You’ve Always Wanted to Play the Piano…
But as an adult, you might think you’re too old, worry about not having enough time, or feel nervous about starting something new. It might seem as if your musical opportunity has slipped away, and playing a full song on the piano feels unreachable.
Don’t blame yourself—life gets busy, and it’s natural to have concerns about learning something new as adults.
Now is the perfect time to focus on yourself and your aspirations. Imagine the immense pride you’ll feel as you master the piano and effortlessly play the songs you’ve always enjoyed listening to. That moment, when you realize you’ve transformed into a skilled pianist, will be truly unforgettable.

You probably have a passion for music, right? You might have even tried a trial lesson, some private piano lessons, or online lessons with an experienced teacher and musician and it didn’t work out. Now, you landed here, saw our music lessons, and are thinking about taking the opportunity for an introductory lesson to see what all the hoopla is about. You’re most likely an adult beginner not looking for anything fancy or too serious with a teacher who can teach you your favorite piece of music one day and introduce you to various musical styles, not just classical music. You want a teacher who is going to help foster your enjoyment of music through piano. Well, you’ve come to the right place. These are not kids piano lessons.
Here, I provide classes for adults who have varied skill levels, especially those who are absolute beginners. Unlike a lot of big-box music stores that teach thousands of students under dozens of piano instructors who don’t have the time to focus on your musical goals because they’re so busy, I am the sole teacher here in a private music school with only a select number of piano students. A lot of piano instructors in those stores and even a lot of private teachers are not experienced piano teachers with a lot of piano experience. Here, your piano classes will be customized to you to make your piano studies well-rounded, which includes reading sheet music, music theory, and performance opportunities. My classes for adults are different from traditional, private lessons in that I provide private practice time within the lesson to foster independent learning. I teach the fundamentals while also adding in songs and pieces of music you enjoy. I teach beginner piano students, intermediate piano students, and advanced students. Intermediate piano lessons aren’t much different from beginners lessons in that they’re still held in the lab format- you don’t need private piano lessons even at an intermediate level. If you’re an advanced player and are looking to train for college auditions in front of piano faculty to get a degree in piano performance or music education, NYSSMA, or gain professional performance experience, I also provide private coaching. Advanced music students need private lessons to focus on more things. If you need a digital piano or piano at home, plenty of stores provide rental programs if you’re not sure if you’ll stick with it.
Before and After Personalized Piano Lessons
I asked a few students what their life was like before Chatalbash Lessons and how it’s improved after enrolling. Wow, what a difference!
AFTER: “I can sit at any piano and make music. It’s incredible how fast it happened.”
BEFORE: “I tried teaching myself piano off of Youtube, but I kept hitting roadblocks.”
AFTER: “In just a few lessons, Sara made playing the piano easier and simpler than before.”
BEFORE: “I thought, “Am I too old to learn? Can I really do this? This looks really hard.”
AFTER: “Sara put my fears to rest. It’s wild that I can play songs that actually sound like the song!”
