Piano Lessons in Penn Laird

Hey, how's it going! My name is Logan Hadley. I majored in music composition at Virginia Tech. I've been teaching lessons for over 4 years across various nations and people from all over the world! My teaching style is relaxing, yet rewarding. I want lessons to be as enjoyable as possible! Throughout my work and creative experience as a composer, performer, and arranger, one of the most valuable skills I’ve developed is the ability to build genuine connections and to lead with talent backed by genuine passion. Whether I’m scoring a short film, collaborating with a vocalist, or performing live and connecting with the audience, I’ve learned that music is never created in isolation. Great work comes from strong, human-centered collaboration, listening to others, understanding a creative vision, and being able to translate that into something meaningful and impactful. It's nothing short of a gift that I've always had my whole life. I've just never opened that gift. I bring that same mindset into every professional environment, especially teaching, which is why I love it so much, because I don't just like seeing people getting better (which is amazing and something we're going to be working toward!), I want to see them being themselves, whether it's loud, happy, weird, or any emotion that brings out their true self. Music isn’t just something I do; it’s how I think, solve problems, and express myself. I’m constantly learning, experimenting, and challenging myself to turn good ideas into exceptional ones, especially on the piano! I also understand the behind-the-scenes demands, time management, creative pressure, and balancing multiple projects. I’ve learned how to thrive in that kind of environment. I’ve worked under deadlines, composed original pieces for others’ visions, and handled feedback with professionalism and openness. I see an opportunity not just to apply these skills, but to continue building them and growing in a space that values creativity, individuality, and connection. I’m beyond excited by the possibility of being around professionals who inspire me and contributing my unique voice and mindset to that environment. Thank you so much for reading, and I look forward to working with you!
