Kids & Teen Lessons
Build their self-esteem. Playing the piano is meant to be fun and engaging, not stale and boring.
Adults Lessons
It’s never too late to start playing the piano. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you can play music.
How Do I Get Started?
That’s easy. Follow the three simple steps below so you can
stop thinking about the piano and actually start playing it.
1. Take Your Assessment
This 30 second Readiness Assessment will help deternine if you’re actually ready to start playing the piano. I’ll ask a few quick questions like are you a beginner, intermediate or advanced player? What are some of your concerns? What are your goals? Once I get your request, an email will be sent to you with your results. If you’re ready, you’ll move to step 2. This assessment is valuable to anyone who is interested in playing the piano.
2. Request Your Intro
The second part of the assessment will determine if you feel that this is the studio for you by coming in for an intro lesson. This intro lesson will allow you to get a feel for how piano lessons will be going forward. Half the lesson will be spent giving instruction on how to sit, how to position your hands so you’re not in pain, and so much more. The other half will be spent talking about your goals and what you expect going forward. This is the time to see if you vibe with Sara. Once the lesson is done, you can decide if this is the studio for you.
3. Play Music You Love
If you decide to take lessons here, that is when the magic really happens! Once you are a student here, you will be on the road to playing the piano with ease. My Lab Lessons are the perfect piano lessons for beginners and intermediates and my Elite Lessons are reserved for more advanced players. I want you to become the kind of pianist that YOU want to be. Want to be the casual player at parties? I got you. Want to fly through challenging classical pieces? I can help you do that, too.

Ok, This All Sounds Great, but Do You
Have Any Actual Reviews?
Sure do! Below you can read reviews from Paul, Deb, and Nicole.
What Makes You Different from the
Other Piano Lesson Schools?
For starters, I want you to play the music you actually like.
The number of people looking for piano lessons in Massapequa has increased in recent years, while the number of qualified piano teachers has decreased. If you reside in Massapequa and want to learn how to play the piano, you probably don’t want to wait years for a skilled teacher to start teaching in your neighborhood.
So many Massapequins (is that a word?) make the mistake of hiring an underqualified teacher, which leads to unhealthy habits, failure to meet goals, and a terrible piano lesson experience, which eventually leads to quitting. Regardless, they chose the instructor since he or she was the closest. We wouldn’t be on Long Island if we could get anything we wanted in the town we lived in (I still travel 22 minutes for the greatest BBQ on Long Island)!
This is the point at which I slip in and announce myself. Sara Chatalbash is the owner and instructor of Chatalbash Lessons.
If you’ve been looking for piano lessons in Massapequa and want to learn how to play the piano quickly and easily, I can help.
I’m going to be completely open and honest with you. My purpose is not to mold you into the pianist I see for you. My purpose is to assist you in becoming the pianist you desire. The lessons here are completely tailored to you and your goals, whether you want to learn to play for fun, join a band, or prepare for music school.Yes, I use many music books in my piano classes, but just to teach you concepts and provide you with the physical skills required to play the piano and compose music. When you sit down at the piano, you’ll know precisely what to do.
With that said, if you’re seeking piano lessons in Massapequa but are ready to drive to our studio, you should get your Readiness Assessment right now; it’ll put you miles ahead of everyone else learning piano right now!

There’s a Bunch of Teachers Out There. How Do
I Find the Right Piano Teacher for Me?
Whether you go with me or another music teacher, I highly recommend your teacher have these qualities so that you have the best chance of enjoying lessons.
A Teacher Who Teaches All Levels
If your music teacher only teaches beginners, you will outgrow them after a couple of years max and have to go find someone new.
A Teacher Who Can Play Advanced Music
If they can play advanced music (and I don’t just mean classical music) you know that they will be able to give you comprehensive music lessons.
A Teacher Who Has a Degree in Piano
You know that your instructor had proper training in performance, theory and pedagogy (teaching) for your music lessons.
They Must Explain Things Simply
Your music teacher must be able to explain things in a way that makes sense to you and not talk as if you went to some music academy or already know music theory.
NOT The Cheapest Teacher
A music teacher who is the cheapest most likely will be the most inexperienced, which is why they’re undercutting the industry.
Must Let You Choose Your Music
Whether it’s classical or rock, you should play the music that made you want to play piano in the first place.

I’m Looking for Piano Lessons in Massapequa
Why Should I Take Lessons at This Studio?
Here are a few quick reasons you may enjoy taking lessons here.
Fun & Supportive Environment
I believe in keeping music lessons fun and upbeat; nobody wants a tyrant for a teacher or to feel like they’re in school. I’m not one of those teachers who teaches every student the same way. Every student has a different personality and learns differently so it’s important for a teacher to customize music lessons to their students.
Relaxed, Casual Recitals
I’m also not one of those teachers who likes to torture their students with formal recitals. I like to give music performance opportunities in more relaxed settings, where friends and family can enjoy a cup of coffee while hearing your performance. I even have a backyard potluck over the summer where students play whatever they want! Classical music, jazz music, Latin music, Christian music, pop music, rock music, blues music, country music, R&B music, rap music….you name it, you can play it!
Continued Student Success
The students in this music studio consistently score high in NYSSMA and theory exams, win classical performance competitions, and many more are accepted into the top music schools. My students are amazing!
Cross-Genre Secrets
I’ve experimented with many forms of music. I’ve jammed and recorded with indie music bands and improvised at Fat Cat in NYC playing jazz music. I love incorporating non-classical music elements into lessons and giving the theory behind them so, as I said before, whether you’re into jazz music, Latin music, Christian music, pop music, rock music, blues music, country music, R&B music, rap music, or you really love classical music, I teach it all so there’s no limit on what styles you can learn.
Ever the Student
I don’t ever want to fall into the “those who can’t do, teach” group so I still practice, give a music performance in every recital, and challenge myself even as a music teacher. I know what it’s like to be a student. If your teacher can’t play the music that they’re teaching you, that’s a red flag. You want a teacher who can take you from A-Z and a teacher you won’t outgrow.
Unique Lab Lessons
This is a unique way to learn music. This way of teaching gives you the privacy that you need during the lesson so that you don’t feel like the teacher is hovering over you as you practice. Having to give a music performance every second of your lesson is stressful! From classical to pop, these lessons will skyrocket your results.
