Marli is a great teacher. She is patient with her students, going step by step through a song. Not only does she teach the song, she also reviews the notes and scales of the keyboard with her student. My daughter has learned so much already. I highly recommend Marli.

My daughter Addison began taking with Marli about a year ago now when she had just turned 6 years old. I was initially hesitant about signing Addison up for lessons due to her age and her tendency to be shy, especially in new situations. Marli was incredible with Addison from the very first introductory lesson. Not only is Marli a gifted musician, she was able to adapt to the needs of a 6 year old (no easy task for anyone). Over the past year I have observed Addison grow both musically and personally. Marli has a knack for explaining the complicated in a way that a child can easily grasp. Addison's guitar and piano skills have vastly improved and Addison looks forward to seeing Marli every week and learning something new while developing her core base of skills. I highly recommend Marli.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I begin my lessons with warmup exercises, and afterward the student and I will focus on the main song/concept of the lesson. The last portion of the lesson reviews what we have learned, ensuring that the student has useful notes of what we did and that the student clearly understands all of the information shared during the lesson. If the student requests additional work, I will give small assignments for the student that reflects the lesson concepts.
Since I teach multiple instruments and services, I make sure that I am attentive to each particular student's skills, interests, goals and needs.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have worked at School of Rock for 5 years, and started teaching music lessons 3 years prior.
The university I got my degree from is Hofstra University, and this institution is very well known for its music education program.
