Hi, my name is Joe Haines! I've lived in Grand Rapids ever since I was very young, and I LOOOOOOOVE the piano. In fact, I've loved the piano ever since I was a boy. Some of my fondest memories of childhood are the times when I would sit and listen to my mother play Beethoven, Mendelssohn, and Chopin.

I also love TEACHING the piano. That's why the tagline for my studios is "Lessons for All!" ™ I've been well-trained in classical piano techniques, but have come to believe that the BEST musician is one who is well-rounded. To that end, I have chosen to avoid the traditional teaching route that I've seen many, many teachers take. The process of "auditioning" students just to allow them to take lessons with me is something I'm simply unwilling to do. Therefore, if you who are reading this want to take lessons, even if you feel you aren't "good enough," I truly hope you will contact myself or another teacher in your area. Good luck!!
