Guitar Center Canton Township 39415 Ford Rd. Canton Township, MI
Irina's first experience with the piano was learning songs her mom taught her when she was preschool aged, learning songs like "Blue Moon." She was exposed to many musical genres as a kid; her dad enjoyed smooth jazz, regularly listening to 98.7 when it was a smooth jazz station, for example. Her family's love of music naturally transferred to her. She finally began formal piano lessons at 8 years old training under Lesya Kovalchuk focusing on classical piano, emphasizing proper technique and musical expression. Irina quickly progressed and took on advanced pieces early on in her education. She participated in Student Achievement Testing offered by members of the MMTA (Michigan Music Teachers Association). Although Irina's primary focus in lessons was classical piano, she has broad musical interests and enjoys discovering new kinds of music. The skills she acquired from her lessons allowed her to branch out and create and play her own music.

Guitar Center Canton Township 39415 Ford Rd. Canton Township, MI
I began playing guitar the age of 4 after receiving a red Squire Stratocaster for Christmas. Throughout the next few years, I was lucky enough to have an incredible teacher and found many opportunities to start performing through my school. Christmas parties to block parties to jazz clubs, I have played a lot of different types of shows during my career so far as a musician. I hope to bring this versatile background into the lesson room so that I can accommodate the style of music that each student is interested in. Over the last few years, I have been studying music and guitar at the University of Michigan and have completed a couple of programs at Berklee College of Music.

Guitar Center Canton Township 39415 Ford Rd. Canton Township, MI
I have been playing music since I was six years old. I started in choir, and moved to classical music, first playing clarinet. I then moved to bass, playing in Jazz band in 8th grade. Upon moving back to Michigan to live with my father, I moved to the guitar at 16. I studied guitar greats, such as Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Wes Montgomery and more during this time. I studied privately with a graduate from Berklee College of Music named Robert Huffman for three years, before continuing music theory learning at Washtenaw Community College, learning classical music theory as the highest theory level in the course. After transferring into Eastern Michigan University, I performed with local bands, before meeting with members of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band Parliament Funkadelic at 24. Currently, I have recorded two projects (the album "Beyond The Magick Mirror" and my new project to be released at the end of this year) with this collective of Musicians, signed a distribution deal with Sony/AMG out of Toronto from legendary producer Mark S. Berry (The Beatles, David Bowie, Yes, Cameo, Joan Jett) under the artist name Duke Charelle. In 2022, I was awarded a Billboard Plaque for my single Liquid Galaxies (which reached #22 on Billboard Top 100), which was featured on the compilation disc "Hotline Miami: Vol #3". I am also music director of the band P-Funk Outlawz, led by Parliament Funkadelic drummer Lonnie Green, also known as Kount Funkula.

Guitar Center Canton Township 39415 Ford Rd. Canton Township, MI
Hello! My name is Ryan Haley, and I have been a guitarist and bassist performing in the Detroit area since about 2013. I picked up the guitar around age 9, and started to find my way with music shortly thereafter. I was fortunate enough to have a great start to my music education through Hazel Park Schools, learning the trumpet, baritone, tuba, and marching tenor drums while still playing my guitar in multiple ensembles inside and outside of school until graduation. In 2017, I was lucky enough to be accepted to the Detroit Institute of Music Education and completed my bachelors degree in Guitar Performance in 2021. I currently perform throughout the Detroit-Metropolitan area with multiple local acts as a guitarist and bassist, including artists like Jon Paul Wallace, and my own band, Ursa Day. The first and most important thing I like my students to know about me is that we are in this together! I am a firm believer that the most important part of the process in learning a new instrument is enjoying what you're learning! I strive to ensure my students are excited about what they're hearing and playing first and foremost. To do this, I use democratic teaching strategies to help decide alongside my students what material they would like to cover, and at what pace. This means things like choices in songs and genres of interest are all up to you! It is my job to hear your goals and come up with the best plan for both of us to achieve them. I have experience with students from pre-school age (5-6 yrs) to older adults (60+), and have no expectations for a student who comes to me for instruction. My personal specialties as a guitarist lie primarily in Rock, Jazz, and Blues music, with improvisation and transcription of solos/parts being some of my favorite concepts to teach any new student. Thank you so much for reading this, and I hope to share my passion with you soon!

Frequently Asked Questions
Each instructor customizes lessons to ensure you are learning what you like and having fun. Your instructor will start you slowly, introducing new concepts each week, plus give you exercises or easy songs to play to keep you learning at home.
Learning an instrument is an enriching and rewarding experience that creates lifelong benefits, including increased self-esteem and the boosting of memory. Additionally, benefits for school-age individuals can include improved coordination, the expanding of social skills, and higher scores in math, reading and language.
30-minute lessons allow young or beginner students to learn the basics of the instrument and start playing songs. 60-minute lessons are ideal for more advanced students looking to progress faster and focus on the finer points of technique.
This varies by age and the type of goals the student has set out to achieve. However, most new students usually spend 15–30 min. practicing daily, while advanced students can practice for an hour or more each day in between lessons.
Our flexible curriculum allows students of all skill levels to experience growth. We help create a foundational understanding of music theory through the style of music you want to play. Our instructors will work to understand your goals and passions, and make sure you are on the path to learning what you want at your own speed.
Our Lessons staff will work with you to determine your current skill level, stylistic interest and ambitions. We'll then help you choose an instructor who best suits your style and goals. If at any point, you'd like to change instructors, let us know. Our weekly monitoring of progress and wide-ranging curriculum means you can switch to any of our qualified instructors, or another instrument, without missing a beat.
