Piano Lessons Hempstead

Avoid the mindset of not investing in a proper instrument until you know you’re serious. If you’re taking lessons, then you should know whether you’re serious about learning piano or not. You should do some reflecting and ask yourself if this is something you want for yourself and how much you’re willing to invest in it. Even if you do end up stopping lessons in the future, you can always sell your instrument! If you have a keyboard that has less than 88 keys and the keys are unweighted/semi-weighted, please upgrade your instrument before starting lessons. You will thank yourself later!

Yes! The studio schedule doesn’t operate on a school schedule so lessons are taught all year round with the exception of a few vacation weeks you will know about in advance. Please plan your summer schedule accordingly so that you can consistently attend your lessons.

I teach all lessons at my studio in Wantagh where all students have their own quality instrument to learn on and plenty of extra cool resources available to use. I do not travel to students’ homes.

Unlike a lot of piano teachers, I didn’t teach myself and this isn’t a hobby or side job for me.

I was trained for 16 years by many professional pianists who have their BM degrees on piano and/or piano performance and I graduated from The Crane School of Music, a renowned school that breeds some of the best educators in the country.

I’ve been teaching piano for 14 years and have been a pianist for 26. I’ve performed professionally at numerous venues and even on studio records. I also have experience with online lessons.

Whether you choose me or someone else, they should be professionally trained to be an instructor, be able to play/teach beginner-advanced, and piano should be their main instrument. It’s a plus if they can teach all musical genres so if you’re interested in something specific like jazz, they can teach it to you.

There are only 4 students maximum in a class so that means you’ll get a bunch of time with me throughout an entire hour. You will get all the time with me that you actually NEED. You THINK you need a ton of attention and for me to be looking at you every single second to correct you, but you DON’T actually need that much attention from me. It ends up being a crutch and you will learn to be helpless when I’m not around. You can ask as many questions as you want in class and I will answer them all. The only time I won’t be looking at you is when I give you a little time on your own to practice what I just taught you. I cycle around to each student many times throughout the hour so you’ll never be left alone for longer than a few minutes at a time.

Lessons are always customized to the individual student. Not everyone learns the same or has the same interests so it’s my job to ask what your goals and interests are and help you get there as quickly as possible. Everyone learns their fundamentals from their lesson books, but your supplemental music will all be different and you get to pick what you play!
