About Miss G
Georgia Lucking-Germond
Georgia Germond, affectionately known as Miss G by her students, was born in York, Pennsylvania, on March 21st, the same day as Johann Sebastian Bach! Germond has two children, four grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren that she loves dearly. Miss G is a Grammy Nominee for Little House of Music, cowriter for a #1 Billboard song, pianist, composer, arranger, teacher, activist, and entrepreneur. As a child musical prodigy, starting at age four, Miss G has shown a high degree of talented professionalism in everything she has done. Her musical career started at age sixteen, teaching beginner students piano and organ for her teacher. Miss G’s professionalism, love for music, in-depth understanding of children, and proper teaching methods show in every facet of her career. Miss G has written thousands of songs in her lifetime and continues to create music. Germond is also a published author of the following novels: Ubiquitous, One Dog, and Tree. They will all be available on Amazon and everywhere else.
At the age of four, she would return home from Sunday school and play each song she had heard that day. Miss G always preferred to improvise. Her mother found her a teacher who also had the gift of music, an ear for music, which also incorporated music theory in her lessons so that Miss G not only knew how to play but she understood what she was actually playing. From then on, Miss G’s musical progress soared. She calls her music her savior and is thankful that it made her the successful person she is today.
The Birth of Little House of Music
Miss G took her musical career to Nashville, Tennessee. In Nashville, Miss G first became a studio musician, staff writer, repertoire specialist, and composer/arranger. Miss G’s 20 years living in Nashville, she was involved in all areas of musical creation and production.
Miss G would frequently receive requests to teach preschool children. She looked for a program that would be appropriate for preschoolers; however, no such program existed that she approved of, so she thought we’d just write our own music course for preschool children. That’s when Little House of Music was born. Miss G and Miss Em named the program “Little House of Music” because they wanted to turn music into what children know best: home. When creating LHOM, Miss G was inspired by a picture in Reader’s Digest called “It Was Just an Idea.” The image portrays an idea as a bright light bulb, but as time passes, the bright light progressively dims until it burns out to darkness. “Turning [your idea] off is much easier than keeping it lit,” but the rewards of your light are unparalleled. Later on in Miss G’s career, Little House of Music Level 1 was nominated by the Grammys for Best Children’s Album. Miss G has been a member of the Grammys for over twenty years.
In 1992, Miss G purchased LHOM from her publisher, J Aaron Brown. After all these years of teaching little fingers to play the piano, Germond’s greatest desire is to share this program with children around the world and make the joys of learning and expressing themselves. She cherishes nothing more than children’s smiles and laughter, eagerness to learn, and their capacity to have fun. That’s when her students gave her a new name: Miss G. Miss G successfully introduced and taught the LHOM program in the seven-school system of Murfreesboro, TN. Miss G and her students appeared on national television singing a song from LHOM.
Miss G Today
Miss G moved to Satellite Beach, Florida, in July 1990, where she still resides. She had visited Florida every summer for vacation and knew she wanted to end up “in paradise” someday. She opened her own Little House of Music to all the children of Satellite Beach, Indian Harbor Beach, Indialantic Beach, Melbourne Beach, and all of Melbourne, Florida. Miss G has been teaching this way for decades, teaching thousands of children throughout her career. She teaches technique and theory along with creativity, encouraging her students to think differently and to be composers. In 2006, Miss G gave all her students the same four notes for their right hand and four different notes for their left hand to write a song, produced an album entirely written by her students, and even held songwriting classes for her students to learn the art of songwriting; the album is called “Two Octaves of Kids.” Miss G emphasizes that the words one uses to communicate with children have a significant impact on a student’s confidence and enjoyment: students do not “practice” the piano; they “play” the piano, and in her teaching room, the word CAN’ T is not allowed. Miss G has received millions of hugs from students over her years of teaching, and she claims to feel like “the richest woman in the world.”
Miss G has also become a novelist. She has two books on Amazon in 90 countries – "Ubiquitous", a suspense novel, and "One Dog" for children with 15 songs streaming wherever you get your music.
Miss G firmly believes that a child must have a parent or guardian present during any private or group lessons so the parents know what the child learned and can use it for assistance at home. Teachers who have a degree in music or have taught music in a school have the needed background checks, but many private music teachers do not. Choose your music teacher with tender, loving care.
