Welcome! 

Studio J

My name is Janelle Bracken, and Studio J is the warm, encouraging space in my home where I teach piano.  Music is wonderful, and powerful.  Each student can begin piano lessons only once.  Make it a great beginning! 

I give my very best to each student because I know how crucial a great start is to the success and confidence of a new player.  I mentor, teach, support, and enthusiastically guide each of my students on a fun and engaging musical journey.  My students develop musical skills that will be with them for the rest of their lives and many of my students play other instruments.  Because I love the first years of lessons, I am passionate  about providing beginners with a solid foundation for the music they want to play in the future, whatever style that may be.  

Located in Indianapolis, IN, the studio is conveniently located off I-65 at the Southport Road exit.
