Welcome! 

Studio J

My name is Janelle Bracken, and Studio J is the warm, encouraging space in my home where I teach piano.  Students come for lessons each week.  I mentor, teach, support, and lead each of my students on a musical journey, which is fun, engaging, and full of enthusiasm.  My students develop musical skills that will be with them for the rest of their lives.  Music is wonderful, and powerful.  There's only one chance for a child to  begin piano.  I give my very best, because I know how crucial a great start is to the success and confidence of a new player.    I don't teach beginners because it's all I can do.  I teach beginners with passion, because I love the first years of lessons, which lay the foundation for pianists'  success.  

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