The Teacher

Welcome To My Page!

My name is Faithe Ward, and I am so glad you are interested in piano lessons! Let me tell you a little bit about myself! 

I am married to my best friend, Todd.  We said, "I Do" in 1999. So very happily married for 24 years! We began our life together in the ministry, Music Ministry. We retired from ministry in 2023, and my husband now works for the state of Mississippi and I teach piano full-time from our home in Florence, MS.


We have 3 beautiful daughters: Michaela, Mallory, and Malena. They are our greatest joy. Our oldest is Michaela. She is a recent graduate of Mississippi College and now works full-time. Our middle daughter is Mallory. She graduated high school and went straight to work. Our baby is Malena. She is 16 and is working on her GED. She also works part-time. She plans to go to nursing school, as of last week LOL. She may change her mind again.  
        
I was taught to play piano by my mother who gave me lessons from the age of 4 through 16. I took private lessons in college and pursued a degree in music education. I've been teaching piano since 2000. I firmly believe that music theory is a MUST if you want to play an instrument. I put a lot of work into my student’s piano lessons. I expect a lot from my students. I'm firm.... but fun! I have students from every walk of life! The youngest is 4 and the oldest is 74! I do my best to meet my students where they are, cater to their tastes, and still take them just a little bit farther than they thought they could go.

I teach piano lessons to students from Florence, Brandon, Richland, Mendenhall, Magee, Braxton, and Clinton, MS.....just to name a few!

Every pianist should have the opportunity to learn and grow in an enthusiastic, non-competitive environment. Faithe, a lifelong student of the piano, playing for pleasure, and teaching for the joy of it, builds skills, mastery, and confidence through engaging lesson time. She teaches skills that will provide a lifetime of enjoyment at the piano and offers excellent growth opportunities through recitals, nursing home performances, and evening soirees.

Music is my life. Music can take you places that you could never go otherwise. Music is the ultimate expression of every emotion known to man. 

Music is WORSHIP.
