Piano Lessons in Woodcliff Lake, NJ

Instruments: Piano Voice

I always like to give the opportunity to the students to work on the material that they are more interested in. If the lesson is with a beginning student I work mostly on technique and when I feel the student is ready we move on to repertoire. In general, I start with a good warm up where students can record it on their devices so they can use it at home as well. Read More

I love to do a combination of Suzuki and traditional styles. I believe ear-training and traditional sight-reading are both crucial to young musicians. I began Suzuki piano when I was five and I'm so thankful to have such a keen ear as a professional violinist. If the student has had music lessons before, I'm very happy to continue teaching whatever method they had previously started with. I believe method should be catered to the student and the student's needs as a beginning/intermediate musician. Read More

Im an elementary music teacher based in New York City! I moved to New York just over 8 months ago from Louisiana. I have loved getting to experience the creativity and art scene in the city, and am excited to further my teaching experience here. Before moving, I taught voice lessons for 6 years! I have taught all ages, from 3 to 90 (and am willing to expand!) My goal is to help people to understand their voices, and to just have fun. Read More

The approach I take is individualized and utilizes multiple teaching methods. Every student brings unique qualities and different interests and it is my job to find a way to connect those qualities and interests to music. One thing I emphasize is continued learning. If we are working on fundamentals of piano technique I find a way to slowly introduce more concepts that will be developed later on in our lessons. Read More

I use all in combination, depending on previous experiences of the student.

I am passionate about teaching kids (and adults) music fundamentals and about helping them find the spark that will keep them interested and growing. I believe it is important to teach good technical and musical habits from the beginning, along with basics of music theory. But I believe it is just as important to explore the students individual motivations for learning an instrument and what will bring them a sense of accomplishment and joy. Read More
