“After completing an undergraduate degree in music, I knew there was still much more that I wanted and needed to learn about keyboards and music. I wanted to take my playing to the next level in order to continue to mature as a musician. I had heard Alton play before and already knew about his skill as a performer, so I contacted him and began taking lessons. Alton’s charisma, love of music, his deep knowledge across all genres of music (Jazz, Classical, Gospel, Pop, and more), and commitment to excellence immediately spoke to me. Alton’s ability to identify and encourage his students’ personal goals, and to establish methods of application to achieve those goals, is what makes studying with him a true joy. He puts students on a path to long-term knowledge and enjoyment of music. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced student, and whether you are a guitarist, vocalist, classical or pop musician, even one lesson with Dr. Alton Merrell can help make you not just a better musician, but also a better person.”
