Piano Lessons in NYC
A Well-Rounded Piano Education
We want our students, both kids and adults, to feel confident as not just pianists, but musicians in general. Our piano students are able to listen to pop songs and identify form and chord patterns, appreciate the symphony more deeply, explore and understand new musical genres, and engage in conversations about music.
That said, we teach our piano students how to read music fluently, how to identify key signatures and time signatures, how to play a piece of music beautifully and with great dynamics (not just how to play it with technical perfection), and more. We can also take you through a variety of piano literature by different composers as you improve, so that the list of music you can share with friends and family will continue to grow.
We’ll work on challenging pieces, yes, but we will also present you with easier music that you can use to practice sight reading. We’ll also make sure your playing technique is good and perfectly healthy. For more information about our teaching material, get in touch!
Highly Experienced and Educated Piano Teachers in NYC
The quality of a piano lesson starts with a good teacher. At NY Piano School, our instructors have advanced degrees, years of experience teaching both kids and adults, and professional playing ability. In fact, we are also involved as musicians in both the local musical community and around the world. We believe in leading by example, so we often demonstrate for students in piano lessons.
As mentioned above, our experience also helps us with a deep understanding of the piano repertoire. We can help you find the right piece of baroque, classical, romantic, contemporary, or pop music to aid your development, and we will always give you some options so you can find a piece that you love.
Piano Lessons For Kids in New York City
Whether your child is just starting to learn to play or is already an advanced pianist, we will provide guidance and instruction in a professional, yet friendly and personal manner. We consider it a privilege to share our love of music and to be a part of your child’s musical and personal development.
Students of all backgrounds are welcome and piano lessons are available for beginners all the way through to advanced students.
Why Should Children Take Piano Lessons?
Learning to play the piano involves creative as well as analytical skills, as well as the ability to focus deeply on a task, both in lessons and during independent practice.
We believe all music lessons — especially piano lessons for children — should be creative and thoughtful, always engaging your child’s imagination. Your child’s piano teacher should always engage and encourage your child’s creative thinking, while helping to develop his or her analytical skills.
Piano lessons are a great way for kids to get their introduction to music.
No Auditions Necessary at NY Piano School
We are happy to start young kids on the piano, and we are equally happy to welcome students with years of playing experience. We will spend a lesson or two acquainting ourselves with your child’s musical knowledge, preferences at the piano, and individual aptitude for different musical concepts. Then we will dive in with repertoire selections, technical etudes, theory exercises, and anything else that will help your child play the piano beautifully.
Piano Lessons For Adults in NYC
Lessons Tailored To Your Interests
We take a personal approach to every adult student. We will tailor your lessons to your interests, working with you to identify your goals at the piano and helping you achieve them. We want your experience with piano lessons to be the best.
Some adults are interested in traditional classical lessons — while others want to learn to play the pop songs they know and love.
Some adult learners want to take piano lessons because they find piano playing relaxing, while others are interested in lessons to help perfect their technique. Your teacher will get a sense of what you would like to accomplish and will tailor your lessons to your interests, helping you to learn the music that you want to play.
Adult Beginners are Welcome!
You can learn to play the piano as an adult, even if you’ve never taken lessons before. If you’re an adult beginner, we’ll introduce you to the fundamentals, and get you on your way to playing the music you want to play. Private lessons are a great way for adults to get their introduction to the piano.
We love working with beginners, and whether you’ve played before or this is your first time taking piano lessons, we’re here to help.
