Valley Stream, NY Classical Piano Lessons

I studied music and piano at the University of Central Florida. My main focus there was classical and jazz guitar, but I also had to demonstrate my proficiency in piano. I've been playing and teaching piano for six years since then. I've worked with young children, teenagers, and even adults, so I'm happy to work with new students, novice to intermediate, of any age.

Lessons are built on a foundation of reading music notation and basic harmonic theory. We learn everything from from Bach to Beethoven and beyond! I'm happy to recommend books for beginners, depending on the age and skill level of the student.

Beginner classical piano for all ages. Class involves piano performance as well as basic music theory and music reading skills.

I've been playing the piano since I was six, and I've been teaching for over ten years. I tailor my curriculum to fit your interests and abilities. Although I play many different styles and genres, classical piano is my favorite subject to teach! Your true teachers will be Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven, Rachmaninoff and more. I love searching through the classical repertoire to find the perfect pieces for every skill level. Here are some sample topics we will cover:

--healthy and effortless technique
--fluency in music reading
--knowledge of classical repertoire
--memorization/performance skills
--basic scales/chords/arpeggios
--basic musicianship (including ear training, expression, style, performance, etc.)

I am a certified Steinway education partner with over 12 years of teaching experience. I specialize in teaching students who already play the instrument and wish to get a more in-depth experience with piano literature by learning new repertoire and building technique. For all my students, I emphasize the importance of practicing efficiently while developing critical listening skills. I am very patient and encouraging and I also teach adult beginners.

Specialize in ABRSM syllabus and music school auditions

I took my first piano lessons at age 5, and continued on to become a professional opera singer with my BA in Music and Italian from Vassar College. Piano is a foundational instrument for anyone interested in pursuing music and it would be my honor to introduce you to the basic techniques and concepts that will allow you to make music on your own!

I especially love to work with children, as watching young people discover music for the first time is one of the most joyful privileges I have ever had. I still have a relationship with my first piano teacher from all those years ago and owe my entire career path to her. Nothing would fulfill me more than being able to offer that same opportunity to the next generation of musicians!

I have been teaching piano for over thirty years now. I teach every genre from classical to today's music. You will be learning how to read music and playing your favorite songs in no time. I can arrange any piece of music so my students can play it. The most important thing to me is to see my students learn and progress but also I like to make the lessons fun. I feel very blessed to make a living out of something I love and enjoy so much.

With over 15 years of teaching experience with amateurs, music students and professionals of all ages, levels and instruments; I aim to combine my creative career of performing, composing and recording to guide you in your unique gifts and goals.

I’d love to work with you to help you become the best musician you can be in terms of depth, creativity and originality by gaining both technique and a strong sense of harmony, melody and rhythm.

I'm trying to provide a highly interactive approach considering the student's needs and goals instead of a rigid methodical practice. Although my expertise is Jazz piano/Theory/Composition, I try to cover almost every genre as much as possible from Classical to Pop and other contemporary styles to expand your aural awareness.

Lessons with me are centered on the student and the student's goals. One adult beginner wanted to play one Frank Sinatra song for his wife on their anniversary; that was achieved! Many others want to learn the classical repertory through Beethoven sonatas and Chopin waltzes and nocturnes. I believe that lessons, and music learning in general should be informal and fun.
I also teach music theory, both as a vital part of keyboard study, and as a separate discipline.

I am a young, friendly and enthusiastic teacher, and want all my students to achieve high results!
I teach ladies and girls all ages, starting from 7 years old till 107! I love tutoring, and especially developing your musical talents further. I teach piano classical music- by note, and also by ear all genres of music.
