I have been teaching private lessons for over a decade, and my love for bringing music into people's lives is a regular gift unto myself. As a professional musician, I have toured the country playing everything from rock to jazz to blues to hip-hop to classical to indie to electronica. I pride myself on a vast wealth of musical knowledge and the ability to create individualized lessons that allow my students to play the music they want to play. One of the greatest honors of my job is becoming a part of family's lives. Not only do i get to watch my students' knowledge and abilities increase, I get to see their lives grow and expand.

Jocelyn D. says, "Rebecca is awesome!!! She was truly so engaged and skilled will my two (very different) kids. When my older daughter struggled and decided that piano was “not for her” we pivoted to singing lessons that really met her where she was at. She had so much fun! My younger daughter loved learning piano! Rebecca always found gentle ways to bring them into the music and they both really liked connecting with her and generally, it was lovely to have her in our home for in home lessons! I highly recommend her!" Read more

Nancy M. says, "It is absolute pleasure that I write a letter of recommendation for Irina Kasatkina. Irina has been my children's piano and for the past 7 years. My 17 year old (presently) and my 13 year old girls loved her from the very beginning, connecting with her warmth and enthusiasm as well as her consistently positive approach. Irina is a patient teacher and treats each child with love for their individuality. Never-the-less, she has standards and expectations that she makes clear to them and they have learned the benefits of self discipline as it regards to music and other aspects of their lives. My children have progressed as both piano and harp players, gaining self- confidence and skill that will help them socially and for enjoyment, their entire lives. Irina's true vocation for music and teaching is obvious. I highly recommend Irinaas a music teacher for any adult or child who wishes to learn. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to recommend someone I truly believe in! Sincerely, Nancy Muggoch, NP, MS, ACHPN " Read more

I've played in many bands, ensembles and theater productions, from Pop to Rock and Jazz, and studied Jazz Performance on Bass and Piano at the University of Colorado, Denver. I love teaching, and have a wealth of experience in creating a curriculum with students and parents which fits their specific aptitude, practice schedule, and desired results. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Jeff M. says, "It was my good luck to be referred to Barbara Alex when I decided to become an “adult beginner” piano student. Barbara is patient, she always finds interesting repertoire that I wanted to learn (and that was appropriate for my level). She made me look forward to my lessons every week.

With a Bachelor of Music in Composition from the prestigious Moscow Conservatory, I bring a unique and comprehensive perspective to piano instruction. I've been teaching students of all ages since my graduation, helping them achieve their musical goals and find joy in their playing. My background as an excellent piano performer gives me a deep understanding of both classical and modern repertoire. This experience allows me to not only teach technique but also to impart a seasoned musician's insight into performance, stage presence, and musical interpretation. My teaching philosophy is centered on developing the whole musician. While I apply

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.

Rebecca has really put my daughter at ease - she is having fun learning piano and taking voice lessons. My daughter has been learning and making progress without feeling stress, which is what I hoped for when looking for an instructor. She enjoys working with Rebecca and reports that she is super nice! Rebecca is also great with communication and trying to find times to reschedule when needed (illness, being out of town). We highly recommend working with Rebecca!

Irina Kasatkina has been teaching piano to my 11-year old son for two years. He has developed both an ability to play and an enjoyment of music because of Irina's thoughtful guidance. Her love of music and teaching is quite evident, whether she's teaching how to play, how to read music, or other music fundamentals. I am impressed with her kind and clear manner that encourages my son to explore the music. She incorporates his interests into the lessons, including helping him write his own compositions at age 10! She has won my son's heart and imagination, and he has this to say about Irina: "She helps me change what I"m doing wrong, she picks out the right books and songs for me, and she does it all very nicely." Perhaps the best recommendation is that he enjoys coming back every week for his lesson, and wants to practice so that he can improve every week! I would be happy to talk to parents about Irina's abilities as a piano teacher. Paul R. Peterzell

Ryan is such an incredible teacher! He is thoughtful, intuitive, and worked with me in a way that made me feel comfortable and challenged. I was terrified to take lessons, and he put my mind at ease with a gentle, compassionate approach to music instruction. Ryan gave me the fundamental lessons, and then let me choose what I wanted to learn. This made me want to keep practicing and learning. I HIGHLY recommend Ryan for anyone, at any skill level.

I enjoyed the different pieces I worked with and how there was some variety in the music. I also felt that Polly was able to accommodate well when a certain technique was difficult for me to understand the first time; she's great at explaining concepts in different ways.
