Intro to Piano Lessons

Nadia is a fine instructor. Take it from me who's been coached in many sports - tennis, skiing , riding, swimming. AM is a sport, too, in that the student has to do most of the work. Nadia tells us what to do to improve, but it's up to us to practice.

In just one lesson, my daughter learned so much and gained the confidence to work through a difficult piece of music!

First lesson in, and I already feel like the goals for myself are more than attainable under the tutelage of Nadia.  I learned so much in my first thirty minutes. I can't wait to go back.

Today I had my first flute lesson with Nadia after not having played for over 30 years!  It was truly the best experience that I could hope for.  Nadia is knowledgeable, patient, kind and very encouraging.  I can't wait for my next lesson!

My 6 year old's first music lesson ever, WITHOUT a piano, was a huge hit! Nadia filled the time going through a piano book and walking through the keyboard as well as how to read the notes, and hand placement. Nadia is kind, patient, and engaging. We are thrilled we found her and looking forward to our next lesson!

Nadia is terrific. I really like her and find her to be enthusiastic, knowledgeable and encouraging. I highly recommend her.

Nadia is very nice and patient, and adapted the lesson to whatever I wanted to learn.

I am learning to speak Italian very fast due to Nadaia's wonderful method and style of teaching

A great teacher, extremely knowledgeable with the ability to help students grasp new concepts.

Ive had a couple of Alexander instructors and Nadia by far is the best. She explains things in a way that makes sense and I'm seeing progress. She is wonderful!

Nadia is a really warm, engaging teacher.  Perfect for my 2 beginners (age 7 and age 5).  They were adamantly against taking piano lessons before I signed them up with Nadia, but now they are eagerly practicing at the piano and studying their lessons.  What a gem!

Nadia is wonderful and our girls love working with her.  She is extremely patient.  This is their first piano teacher, and they went from dreading the first lesson to looking forward to their weekly lesson!

Terrific first lesson! Nadia is great at simplifying and using creative methods to help you remember the fundamentals.

Wonderful first lesson with Nadia!  My daughter is 13 and extremely happy with the instruction she received.  We definitely plan on continuing!
