Sallee Music Co.
Hey y’all! I’m Jessie Sallee, your music instructor.
If you’ve found yourself here, chances are we have a little something in common: you believe music is meant for more than just the stage.
For the past 16 years, I’ve had the privilege of leading worship on stages. But as much as I’ve loved those moments, some of my greatest joy in music has always been found in the ordinary places of everyday life.
Playing at a friend’s wedding. Singing Christmas carols around the table with family. Singing hymns in nursing homes. Honoring someone we love through music at a funeral. Or simply sitting alone in a quiet room, making music and letting its extraordinary beauty meet us in the middle of an ordinary day.
Those are the moments that remind me why I love music so much.
Music has a remarkable way of helping us celebrate, grieve, connect, remember, worship, and tell the stories of our lives. And you don’t have to be a professional musician—or ever step onto a stage—to experience all that music has to offer.
That’s why I created this course.
If you’re ready to become an everyday musician—to learn piano or acoustic guitar and bring the beauty and magic of music into the sacred spaces of your everyday life—I’d love to help you get there.
And who knows… you may end up on a stage after all.
Online Music Courses Offered
Music Basics on Piano
Music Basics on Piano is a beginner-friendly introduction to the building blocks of music. Using the piano as a visual and easy-to-understand tool, you’ll learn how notes, chords, and scales work together—and begin building a foundation you can use on any instrument.We’ll start with the basics of the piano and finding notes on the keyboard, then explore half steps and whole steps, triads, major and minor chords, and the major scale. From there, you’ll learn how chords are built within a major key and begin to understand the patterns behind the music you play.
This course is designed for complete beginners—no previous music theory or piano experience is required. It’s also the recommended starting point for students planning to continue into Piano 1 or Acoustic Guitar 1.
Rather than simply memorizing chords and songs, my goal is to help you understand why music works the way it does, giving you a practical foundation you can carry with you as you continue learning, playing, and creating music.
Upcoming Music Classes
Join Jessie on a musical journey that begins with the basics of piano and gradually opens the door to a deeper understanding of how music works.
You’ll learn the building blocks of music, develop the skills to play piano and/or acoustic guitar, learn to confidently follow chord charts, and begin to understand how chords, scales, and keys work together. As you grow, you’ll move beyond simply playing the notes on the page and learn to play freely in any key, improvise, and eventually create music of your own.
The goal isn’t just to teach you how to play an instrument—it’s to help you understand music well enough to make it your own.
