Donald I. says, ""Your masterclass was very special because it was different from the classes given by the other performing piano artists I heard. You, like the others knew when something needed to be fixed or adjusted, but unlike the others, you could tell us the background of why it needed to be changed and exactly how to fix it, plus you showed us the way to see our work through to be a finished product.""

My background in music ed and therapy allows me to reach the student where he or she is; through intellect, or play, taylored to classical, current contemporary styles as well as musicals and other such genre. For more information go to SonataPiano.com I love the people I get to teach... each person is different. I see each as a puzzle piece I get to figure out! Through our interactions it becomes apparent 'how' to teach to their needs.

Reviews for Rochester classical piano lessons

Recent success stories from people in the Rochester area.
Linda S.
My 11 year old grandson, Mason, has been taking classical piano lessons from Dr. Newbrough for almost 2 years, and we find Dr. Newbrough to be a brilliant and inspiring instructor. Every week when we get to Mason’s lesson it feels like we’re passing through a magical portal to a place of peace and well-being! Dr. Newbrough’s sense of humor and use of metaphors exude positive energy which helps to build Mason’s self confidence. Mason anticipates his lesson every week and works hard to make his teacher proud of his accomplishments. Since he has ADHD, Mason has difficulty maintaining his concentration and self control, but Dr. Newbrough is keenly aware of his need to move and then recenter his focus. Mason’s self esteem and belief in himself has soared, culminating in his excitement to perform at recitals and even competitions which I never thought he would do! The gift of piano music and practice in our house has changed and charged our home (and the neighbors’ homes when the windows are open!) with a rare calming ambience and feeling that all is right in the world. As an added bonus, Mason’s piano practice provides an antidote to playing video games all the time, lol ! The beautiful Newbrough Piano Academy has many confident and loving teachers dedicated to infusing piano music into the lives of students young and old. We are blessed to have found this amazing gem of a place, and plan to stay for many years!
