Karen H. says, "In August, 2012, under Patrick’s guidance, I returned to piano study after a hiatus of 10 years. With infinite patience and great sense of humor, Patrick helped me rebuild my technique, expand my repertoire and regain my confidence as a pianist. As an educator myself, I can attest to the fact that Patrick has an excellent understanding of adult learners and their particular needs. I recommend him highly!" Read more

Sami G. says, "My 17 year old daughter has been taking lessons with Barbara for the past 5 years. In additions to voice, she has learned piano, sight reading and music theory. Barbara’s focus on teaching fundamental skills, sound basics and how to properly warm up and care for your voice have allowed my daughter not just to learn to sing but to grow and develop independently as a singer. Barbara’s knowledge and expertise equal what you would expect to find in music conservatory voice professors, and in fact, my daughter has had college professors and other professionals complement “whoever is your voice teacher” after hearing her perform. We are truly grateful for the expert instruction, caring and dedication Barbara provides and would highly recommend her to any singer at any level." Read more

I focus on enjoying the process of learning and exploring music, rather than the idea of performing alone.I encourage that to my students and try to find ways to make the process enjoyable and exciting for them.I believe that playing music as well as learning music should always be a fun and a joyable experience. Music is universal and very personal at the same time, so I always try to be sensitive to how each student perceives and learns music as each one of us is unique and develops in his or her own way. The process of constantly discovering and exploring music and it’s benefits.I enjoy seeing the positive effects it has on my students and...

Hello! My approach to teaching beginner and intermediate piano focuses on building a strong, personal connection to the instrument while fostering creativity, technical growth, and confidence in a fun and engaging way. I've been playing for over a decade, and as a Master’s student in Composition at The New School, I love guiding students toward the music they’re passionate about while introducing essential techniques and theory in a way that feels natural and inspiring. Whether a student wants to play for enjoyment or explore composing their own music, I create a supportive space where they can develop their skills and express themselves free

How much do classical piano lessons cost?

Classical piano lessons cost $40 to $80 hourly on average. Piano lesson packages cost $150 to $360 per month for weekly private lessons in-home or at a studio. Musicians recommend in-person lessons for classical piano playing so that the teacher can correct your hand positions better.

How long must you take piano lessons to play classical?

You must take piano lessons for 1 to 2 years with consistent practice to play simple classical pieces. Some people can make faster progress if they practice more often or have prior musical experience.

How do I find the best classical piano lessons near me?

  • Talk to students on their references list.
  • Collect a written agreement and a lesson timeline before lessons begin.

  • How many years have you been teaching piano?
  • What is your formal music education background?
  • Which classical music composers are your favorites?
  • What is the typical age range of your students?

  • What textbooks do I need, and what's their cost?
  • Do you give assignments or pieces to memorize after each lesson?
  • Can you adapt your teaching style based on the individual student's needs?
  • What should I bring with me to our lessons?

Reviews for Valley Stream classical piano lessons

Recent success stories from people in the Valley Stream area.
Katherine H.
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.”

He's a great teacher: encouraging, but also knows when and how to critique and not discourage a beginner. Makes sure it is challenging, but not overwhelming. Encyclopedic knowledge of jazz and music theory. Definitely recommend!

So many things! Not only is she very knowledgeable about what she teaches, but she's good at making it relatable and enjoyable. She's also firm enough to help me push forward while being gentle enough to boost morale and keep me confident rather than discouraged. Working with Barbara helped me develop a deeper love of music, experience growth in my musicianship, and develop confidence that helps me even outside of music lessons. I'm grateful to have been studying her for the past 4 years!

Glafkos is extremely professional and talented musician, very passionate about the music. He has a great attitude and has been very patient teaching my children the piano. His teaching techniques make it easy to understand new complex pieces, he is very thorough and pays attention to small but important details. Glafkos encourages not only to learn how to play the piano, but to understand the music from the inside. My children always enjoy his lessons. They started taking lessons with Glafkos almost 5 years ago and they have made a great deal of progress in their playing and more important have developed an appreciation to the beauty of classical music.

Joe recently came to us to teach our twin sons, beginners and age 6.5. On his first visit he got them excited about piano and learning and was able to teach them concepts they grasped immediately. He has the gift to encourage to do well in a playful but firm way that speaks to kids. I highly recommend his teaching approach and we look forward to continuing instructions with him.

"I've been studying with Debi Toni for the past month and it's a wonderful experience. I've seen consistent growth and development. Her expertise is powerful. She's able to detect when I need to be pushed further. Also, she gives great analogies and metaphors to help me understand vocal range and instantly improve my vocal skills. Toni is a vocal scientist. I've learned so much about music and singing because of her long history in the industry. In addition, Toni is a lovely person and a pleasure to work with! Singers at any level wanting to go the next should definitely reach out to Debi Toni."
