An excellent trial lesson. It’s my first piano lesson. I have some classes in music and midi, but I don't know how to play the piano very much. Meng helped me a lot.

Dr. Hon is an amazing piano teacher. I came to my first lesson with years of music experience in tow, but very limited piano proficiency. After the first lesson I was playing a full song and some rather amazing exercises. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, patient, fun piano teacher, Dr. Hon is the guy!

Noah is very knowledgable about piano and music in general. He's extremely easy to learn from, and he will cater lessons to accommodate where you want your piano playing to go!

We did a trial piano lesson with Meng and my daughter enjoyed it very much and was looking forward to taking another lesson with her. My experience so far has been excellent, as she responds quickly to inquiries and is very professional.

My 12 years old son has been given piano lessons from Noah for the last few weeks and he loves it! Noah is very friendly and is a very professional teacher. His lesson is fun, clear to understand and easy going so my son never feels any pressure. He is so excited to have more lessons with Noah in the future!

Marcelo is a talented musician and knows a lot about music. My first lesson was great and I am looking forward to working with him to improve my piano playing and learn more music theory!

Meng was very helpful, taking the time to begin with the necessary foundational teachings about piano before diving into practical exercises. As a beginner, these structured lessons are very beneficial, and I look forward to future sessions.

Meng is fantastic teacher! Piano lesson with her was great and pleasant. I found the initial interaction with her very promising. Everything is so organized. She isn’t just pianist. She is dedicated and hard working teacher. She is from NYU piano performance major and music education as well. Especially, she is really good at working with little kids, very patient and gives very positive energy to students and parents as well. My kids are very excited and look forward to next lesson. If I could give six stars, I would. I would also recommend her to any friend or acquaintance interested in learning the piano in NYC.

I have taken piano lessons from Robert for a few weeks now and my ability to read sheet music while I play, as well as understand music theory (big areas of weakness for me) have already improved significantly. He is a great instructor who understands what you need in order to become a better player, and he creates a fun and relaxed atmosphere that makes me look forward to my lesson each week. I would highly recommend Robert as a piano instructor!

I have been taking piano lessons with Robert for the past 5 weeks. It has been a great experience so far and I can see some improvement in my technique already. Robert is very flexible with the schedule and accommodates timings as per your requirements as well. Looking forward to further improving my piano skills with his guidance.

Dillon is an incredible piano teacher! He’s very patient yet encouraging and pushes me to really learn and enjoy learning. Each lesson is much more than just learning to read notes and hit keys. Dillon teaches me to fully appreciate the instrument and the process of making music. Anyone, adult or child, would be lucky to learn piano with him.

My 13 year old daughter, who is a bit of a snob when it comes to piano teachers, has been delighted to receive lessons by Yurika. She's always been courteous, on time and her rate is very reasonable.

I am looking forward to getting back to playing piano after a 4 year gap and I am pleased that I will be working with Sarah. She explains things clearly and makes the lessons interesting, challenging and fun.

Dillon has been teaching me piano for about 2 months now and I have to say he's a wonderful teacher. He's not only skilled at what he does but also easy and simple to be around. Dillon can teach many lessons which will be applicable through your whole piano journey. I highly recommend atleast trying out a few classes.

Dillon has been teaching Piano lessons to my 2 sons(aged 4 and 8) for two months. His interaction with the children is very good and they are happy to be taught by him. Dillon started with teaching the music theory to build a foundation for the future lessons. I can see that my older boy is improving his piano skills and it seems like Dillon's way of teaching is the right choice for him. He is practicing the lessons during the weekdays. On the otherside, they are still working on the letter assigments of the notes, and seems like they are not having a lot of progress. Maybe he is too young for this kind of teaching, I am not sure. But I believe he will do better when they pass a certain threshold with the basics.

Hannah is wonderful! I love our weekly piano lessons. Her level of knowledge, patience and professionalism are remarkable. She always knows how best to break down each piece of music and make it easy and fun. I love that she smiles so much. My lessons with her are the best part of my week and I’m so happy to have found such a great teacher!

All three of my kids really enjoyed their lessons with Alkistis, who worked around our schedules, suggested great books for their age and inspired them to practice. I was impressed how much they learned and how much they enjoyed learning piano with her!

Sherry has been tutoring my 5 year old boy for a couple of weeks and her level of theory and practical Piano lessons is truly incredible. She is energetic yet keeps him focused which can be hard with a talkative kid. I am so happy with the quality of her lessons. She is truly challenging him within limits and he is more passionate about his practice.

David is an excellent teacher who uses a wide range of techniques to improve your piano playing skills. I found that my ability to play more precisely and expressively have quickly improved due to his lessons on shaping and expression. Furthermore, I found the studio class that he put on for his students was useful for getting over performance jitters. I look forward to continuing lesson with him in the future.

Our 4 years old daughter started a single 30 minute piano lesson a week with David just little short of 2 months ago. After two weeks, she asked to increased to 45 minute lesson twice a week as she wanted more time with him as she found it fun and exciting. In such a short period of time from an absolute beginner, she can already play a variety of songs on her own and starting to read simple music notes. This could not have been achieved without David. David is not only friendly but extremely patient and creates such a wonderful environment that our daughter is excited to go to her next lesson with him and asks often when will she sees him next. In addition to playing the piano, both of our daughters (the 4 year old, and our 2 year old) take 30 minute percussion lessons right after the piano lessons. David encourages our whole family to participate as he explains the concepts and methods of different instruments, followed by an improvisational drumming session. He makes both of our daughters feel very comfortable at his place, they absolutely love him! David is extremely encouraging of learning and involvement in a very positive teaching style. Our girls are very lucky to have him!

Nadav is awesome! He is very enthusiastic, professional, patient, and understand what his students need. His lessons are filled with both practices and theories which not only help me to play the musics but also understand and enjoy them. I’m a beginner and have been self-teaching myself how to play the piano. But with Nadav’s help, I feel like learning a lot so I would highly recommend taking Nadav’s lessons.
