Introduction
I have been teaching for over 15 years. I teach privately full-time and run my own company in NYC. We offer internet lessons for students all over the world. If you are interested in in-person lessons, we offer this service in NYC and Westchester County. I personally hire other enthusiastic and experienced music teachers to work with me. I believe learning music should be fun. While it also takes hard work and dedication, a student must first enjoy music in order to continue and progress. My teachers and I incorporate well-known songs into lessons so that students can relate to what they are learning. We also use many of our own games and worksheets to keep students engaged at all times. We offer many different types of lessons including singing, piano, acting, guitar, songwriting, and much more. We also offer two (optional) recitals each year so that students can showcase what they have learned. I love watching students of all ages progress and accomplish things they never thought they could accomplish. This helps them to grow not only as a musician, but also as a person. I have watched all of our students become more confident as their lessons progress. It's exciting because music education is so much more than just teaching students notes on a page.

Michelle Maves, the owner of Take Note, is an amazing teacher. My children love their lessons and love music because of her passion for teaching and her enthusiasm for her students. She is able to customize her lessons for each individual child - she even tailors the music so the student stays engaged. My two children are very different and you can see the different ways Michelle can tailor the lesson. Having played piano myself, I recall my own days of piano lessons. I can tell that their experience with Michelle is distinctly great. They have fun and are enthusiastic about the lessons. They also look forward to recitals. I unreservedly recommend Michelle. Cheers!

Details: Younger than 6 years old • No, the student cannot read music • No formal training • What the teacher recommends • Yes, the student has a piano • 30 minutes • As soon as possible • The piano teacher travels to me

Michelle has been working with my daughter weekly since early August. We couldn't be happier! Since her first lesson, Michelle has made my 10 year old feel comfortable and confident. Our daughter has been inspired by her lessons and literally doesn't stop practicing singing and keyboard. We have already recommended Michelle to other parents in our community.
