Parnian K

Instruments: Piano Flute

I began teaching when I was a high school student, about 7 years ago, with the flute. I was part of the school symphony so took students from my class and tutored them on their technique and stamina to play richer, louder, longer tones.  After becoming involved with more children as well as children with special needs through my work in university I began teaching musicality to kids in different settings, which led me to start teaching the piano to beginners.

Sierra Z

Instruments: Piano Voice Ukulele Keyboard

I am a passionate and motivated musician and music teacher and I absolutely adore sharing my love of music with my students! I graduated from Point Park University with my BA in Musical Theatre in 2017, and joined the national tour of "Peter & Wendy" with Missoula Children's Theatre for a few months before returning to my hometown in California to teach. I recently made the leap to New York City and have the opportunity to teach here, a job that I am so privileged to have! Read More

Madison A

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Piccolo Music

My teaching career began at age 18. I started with only two students, and have since grown to teaching at three studios with 23 students across all studios. My main focus with all of my students is to expose them to all that music can offer them. Not only is music scientifically proven to improve brain function (it literally makes you smarter), it also promotes important qualities in young students; being an instrumentalist helps you learn responsibility (taking care of an instrument), discipline (daily practice), and perseverance (continuing to play despite mistakes).

Jay Jay W

Instruments: Piano

From the moment my fingers touched the keys, my passion for the piano never ceased. Starting as a self-taught player, I received formal training in the instrument at the University of California, Davis under the instruction of Marilyn Swan. There I played in several chamber ensembles, including a performance of Schubert's Trout Quintet. I have also accompanied recitals for fellow musicians of various instruments, including a double bass and a cello. Read More

Art H

Instruments: Piano Accordion

My teaching style is very simple. Be creative and always involved humor. The student will know instantly if the instructor is eager to teach as the student to learn. For example, i would use a lot of metaphors and analogies to explain a musical concept. I would always tailor lessons to their level of skill. Nothing is more rewarding than to see one of my student's at a recital and i hear their parent's tell their friends,"that's my son", "he learned from the best". Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Gretchen S

Instruments: Piano Organ

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I have written an E-book about practicing well! Rather than include it here, I will happily share it with my students. The basics include avoiding negative self-talk, making realistic goals for the practice time available (which changes from one day to the next), working on a variety of passages rather than obsessing about just one, and identifying what needs to be improved rather than starting at the beginning and repeating what you already know. And I'll sure I will have a few more suggestions! I have studied with teachers who had no idea how to learn music. Finally, at age 28, I had the good fortune to study with a world-renowned professional pianist in New York. He had to learn music on deadline, and passed a great deal of his expertise on to his students. I am so grateful.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
First, I should say that Suzuki lessons are wonderful, as are Kodaly and Orff classes. All have proven results. However, that is not my training. The best scenario for me is with students who securely know their left from their right hand. This is because directions change on the piano and can become confusing. ("Down" is "left" on the keyboard.) In addition, by age 8, children's attention span has typically improved. If you have a younger child, you may want to consider a class for children and parents together. Play music for them, sing to them, dance with them, and let them bang on pots and pans. Children's choir is also a great way to go. They will be gaining awareness of melody and rhythm, forming an excellent foundation for lessons. As soon as the child is moving to music, jumping around, smiling, and singing along, s/he is ready to try having lessons.

When will I start to see results?
This is an excellent question! Results start to appear very quickly! Everyone will be playing a tune in the very first lesson. More complicated pieces using both hands together will take a little longer. I have seen adult beginners playing for their families with both hands after two months. The students were surprised that family members recognized the songs! This exact scenario has happened over and over. FYI, I am talking about realistic results here. To play at Carnegie Hall, everyone needs years and years of preparation, just so you know. Recordings make it sound like everything must happen instantly. Some things do.... ;-) Hold that thought!!!

Tips for Buying A Digital Piano

...digital piano will also usually feature built in recording software and a metronome. Features to consider: Weighted keys: One of the most important features to consider when purchasing digital piano is weighted keys. Simply put, this means that the keys have a weight to them that is similar to the acoustic piano, and does not feel like they’re made of light plastic. Touch sensitive keyboards: This means that when you play softly, the sound comes out softly, when you play loud, the sound comes out loud. Some inexpensive keyboards do not have this feature, and thus everything sounds dynamically the same. Keyboard size: you will want to choose a keyboard that has at least 61 keys on it. However, it is worth an investment to purchase a piano ... Read More

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
