    In my younger years I was a professional classical guitarist. I actually have a Masters of Music Performance. I should have known how to play music but I didnt. I realize this now due to my work with Marion Radow. I played the notes correctly but I didnt make music. This is Marions skill. She teaches you to play music.
    She works to ensure that you understand the components of your sheet music so that you dont just play, but you create an musical atmosphere that the composer was striving to get across. I have learned more about how to play musically in the last two years than I did in the 20 years of playing in my youth.
    It doesnt matter what level of piano skill you have, Marion can make the piece musical if you listen to her. I have found that some of my procedures needed to be unlearned. She patiently reminds me of how to practice and in what order to address my assignments.
    I am very grateful to have Marion as my teacher.

    An excellent, well-rounded teacher. She has a unique sense of hunor and a likeable personality. She wants the best for her students and asks just to do the work she has assigned you ( like any other teacher ). She knows the quickest, and easiest way to learn piano. She really enjoys connecting with her students and is definitely the best of the best. In the past 2-3 years that Ive had her, I have soared through music that wouldve taken me even longer to pass with past teachers. Would totally go with The Piano Studio, all the way

    Frequently asked questions

    I'm extremely apt at "reading" a student's personality and eagerness to learn, even if they are very shy. Since everyone learns differently, my approach to each and every student is specific to them.

    Graduate Music Major, Hunter College, NYC.

    Lessons are a Flat Rate monthly, which takes into consideration holidays that are listed in The Piano Studio Policies and Procedures. $100 per month for a 30 minute weekly lesson; $150 per month for a 45 minute lesson and $200 per month for an hour weekly lesson. 

    I started taking piano lessons at the age of 12. At 15 yrs my teacher had me helping students LEARN TO LEARN! At 18yrs old I started my own Piano Studio.

    ALL AGES AND SKILL LEVELS

    Several of my students participated in evaluations from The National Guild of Piano Teachers...and did fabulously well!

    Ask HOW they give assisgnments. They must be specific so you know what to do when you leave a lesson.

    What types of music they think they might like to learn. But they won't really know until they get started and have learned all the basics well...reading notes, counting and the importance of fingering.
