Piano Lessons in NYC, NY
(212) 537-6746
In a lot of ways, having one-on-one piano lessons with a private teacher beats taking them in a class. In a classroom setting with other students you can easily be left behind. With private piano lessons you can pose questions about chord scales, bebop and half diminished chords directly to your instructor.
Play in Front of an Audience!
Our students got an opportunity this year to play the piano in front of a crowd at our annual spring recital.
We've got some videos from the NY Spring Recital. If you'd like to watch, just click here.
We'll use the availability you supply and match you with a piano teacher in the NYC area.
Give us a call today if you're ready to get started with piano lessons.

Student Reviews
My son has been taking saxophone lessons with Jon for a number of years. Jon is a great musician and a wonderful teacher. He is very patient and supportive. I am sure that my son's experience with Jon has contributed to his decision to continue with the saxophone in High School. We are really grateful to have found him.
ANA - BROOKLYN, NY Teacher: Jon D.About the Piano
Upright pianos, also called vertical pianos, are more compact because the frame and strings are placed vertically, extending in both directions from the keyboard and hammers.
