FROM MY HEART

E3 = Empowering – Encouraging – Equipping

In these interviews, I share the heart and soul behind my unique teaching style and my journey from a passionate musician to an entrepreneur and thriving music studio owner. I discuss my philosophy of empowering students through music, encouraging them to embrace their individuality, and equipping them with the skills and confidence to succeed both in music and in life.

Our daughter, Avery, has learned so much…..musically and emotionally. She has improved her voice, learned piano and gained confidence. Deanna instills discipline, passion and fosters individual creativity! Deanna creates the whole package with weekly lessons, solo performances, stage presence and the chance to sing with a band! The opportunity to perform in front of a crowd at a young age is so beneficial. This experience has carried over into everyday life….things like speaking in front of the class, reading at mass and performing at school are a breeze after rocking out with a band and playing piano solos in front of an audience! Music (and Deanna) has become a part of our daughter’s life that she will never give up! Thanks for the life lessons, D!

Music Lessons Gave Our Daughter Confidence

Deanna gave me the confidence I needed to pursue what I really wanted to do in life; Music! Her coaching and one on one advice showed me that the voice is truly an instrument that can be crafted and trained, not just something you’re born with or not. Her teachings inspired me to take the next steps towards my dreams. Now I’m currently a member of the edgy, pop/electronic music trio “Cheat Codes” which is experiencing international coverage, tour dates and success with all the major music mediums. Additionally, I’m running a successful recording studio in Beverly Hills, writing and recording my own original music and helping others record theirs. This wouldn’t be possible without Deanna Williams.

The Voice Is An Instrument That Can Be Crafted And Trained

We have enjoyed Deanna, and her ability to be teacher and friend to the kids makes it an easy choice to come back year after year!!

Music Teacher And Friend

Ms. Deanna has taught me so much more than pushing a key and hearing a sound. I’ve learned perseverance is the greatest form of tenacity, that courage can overcome fear. Once I step through her door, I never stop learning–whether it be about music or life itself.
Timothy G, age 14

Learning That Music is More Than Pushing A Key

My name is Kenzie, and I LOVED having Deanna as my music teacher for both piano and vocal lessons. She is an amazing person inside and out and taught me some great things not only about music but things that helped me throughout life. She really helped shape me as a person and was always there for me. There were days I would come in crying and she would sit me down and have a heart to heart with me and help me out and calm me down before we got started. She was and still is really someone I can trust. I think of her as a second mom. On the musical side, she really advanced my musical career. Sometimes the little songs she’ll make you play and learn seem so dumb and boring, but in the end I realized how far it made my piano skills progress. She believes in her students and she’s honest. She’s not afraid to tell you when that last note you sang was a little bonk, but she really lights up when you sing and it makes you feel good to be praised for your gift like that. I’ve taken choir classes, guitar lessons, and other music classes and lessons before and NONE of them compared to what I got with Deanna. She really treats you like family and genuinely cares about your musical career or musical hobby, and you as a person and your own well being. She’s funny and outgoing and kind and loving and extremely smart. She is an amazing musician herself and it was really cool getting to learn from her. She helped me get where I am today, being offered show times to play at the Chesterfield Amphitheater (which she has come out to see me perform there in her free time), and playing on stage with the main show at the Kansas City Art Festival, even back when I was in middle school she helped me prepare for my talent show. Now I have graduated from high school and I still love getting tips from her from time to time — like, “when you mess up, it’s okay!”, “Don’t say anything. The crowd probably didn’t even notice or they forgot by the end!” I advise anyone and everyone to see her and learn from her. Love you, Deanna ! ❤️

She Believes in Her Students And She is Honest

Deanna is a great teacher and role model for the kids. When we started lessons with Deanna we didn’t realize the added bonus our daughter would receive in confidence building, the chance to perform with a band, stage presence training, overcoming fears and motivational pep talks. Deanna is truly an inspiration to my daughter and will be part of who she grows up to be.
