I've been playing the piano for a very long time. (Almost 27 years, to be exact!) I feel that the piano is an incredibly powerful instrument. Because the piano is a chordal instrument, you can literally use it to play any piece of music ever written, classical, jazz, pop, or anything else you can think of. 
It is also one of the most relaxingly mindful and emotionally cathartic experiences to be able to play the piano!  
You can play many different rhythms at the same time (since you have two hands, and ten fingers). Or you can play the most beautiful melody with one hand while the other hand keeps the beat.  You can sit down and compose a piece, or you can accompany yourself while you sing. Or if you want to learn about music theory, the piano keys are a better visual representation of this than any other instrument. It's the easiest instrument with which you can learn to play by ear. The possibilities are truly endless.
For these reasons and many more, piano lessons should be inspiring, engaging, and fun! With me, you will learn in a supportive environment in the traditional style, with emphasis on its modern applications. I teach sheet music and also how to play by ear and really listen.
You choose your course of study: classical, pop, rock, or jazz. If you want, you can also add on some singing so you can learn to accompany yourself. Whatever level you are starting from, I look forward to helping you on your musical journey!

I was trained at the Eastman School of Music in classical piano and voice, but have always had a love for pop music. After I was done with school, I moved back to NYC, joined an indie rock band called Ravens & Chimes, started writing and producing pop songs under the name Krystalmath (over 400,000 plays on Spotify), and began my teaching career. I usually start students in a classical style because it provides more structure, but also emphasize from early on pop and jazz-style improvisation and playing by ear.

Rebecca combines the technical/foundational components of learning along side introducing diverse music types ranging from pop favorites to classical to keep my daughter engaged.  She is flexible and reliable.  
I highly recommend Rebecca and am grateful we found her.

We love Rebecca. She is young and creative, patient and encouraging. She lets kids have fun and teaches them to play what they like. My son would have really pushed back on the piano if it had not been for Rebecca being his teacher. He's really proud of all he has achieved. He wanted to play piano for his school talent show. Rebecca is a gem.

I love how Rebecca makes it fun to learn to play without sacrificing attention to proper technique and theory.

Rebecca is an excellent instructor. She's very thoughtful and patient, and has great "bedside" manor.  I would not describe her as drill instructor/ task master type (not what I want), and yet her methods are persuasive and effective. Plus, she clearly has a love for music and teaching. Keep going Rebecca!

My daughter has studied voice with Rebecca for years and has made tremendous strides. Rebecca is a truly gifted teacher — serious and challenging, while always encouraging and positive. She has a great understanding of kids and knows just how hard to push. Her recitals are warm, intimate, fun events. Most highly recommended.

Rebecca is an amazing multi talented teacher and musician. My daughter began lessons 8 years ago as a complete beginner. Rebecca is amazing with children, keeps them engaged and challenged, as they progress to higher levels of playing. I recommend her whole heartedly!
