“Music is my whole life. I started piano lessons when I was 5 years old and voice lessons when I was 7. When deciding on a career, I picked teaching music because it perfectly intersects two major parts of my personality- my love for music and my knack for helping others. I am a certified K-12 music teacher who holds both a Bachelors and a Masters in music education. I have taught in K-12 public school music classrooms and in private lesson settings--but I prefer the personal student-teacher connection that one-on-one lessons provide. I am classically trained in both piano and voice. As for piano performance, I have won several international piano competitions including the 2021 Charleston International Music Competition, the 2025 Charleston International Music Competition, and the 2025 Glory International Piano Competition and am now preparing for the 2027 Cleveland International Piano Competition- one of the top 5 in the world. As for vocal performance, I have sung both as a soloist and in choirs—in fact, I was part of a choir nearly every semester that I was pursuing my undergraduate degree. I am comfortable teaching most styles of music--so just let me know which one interests you!”

“Hello and welcome! I’m Dr. Frankie Price – a passionate teacher, guitarist, composer, songwriter, and engineer (mixing and mastering) with over 40 years of experience in music. My journey into music hasn’t been a straight path; I initially earned a degree in Biology from West Virginia University. However, I soon realized that my true calling was to play the guitar. I took the leap, returned to school, and graduated from Berklee College of Music with a degree in Music Production & Engineering. At Berklee, I double-majored in music production & engineering and film scoring, with guitar as my principal instrument. There, I worked as a stage crew supervisor (a highlight of my experience). I also worked in the local concert circuit, handling security, running monitors, front-of-house mixing, and stage management. Along the way, I crossed paths with legendary artists like The Rolling Stones, Madonna, U2, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Radiohead, Yngwie J. Malmsteen, James Taylor, and Robert Plant. After graduating, I went to Avatar Studios (now known as The Power Station) in New York City. There, I collaborated with artists such as Dream Theater, Medeski Martin & Wood, and Roberta Flack, among others. While in NYC, I began teaching guitar. One student led to fifty, and I enjoyed this new direction so much that I decided to teach full-time. I continued to work with independent artists by mixing, mastering, and assisting them in developing their identity and songwriting skills. In NYC, I discovered my love for teaching and education. Along the way, I earned a Master’s and a Doctorate in Music Education from Boston University. With almost thirty years of private lessons, I’ve had the privilege of helping students of all ages find their musical voice. I currently teach at Berklee in the MP&E and Screen Scoring departments. Also, I have taught, developed, and written multiple undergraduate and graduate classes for Saint Anselm College while creating a music program for the country of Jordan to use in its school system. I teach a variety of instruments, including guitar, woodwinds, piano, banjo, ukulele, mandolin, and more. Whether you’re passionate about rock, classical, jazz, country, or metal, I’m here to guide you through the styles that inspire you. My dedication to music education is grounded in making learning fun, challenging, and ultimately rewarding. If you’re ready to dive deeper, I offer one-on-one lessons to help you grow as a musician and reach your full potential. Some of my career highlights include membership in the Audio Engineering Society (AES), the Registry of Guitar Tutors at the London College of Music, the Music Teachers National Association, the College Music Society, SITE (Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education), the American Educational Research Association, the ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Discovery Community, and the Pedagogy Arts Collective.
