What Students Say

“I love taking private lessons with Makayla. Her love for Jesus, and the reverence and beauty in worship for Him shines forth in her lessons and video courses. I purchased both the Beginning and Intermediate worship piano courses to reinforce what she has taught me in our lessons. They have been so helpful. I recommend watching the lesson, taking notes, and then sitting at the piano doing what she is teaching. The lessons are very thorough. The most important thing I've learned is to make this all about Jesus, and where my heart should be for Him. Thank you, Makayla!”

— Kimberly

“I was always frustrated when I tried to learn piano by myself because I'm not very motivated on my own, and the books I used tended not to teach piano in a way that kept me interested. With Makayla, however, lessons are enjoyable, engaging, and extremely helpful. I have made significant progress and now enjoy playing a wide selection of worship songs. She adapts the lessons to whatever pace I can handle and is understanding when I encounter difficulties with playing. I highly recommend her as a teacher!”

— Miranda

“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. It's a joy to learn chord playing, accompaniment patterns, and fills while singing for the Lord, our Creator. I also feel confident now to play hymns in a more reflective style at my church. Makayla is amazing and makes learning so easy and fun. What a blessing she is.”
