Instructor and Materials

The instructor at Making Melodies Piano Studio – Brookfield, John Ibisch, spent 34 years in a local parochial high school. During those years he used the keyboard on a daily basis in his classroom, leading hearty singing.  He personally is experienced on both piano and organ keyboards, has played several brass instruments, and has sung in and directed choirs.

 In retirement, he has opened his home studio to share his love of music with beginners of all ages from kindergarten to adults. Students who do not start as beginners may continue to use the materials they are familiar with, but the basis for instruction of most students is the traditional tried and true course of John Thompson which takes the student from Middle C and the very beginning to advanced musicianship on the piano keyboard.

At Making Melodies Piano Studio, the materials are all provided to the student as part of the lesson fee.
