Christina M. says, "I admit, when I thought about practicing piano in this virtual world we now work in, I was nervous to learn the basics without a guide to accompany me. But with Daniel, it was truly seamless and simple. Since working with Daniel for the first half of 2021, I have managed to learn the basics of piano, and am genuinely enjoying the work. Because Daniel is a music professor and performer by trade, he is the best at starting from scratch and cooking up a custom lesson plan to match your goals. First I was intimidated by his CV, but he was nothing but polite and humble. He finds organic ways to relate the lesson to real-life events, which appeals to learners at all levels. He has a down to earth, honest, open, agile and outgoing personality, which makes working with him fun and exciting. I always walk away from the lesson feeling like I learned the right way to do something, and excited for next week! Daniel grounds all of his lessons in practical music theory, and the difference is obvious when working with a piano teacher. Especially when the lessons are virtual, it was essential to be taught the proper methods and truly grasp them before moving onto the next task. Dr. Beliavsky’s motto that always rings true in his lessons is “It’s all about progress, not perfection.” Daniel had no problem answering my silly questions on method and theory. In the end, it made our lessons more comfortable and carefree, while remaining disciplined and focused. He is a very talented man that makes learning piano - in person or virtually - fun at any age. I’ve recommended him to a few of my girlfriends for children’s piano lessons and they’ve had success with Daniel as well! He was a great find! " Read more

Recent success stories from people in the Union City area.

I graduated from the City College of New York in 2013 with the highest honors for Classical Piano, and am a professional musician: out of all of my teachers, Dr. Beliavsky (whom I studied theory with) is still, to this day, one of the most unforgettable ones who have left an indelible mark on me. His level of expertise in theory, analysis, piano and composition among others is awe inspiring and thought provoking in a truly mind-altering way. He has an uncanny ability to take very complex ideas and making them clear. I am honored to say that I still consult with him to this day about multiple issues, and his level of genuine care, alongside with his phenomenal expertise, makes him, for me, a one of a kind teacher.

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.”

Will has all the attributes of a great teacher. He is knowledgeable, patient and passionate about music. I look forward to the lessons. I always feel like I’m getting better. I take guitar lessons, but Will plays about 6 instruments in total and I think his musical acumen brings and added intangible to the lessons.

I am a graduate from Berklee school of music with a master in jazz studies. I studied music in an academic setting my entire life. But then, I discovered that I was thought the fast way. The way to just get a gig. I then through a friend discovered joe Solomon. Joe’s teaching is the way to internalize the language of music. It’s the way to have a voice and a vocabulary. Not only to get a gig but to feel and experience music. Joe changed my way of seen music forever. He is an amazing musician as well as an amazing human been. If you are serious about Music you must have lessons with Mr. Solomon. He will change your life.

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!
