Online Piano Lessons via Zoom
I have offered private online piano lessons for over 10 years and in 2020, due to Covid-19, my entire studio transitioned to online lessons which are still available for those who wish to study online.
I have taught piano lessons both in the private studio and at the collegiate level with every level of student – from beginner to most advanced. The private lesson allows for the most personalized experience which allows you to reach your goals at your own pace.
Online Piano Lessons are just as effective as in-person lessons if you have the right equipment.

Piano Lessons for Every Goal
Whether you want to learn how to play piano for fun or you want to study at a more advanced level, private piano lessons are the best way to achieve your playing and music-making goals.
For the beginning student, I like to start with a piano method, like the Faber Piano Adventures, because a method offers the most comprehensive approach marrying technique with theory with musicality. For the more advanced student, I will introduce stand-alone repertoire in a variety of styles from classical to Broadway to jazz. But it is also important to me that the student play what THEY want to play that serves their goals. So we will work together to make the learning process helpful and fun.
But our lessons together are just part of the process. The real learning happens in the week between the lessons. It is then that you must practice every day! Like playing any other musical instrument or singing, much of the technique requires coordination and reading music is like reading another language. Those skills are only strengthened in consistent practice. So make sure you commit to working on your piano every day so that coordination and musical language becomes part of your muscle memory!

Makeup lessons/Cancellation Policy
Should you need to cancel a lesson for any reason, I need 24 hours notice. You can text me (914-523-2718) or email me. If I don’t get the proper notice, no matter what the reason for the cancellation, no makeup lesson will be offered and there are no refunds. If I do get the proper notice, we will schedule a makeup lesson at our mutual convenience. I do not follow the school calendar so if school is out of session, don’t assume that you won’t have a lesson that day. You may want to reschedule for a school holiday and if so, let me know 24 hours in advance. Regardless of how many cancellations with the proper notice, only TWO makeups will be given per semester.
