Online, January 10, 2012 (Newswire.com) - TakeLessons (http://takelessons.com), the nation's fastest growing private music lessons provider, has announced a new hire in Portland, ME.

Vanessa T. will be available for guitar and songwriting lessons for students of all ages throughout the Portland area. Vanessa will be an excellent addition to the TakeLessons roster, which features instructors nationwide who have gone through a 7-step certification process.

Vanessa has been studying music from the early age of 5, including piano, saxophone, clarinet and guitar.

Recently, she was chosen as Portland's 2011 Best Folk Act in the Portland Phoenix.

"As your teacher, I will enoucrage you not only to learn useful chords, strumming and picking patterns," said new teacher Vanessa, "but also to broaden your relationship with music by encouraging weekly artist immersion activities. For me, music is not only a career and passion, but a universal language."

TakeLessons takes students beyond just music lessons and offers a comprehensive user experience, with a personal online account to track scheduling, billing, and lesson journals all in one place.
