About Craig Harmann
Hi, I’m Craig—also known as “Mr. Craig” to my students and families!
I’ve been a passionate music educator since 2001, helping students from toddlers to seniors discover the joy and magic of music. Whether it’s private piano, trumpet or voice lessons, or leading music in classrooms and churches, I bring a wealth of experience and a love for teaching that’s fueled by fun, creativity, and connection.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with students as young as 1 (yes—music and movement is powerful!) to adults well into their 80s. No matter the age, my goal is always the same: to spark confidence, musical growth, and joy in every learner.
Musical Background & Style
My musical journey started early. I began piano lessons at age 5, picked up the trumpet in 5th grade, and started learning the organ in middle school. Singing? I’ve been doing that for as long as I can remember—from madrigals and vocal jazz to Broadway, worship, classical, country, and everything in between.
I play:
-
🎹 Piano
-
🎺 Trumpet
-
🎤 Voice
-
🎼 Organ
Growing up, I was shaped by a mix of church hymns, country music, classical composers, 80s pop, and the wonder of MTV (volume turned low, of course—thanks Mom!). My first concert? Johnny Cash at a county fair. Eclectic? Absolutely. And I bring that same open-minded, genre-embracing spirit into every lesson I teach.
Teaching Approach
At Harmanny Music Education in Spring, Texas, lessons are never one-size-fits-all. I tailor every session to each student’s goals and interests. Whether you want to play Bach, belt Broadway, jam to jazz, or rock out with Queen, I’ve got the tools and enthusiasm to help get you there.
You’ll find games, apps, apps like Muzie.live, interactive activities, creative challenges, and good old-fashioned encouragement in every lesson. I believe music learning should be fun, engaging, and personal—and that’s exactly what you’ll find here.
A Bit More About Me
Outside of teaching, I’m a composer, arranger, sports fanatic, grill master, and gardener. I’m married for 20 years and also a proud dad to two musical daughters—Ella (16), a musical theater and singing enthusiast, and Emily (13), a singer and percussionist.
