Piano Lessons in Upper West Side, NY

Taking private piano lessons has its advantages over taking lessons in a class setting. It's easy to get left behind in a class with other students. With private piano lessons your teacher can concentrate on you specifically by answering your questions about performing in styles like pop, jazz and classical.

Student Reviews
Lindsay L. has been my daughter's vocal coach and music teacher for 3 years. Lindsay's teaching technique for my daughter has resulted in her going from a shy, could hardly hear her singer to a singer who competed in the Brooklyn-Queens High School Music Competition with an excellent score. Lindsay haas helped her with note reading and music theory in school. There are no words excellent enough to describe what a superior teacher and role model Lindsay has been for my daughter. I recommend her enthusiastically and wholeheartedly to any parent who is looking for these fine qualities in a music teacher for their child.

Playing the piano is sometimes referred to as "tickling the ivories."
