The Music Cellar
About
We can teach any student piano, guitar, violin and viola. From wanting to learn just for fun or eventually wanting to perform in places such as an orchestra or Carnegie Hall, we can do it all.
We make sure that our students have fun when they learn and we enjoy when the students come back to us years later with their own children, or just call us to say that we have helped them make a difference. We have been teaching for over 30 years and we hope to continue for many more. Many of our students make it to Carnegie Hall or perform in our recitals or competitions, and each one we make feel like family.
