Mike J. says, "I came into lessons with Alice as a 37-year-old with ZERO musical experience in my life -- and she had me playing Mozart and Beethoven within 3 months! I really liked Alice's outside-the-box way of teaching; she would use analogies and metaphors to break down complex concepts into simple things to remember on the keys, to make learning more successful. She's also just a fun person to hang out with once a week! Can't recommend learning with Alice enough." Read more

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've played piano since I was seven, and can't imagine my life without music. I was lucky to develop perfect pitch too, maybe partially because of my early start. I enjoy seeing students develop and I like helping them learn whatever music they are into, in addition to the fundamentals. I also teach the basics of audio engineering: session setup, microphone technique, console, tape machine, Pro Tools.

Hello! I have been playing the piano for 22 years. I started teaching myself as a way to entertain my grandfather, and quickly fell in love with the instrument. I am passionate about sharing music with others and seeing my students grow and develop as musicians. I give my piano students a well-rounded approach to the instrument, whether you want your child to play classical music, have fun with popular songs, or prepare to play at church. If you are an adult who has always wanted to play, I would love to teach you as well! I have 13 years of experience in teaching private piano lessons.

How long must you take piano lessons to play classical?
