Piano Lessons in Larchmont, NY

I create custom lesson plans graded to progressively build the student's confidence, introducing something new at each lesson.

I require students to learn scales; however, I avoid most technical method books. Instead, I invent exercises based on the challenges of a particular piece. Read More

I like to teach both by ear and by reading music, which accommodates different learning styles a student may have. Read More

Every student is different so I never take a cookie cutter approach in my lessons. I will address every issue or question each individual student has. I like to figure out what inspires my students and use that to cater their lesson to them. If one of my students really like movie theme music we will learn those songs. If one of my students doesn't like playing classical music we will work on jazz, funk, and rock! Read More
