Classical Piano Lessons in Wyckoff. Amazing Teachers.

I have been teaching piano professionally for 20 years. All ages welcome. Want to play your favourite songs? I teach it you . I teach you how to write and read music . I teach classical and modern piano music. I teach other musical instruments. Playing the guitar, playing the violin. I teach solfége and singing.

Classical music is the foundation for everything else!

I have been teaching piano for over 40 years, full-time for the past 15. Besides the actual repertoire, technique and theory are always included in my lessons because they are essential. Sight reading and ear training are also included in some lessons.

I stress accuracy in playing and attention to details! I also teach my students HOW to practice. Slow, accurate practice is the answer. Practicing takes patience!

Please note: Home lessons must be at a location that I can get to easily with public transportation. I do not have a car.

My goal is to make piano learning a fun interactive experience for you. I want you not just to learn piano by book, but to be able to "speak" music as it is your language. That's why the emphasis in my lessons will be on ear training, improvisation, learning chords, and learning various piano techniques. At the same time, I will acquaint you with music theory, as well as teach you how to sight read music scores and lead sheets. In no time you will acquire the necessary knowledge and skills that will make you confident in playing piano. You will be able to play pieces not only by famous classical composers, but also pieces that are popular in today's culture. You will also acquire improvisation skills that will make you confident in creating your own music.

I believe in taking time to really hone a student’s skills and abilities in playing an instrument like the piano. Anyone at any age can learn. The piano is a great instrument to learn how to read music as well. I have experience in private and classroom teaching for the past 20 years.

Hello! My name is Kate Wisbey. I graduated with my BA in Music from Christopher Newport University, and have been teaching music lessons for about a year and a half. I usually give a trial lesson first, to make sure that I would be a good fit with the student. I usually teach beginner lessons, but would be interested in intermediate lessons as well. I teach all ages, from 3 year olds to seniors. I currently teach part time, but could potentially teach full-time in the future.

Piano Lessons; For piano lessons, I use the books "Piano Adventures; Primer level" for beginners. I do not require or need the theory books, just the lesson book and performance book. I also use " My First Piano Book" for students who are younger or need more interactive activities to help learn piano. As they advance, I move onto the Clementi Books.
