Piano with Reed T.

I am an actively performing concert pianist with over ten years of teaching experience in piano, as well as music theory and ear training. I have personally been playing the piano since the age of four, and my own musical journey has taught me how to motivate students of all ages and experience levels, from beginners to seasoned pianists looking to refine their musicianship. My lessons generally take place at my comfortable studio in Forest Hills (Queens), NY - where I have an excellent Yamaha grand piano - though I am open to traveling to students' homes depending on location. Young beginners will instantly benefit from my creative, positive approach, and will be playing songs immediately. Intermediate and advanced students will receive detailed attention to technical and musical issues - all part of a teaching legacy passed down to me from the world-class faculty of the Mannes College of Music, where I earned both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Piano Performance. I am a prize-winner of several international competitions, and perform frequently both within the US and internationally, My experiences on stage greatly inform my teaching. However, my performance schedule does NOT interfere with my ability to give regular lessons. I believe in the interconnectedness of all art forms - literature and visual art also play an important role in my approach to music. Most of all, I believe that every student is unique, and therefore, my approach is tailored to the particular needs of every student, individually. I look forward to making music together!
