Patient, caring kid friendly piano. While I believe in excellence, piano lesson time should fun. I give drills, play games, all the while giving you the foundation for piano playing years to come.

I have taken 12 years of piano lessons since I was 7 years old.
I have a lot of knowledge in the music pedagogy and great experience teaching beginner piano lessons.
I enjoy teaching and I always try to make it fun and enjoyable for my students to learn.
I use traditional, classical approach in teaching. I do not specialize in teaching jazz/pop/rock piano.
I don't have a piano at my house at the moment so I will have to come to your house for the lessons.

Experienced piano teacher of 7 years! My lesson plan is simple : 1. we warm up with basic scales + finger exercises, 2. we focus on tone + proper technique, and 3. we play a variety of solo pieces, duets, and ensemble music (I prepare backing tracks to help w/ rhythm and timing... or play the parts myself).

The time devoted to each portion of the lesson is totally adjustable. You will learn what you want to learn at your own pace.

"Study music while experiencing lessons to an enjoyable and relaxed approach!" This has been my goal and approach for students from young children to professional musicians in college. Whether piano, voice, or organ let's see how you learn best and make this a positive experience for you!

Greetings! I specialize in introducing beginners to piano, and have worked with students as young as two and a half! If you're looking for a teacher who makes learning to play piano fun, then please contact me!

I recently filed a patent for an easy-to-read music notation system for beginners, which is so easy that 4 year olds can read and play songs on their own! The basic idea is that just playing the instrument is much easier than reading the notes. For example, instead of reading classical notation, a lot of guitarists play very complex music using tablature, which is a way of writing notes using numbers instead of dots on a staff; it writes music in a language they can already read, so that's what I did with piano, then violin, viola and cello.

Students around age 10 and under have a hard time orienting the piano staff because lower notes go left on the keyboard and higher notes go right, so I start young students by orienting the piano staff in the same direction as the ...

With a Bachelor's and Master's degree in piano performance from the Mannes School of Music, in addition to several years of teaching experience and an active performing career, I possess a comprehensive perspective and knowledge of making music at the piano. I believe that every musician is unique, and therefore, my positive, energetic, and fun approach to teaching focuses on the needs and goals of every student, individually. Having served on the faculties of the Bronx Conservatory of Music and the 92nd St. Y School of Music, as well as maintaining a private studio, I enjoy working with students of all ages and abilities, from beginners to already-seasoned pianists looking to refine their skills.

As a professional musician and teacher for over 20 years, I know how to make lessons fun and productive. I am currently the keyboardist for The Who and Roger Daltrey, performing in front of tens of thousands of people at a given time. I also have performed with Kenny Loggins, Don Felder, among many others. As Musical Director, I built bands and developed Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Hilary Duff, and American Idol winner Taylor Hicks. I will teach you any popular or classic rock song of your choosing (Elton John, Billy Joel, The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, etc), and show you small little nuances that you can apply, making a world of difference in the sound of the performance - i.e. subtle expressions the artists play on the recording, which are not notated in the sheet music.

Experienced teacher of 5 years, working with beginner, intermediate, and advanced piano students! All ages welcome. Want to play your favorite songs? Interested in learning to write and record your own music? I can help you get started! Lessons are customized and catered to the needs/goals of each student. Not only will you be playing songs in no time, but you will be building a strong foundation of note reading, music theory, ear training, sight reading, technique, and more. Message me to see if we'd be a good fit!
