Barry Neikrug

I have been a private piano teacher for the past 25 plus years. I give 1 hour lessons at the student's home.

The lineage: I studied with Leonard Shure (over 8 years), who studied with Schnabel, who studied with Leschetizky, who studied with Czerny, who studied piano with Beethoven.

I have studied with many teachers but I learned more from my first lesson with my last teacher, Shure, than the combined total of all my lessons prior to that. Not all teachers are created equal.

The first 2 lessons are free so you can experience my style of teaching. I have a particular specialty in teaching beginners.
