About
All of our teachers are professional musicians. Staff are graduates from The Hartt School and Columbia Teachers College. With this combination, SI Music Lessons is unique. You will learn from a teacher with a true passion for music and creates an enjoyable, engaging & motiviating lesson. Our staff also works or has worked at: La Guardia High School, Staten Island Conservatory, City Music Schools, Music on the Move & Rustic Music.
Teaching one-on-one is a true challenge becasue the student can't and won't fall through the cracks like in a classroom. I greatly enjoy the quick thinking to get the proper results. I view my teaching more like an apprenticeship.
