Piano Instructor
Leisel Johnson
Born and raised in a small town in Southern Arizona, Leisels mom had to find ways to keep her busy and piano was one of them! Having grown up in a home where her mom taught piano, it was a rule that you had to take lessons if you wanted to play sports. Leisel will be forever grateful for her moms diligence as piano and music is her whole career. Leisel eventually went on to get a degree in Piano Performance from Eastern Arizona College where she trained under Dr. Gail Fischler and Chase Moore. She will be forever grateful for the Miss Arizona Organization where she competed in her local pageant and won her local title with piano as her talent and awarded a scholarship that got her through most of her college career. Leisel enjoys using her talents in church, assisted living homes, weddings and especially as teacher! Leisel loves kids and music so truly this is her dream job.
