Paul Raucci Piano Lessons

B.M., Cali School of Music

Hello, my name is Paulie Raucci, I am 22 years old, and I am a professional Pianist in the east coast area. I am from New Egypt, NJ and I graduated from Montclair State University at the Cali School of Music in 2025 with a degree in Jazz Performance Piano, and I have been teaching piano lessons for around 8 years now with over 45 students taught. I specialize in Jazz improvisation, as well as Music Theory, Jazz Theory, and Piano Technique, and much more concerning the students needs.

I always look forward to teaching my students of most ages. My biggest fulfillment in teaching is watching the student grow and return with questions and improvement from previous lessons. I know how to explain the mechanics behind what I do and am extremely passionate about it. I know how to adapt to who I am teaching and explain playing the piano in ways my students may have not heard before. I am very articulate and good at improving the child, teen, or adults skill level at a very high pace. My number one priority will always be the student.

I believe what separates me from other piano instructors is my personality and ways of connecting with the student. I am not here to waste anyone's time, I look to build genuine relationships with the student and check up on them throughout the week via phone. 70 percent of my value I bring is my skill level, and 30 percent is who I am. A student may not always want your typical elderly who's been playing their whole life and is looking to settle with teaching as a retirement job. I myself on the other hand deliver much more quality lessons and an experience for the child beyond what the piano brings.

I am looking forward to future clients and cannot wait to learn with you!
