Hello! My approach to teaching beginner and intermediate piano focuses on building a strong, personal connection to the instrument while fostering creativity, technical growth, and confidence in a fun and engaging way. I've been playing for over a decade, and as a Master’s student in Composition at The New School, I love guiding students toward the music they’re passionate about while introducing essential techniques and theory in a way that feels natural and inspiring. Whether a student wants to play for enjoyment or explore composing their own music, I create a supportive space where they can develop their skills and express themselves free

Kerry S. says, " My young son and I had the good fortune to become piano students of virtuoso concert pianist Judy Kameny. Kind, patient and versatile, she is clearly skilled at teaching all ages. Using the traditional classical teaching method, Judy not only taught us how to play the piano but instilled in us a true understanding of theory, the “bones”, so to speak, of the pieces we were playing. For an unforgettable, rewarding learning experience I highly recommend Judy. She gave my son and me the gift of music and a love of playing the piano." Read more

I focus on enjoying the process of learning and exploring music, rather than the idea of performing alone.I encourage that to my students and try to find ways to make the process enjoyable and exciting for them.I believe that playing music as well as learning music should always be a fun and a joyable experience. Music is universal and very personal at the same time, so I always try to be sensitive to how each student perceives and learns music as each one of us is unique and develops in his or her own way. The process of constantly discovering and exploring music and it’s benefits.I enjoy seeing the positive effects it has on my students and...

Maia S.
He's a great teacher: encouraging, but also knows when and how to critique and not discourage a beginner. Makes sure it is challenging, but not overwhelming. Encyclopedic knowledge of jazz and music theory. Definitely recommend!

Joe recently came to us to teach our twin sons, beginners and age 6.5. On his first visit he got them excited about piano and learning and was able to teach them concepts they grasped immediately. He has the gift to encourage to do well in a playful but firm way that speaks to kids. I highly recommend his teaching approach and we look forward to continuing instructions with him.

Glafkos is extremely professional and talented musician, very passionate about the music. He has a great attitude and has been very patient teaching my children the piano. His teaching techniques make it easy to understand new complex pieces, he is very thorough and pays attention to small but important details. Glafkos encourages not only to learn how to play the piano, but to understand the music from the inside. My children always enjoy his lessons. They started taking lessons with Glafkos almost 5 years ago and they have made a great deal of progress in their playing and more important have developed an appreciation to the beauty of classical music.

I am so glad we found Michelle of Take Note Lessons. We have a 5th grader and 8th grader who both actively enjoy piano lessons and are both progressing well. Michelle adapts her teaching style to fit students' personalities - we see this demonstrated weekly as our girls certainly have their individual quirks....and nothing seems to phase her! She's open and warm enough that they both feel they can talk to her and yet they quickly buckle down to work too. Strongly recommend!

As a theory teacher, Patrick Kreeger possesses the exact teaching style the subject requires. Patience, availability for questions and dedication to my desire to learn best define my experience with Patrick. It was such dedication that also made him call me out when he didn’t think I was doing my best or was making careless mistakes. Perhaps this wouldn’t be that outstanding except that Patrick did all of this long distance; he was in Philadelphia and I was in Delaware. He was timely in mailing me assignments and tests, and even more so in grading and returning them. I learned more from him in the 2 years I studied with him than I did in my last year of theory in my undergrad at music school. If you have the opportunity to study with Patrick Kreeger, consider yourself lucky. You couldn’t find better quality teaching elsewhere.”

Ivan is a creative and supportive teacher who helped me get past my own doubts about my ability to learn to play and that I could make and enjoy music. He is fun and supportive and offers generously of his enormous musical knowledge and especially experience of bringing music to so many students. Great teacher!
