My name is Ms. Sharon Safley, a middle school orchestra teacher with Springfield City Schools; the Organist at Good Shepherd Evangelical Lutheran Church; and piano teacher for 23 years with the former Wittenberg University Center for Musical Development. I have received a Bachelor of Music Education from Wittenberg University 2004, and a Master’s of Music from Wright State University 2010. I have won the Music Educator of the Year award from the Springfield Symphony Orchestra in 2012, and the Springfield Rotary’s Excellence in Teaching Award in 2019.
If you wish to see if Sharon has music lessons at a time that works for you, click the "See Availability" button.
Students (Parents for younger students) will need to register for a free MusicTeacherNotes account. If you are a current student of mine at Ms. Safley’s Music Studio at GSELC and haven't registered your MusicTeacherNotes account, please click the orange button below. You will use the studio code (VXHMU) to connect your family account to my teacher account.
MusicTeacherNotes is free for students. They have an upgradable option available, called the Gold Plan, but upgrading is not required. I can manage our music lessons whether you use their free account or their Gold account.
MusicTeacherNotes helps music teachers manage their students and helps students learn music faster. By empowering parents and students to get much more out of private music lessons, learning music becomes a better experience for everyone.
