    Attentive Music Lessons for Kids and Adults from an experienced and established teacher

    My approach is to be as attentive as possible to where the student wants to go, which dictates a different way of teaching. A student that wants to learn pop songs is not the same as a student who really wants to play Rachmaninov. Having said that, for a student that is willing to absorb as much as he possibly can from me, I would guide them into advanced technique, superb ear training and in-depth harmonic and theoretical understanding of the music they play.

    About Shy K.

    I graduated with Honors from The City College of New York with a BfA in Classical Piano. I have enjoyed playing all types of music during my professional career, including with famous artists. I’ve been playing and performing for thirty years, and have been composing for over twenty years. I began teaching eighteen years ago and thoroughly enjoy explaining the elements of music and how to play it to inquisitive minds.
