Piano Lessons in Midtown Manhattan, NY

Instruments: Piano Drums Keyboard

I am comfortable playing jazz styles as well as more rock oriented styles on the drum set. I have been playing piano for years and have a strong background in music theory which allows me to teach sight reading and theory on piano. I am comfortable teaching piano out of my apartment (I have a Casio CDP-130 keyboard), or coming to you. I make an effort to get to know my students goals and current ability on their instrument so that I can play to their strengths and improve their weaknesses. Read More

That is my #1 priority. I emphasize improvisation the most for all my students so they are able to express themselves freely on their instrument! From my experience, most of my students, if not all, practice diligently and consistently because they want to! Not because they are forced to, but because they love to. I explore all types of genre from hip-hop, rock, classical, and jazz in order to expand the student's musical palette. Read More

I believe that each person has the possibility of transforming and developing as musicians - regardless of their starting point. Read More

Following my students musical tastes is a great way to motivate and encourage them while instilling the technical training they need to be great musicians. Read More
