Hawthorne, NY Piano Lessons

In our lessons, beginning students will learn to read music, play their favorite pieces, how to do warm ups and learn basic skills. I use sheet music and introductory books in my classes and assign homework for their daily practice. After 3 months, each student will move to the next level and continue learning more advanced skills. More advanced students will learn how to understand and compose music, put expression into the pieces they play and improve their current skills.

All styles - pop, rock, jazz, funk, classical, etc. Reading, writing and ear training.

I possess more than 10 years of progressive experience in music education. My professional history includes positions such as president/instructor at Rockville Centre Music as well as classical guitar instructor at Long Island Conservatory.
Most recently, my responsibilities as owner at Rockville Centre Music match the qualifications you are seeking.

As an instructor I will teach you the fundamental tools you will need as a musician to progress at your own pace. I taught myself without any formal training until I was headed to college. Even with private instruction, it was my own passion and work ethic that allowed me to grow into the musician I am today. I seek to inspire that same passion in you.

Being an active and experienced musician gives me the necessary knowledge to know what is needed on order to become a better musician. Also having over 20 years of teaching experience allows me to tailor my knowledge to the need of every particular student. I really enjoy to transfer my knowledge and solve the unique musical problem that every student encounter during their musical path.

Experience teacher of well-rounded lessons that focus not just on technique but overall musical fluency & creativity. I'm a singer/songwriter from a classical & jazz background who can help you or your child find your musical passion and cater your lessons accordingly.

I have been teaching professionally for 15 years. I have a specific teaching curriculum that design specifically for teach students. I believe in order to play the piano well, you need to have a good technical foundation. But all the exercises are boring, so improving by learning the music that you'd like to play is the best way to do it. That way you are motivated to practice.

I teach only classical music, and specialize in audition preparation. I want my students to reach their musical potential and aspirations while having a wonderful time!

I encourage and foster the love of music in young children. With over 20 years of experience as a concert pianist I am here to share all my experiences with the younger generation. I am a pianist with a passion for singing. Also, I am a lyric player :) I received my Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Piano Performance and I have had over 5 years of teaching experience. I cannot wait to work with young kids in a stress-free, motivating and fun environment.

Students will be taught the basics of learning the piano, from their first piece to a level 3 NYSSMA solo. Students will learn how to read music, learn the layout of the keyboard, and spend time developing independence with both hands. Want to learn your favorite pop tune, movie tune, or video game theme? This is the right place to start.
