Traditional Instruction With a Personal Touch
Really great piano instruction is based on sound principles and proven tradition — and — is positive, personal, individually tailored and creative! Your child will:
- Learn to think creatively in the context of music and art, and to express him or herself through music
- Acquire an effective technique and develop confidence at the piano
Your child’s piano lessons will be personalized to his or her unique needs and personality. Learning to play the piano should be a happy experience. Your child’s lessons will be something he or she looks forward to every week!
Personalized Lessons for All Ages
We take a personal approach to every single student. Whether just starting preschool or a senior in high school, your child will receive exceptional musical instruction in a warm and supportive environment!
Lessons in NYC
In-home lessons are offered in Manhattan and throughout NYC. If you live in the city, your teacher will come to you! However, we also offer lessons at a site conveniently located in midtown Manhattan.
Music Theory
A grasp of music theory fundamentals helps musicians to better understand the music they are playing.
- We make sure to introduce children to basic theory concepts including intervals, chords, inversions, as well as the basics of harmony and melody, as a regular part of piano lessons.
- If your child shows special interest, we explore the topic deeper, including concepts such as advanced harmonic function, form and structure, and much more.
Lesson Durations
Lessons are offered in New York City, in 30-min., 45-min., and 60-min. sessions.
- For our youngest beginners 30-minute sessions are a great place to start.
- For older children or more advanced students, 45-min. or 60-min. lessons are typically much more productive.
Why the Piano?
The piano is a powerful and remarkably versatile instrument, capable of great expression. There is a tremendous amount of music written for the piano, from the simplest pieces to the most complicated sonatas. Additionally, popular and other ‘non-classical’ music can be arranged very well for the piano, sometimes sounding richer than the original song.
Learning to play the piano involves creative as well as analytical skills, as well as the ability to focus deeply on a task.
If you have very young kids and you would like simply to introduce them to music, piano lessons are a great way to do so!
