Caryn began studying piano at the age of 8. Growing up in a musical household, she was surrounded by music lessons every day as her mother taught piano lessons in her home studio. Nowadays, Caryn teaches piano as well as flute lessons both in her studio in Bushwick as well as students' homes.
Early in her career, Caryn worked in the A&R dept of Disney's Lyric Street Records, in charge of selecting songs and editing mixes before they were put on the market. Shortly afterward, Caryn was editing chord charts, tracking piano parts, coordinating session schedules, and managing live studio sessions for Disney record producer Fred Mollin. After years of work in the music business, Caryn left to pursue a new path of creating a piano and flute instruction studio. She began teaching piano, theory, sightreading, and composition to students through a music store and her own personal students.
Caryn has developed a music teaching style that follows closely with the student's desired goals, while mainting a balance of Theory, Sightreading, Composition, and Technique.
