone can learn – even YOU!

You are never too old or too young to fulfill your dreams! Anyone ages 5-105, from anywhere in the world, can enjoy playing their favorite worship songs on the piano.

  • Online lessons provide 1-on-1 instruction to help you achieve your specific goals and progress quickly.

  • The Worship Essentials video courses allow you to work through the same content at your own pace.

Come join us. Join a group of people with eyes only for Jesus, with hearts to love Him, and with one dream: His presence. We welcome you to worship with us live on YouTube for our monthly Adoration Nights. May Jesus be forever loved here.

“It took me a while to find the worship teacher I was looking for . . . and then Makayla came my way. In half a year, she made my dream happen. I feel confident now to play in a more reflective style at my church. Makayla is amazing and makes learning so easy and fun.”

Adoration Community

Join a worship piano community in the presence of Jesus as you learn and grow alongside others who are on the same journey. Adoration Community is a space for worship pianists of all skill levels (even beginners) to come together and encourage one another, cultivate the heart of worship, and develop their skills at the piano together.

This community is a perfect supplement to lessons or courses, and it is also an excellent standalone option to provide you with encouragement, motivation, and resources as you develop your skills.
