Meet Mr. Craig
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 of all ages discover the joy and magic of music. From toddlers to adults in their 80s, my goal has always been the same: to build confidence, spark creativity, and help every student experience success in a fun and encouraging environment.
Whether we’re learning piano, voice, or trumpet, I believe music lessons should be something students look forward to every week.
🎶 My Musical Background
Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.
- 🎹 Started piano at age 5
- 🎺 Began trumpet in 5th grade
- 🎼 Learned organ in middle school
- 🎤 Sang across styles including Broadway, worship, classical, jazz, and more
I play:
- 🎹 Piano
- 🎺 Trumpet
- 🎤 Voice
- 🎼 Organ
My musical influences range from church hymns and classical composers to country, 80s pop, and even my first concert—Johnny Cash at a county fair!
That wide range of styles shapes how I teach: with flexibility, creativity, and a focus on helping students find music they love.
🎯 My Teaching Approach
At Harmanny Music Education, no two students are the same—and lessons shouldn’t be either.
- 🎮 Game-based learning that makes concepts stick
- 🎶 Song-centered lessons that keep students engaged
- 💡 Personalized instruction based on each student’s goals
- 💻 Tech-enhanced learning with tools like Muzie.live
- ⭐ Encouragement that builds confidence week after week
I believe music education should be fun, engaging, and meaningful—not just something to practice, but something to enjoy.
👨👩👧👦 Who I Teach
I’ve had the privilege of working with:
- 👶 Young beginners (even as early as age 1 through music & movement)
- 🎹 Kids and teens building musical skills
- 🎤 Students preparing for performances and auditions
- 🎺 Adults learning for fun or returning to music
No matter the age or experience level, I meet students where they are and help them grow with confidence.
🧩 A Bit More About Me
When I’m not teaching, you’ll probably find me:
- 🎼 Composing or arranging music
- 🏈 Watching or talking about sports
- 🔥 Grilling in the backyard
- 🌱 Working in the garden
I’ve been married for 20 years and am a proud dad to two musical daughters:
- 🎭 Ella (16), who loves musical theater and singing
- 🥁 Emily (14), a singer and percussionist
Music is a big part of our family life, and I love sharing that same joy with my students.
