Lee Lanier

For 36 years, I have had the privilege of privately teaching music to all ages and levels. As a mother who homeschooled my own three children, and a teacher in private schools, I deeply understand how to nurture and structure a child's education.

My background is deeply rooted in service and performance. I have served as a missionary, a church worship leader and pianist, and have directed numerous children’s dramas.

Within the professional music community, I have proudly served on the board of the CPTF, as chairperson for the NFMC Charlotte Festival, and as President of the Charlotte Music Club. I also graduated with a degree in music from the State University of New York at New Paltz.

"Miss Lee is a very punctual teacher. In my time taking lessons with her, she was never late and almost never took time off. Her lessons were always structured and she always sends you home with something to practice. Her feedback was always helpful and instructive, and I believe I learned a lot under her."

"I have had the pleasure of attending several of Miss Lee’s professional and polished recitals over the last decade. She pours her heart into each one and you can see her passion for her students."

"My son took piano lessons with Miss Lee and benefited greatly from her thoughtful approach. She offered strong technical instruction while inspiring him to explore new musical styles and repertoire. We particularly valued the nursing home performances and the many opportunities she arranged for students to share their music with others—experiences that built both skill and confidence."

Kishore B.

Parent

"Miss Lee taught our daughter piano for over 8 years. Her enthusiasm and commitment to her students is unsurpassed. We appreciated having a teacher that was both an expert educator and a Christian. Her guidance helped our daughter win a Piano Hymn state competition. It was a blessing to see our daughter blossom in maturity and confidence while developing her talent in musical arts."

Diana K.

Parent

"Before studying under Miss Lee, I did not realize how poorly my previous music instructors taught me. Miss Lee not only trained me to play piano at an advanced level, but she also taught me enough music theory for me to feel comfortable writing and improvising my own music. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't have chosen any other teacher."

Christian C.

Pianist and award-winning composer

"I studied under Miss Lee for several years and as an adult, I appreciate the solid musical foundation she taught me. I continue to play multiple instruments, and I have a deeper understanding and appreciation for music I listen to and perform."
