Private Piano Lessons
I’ve been teaching piano one-on-one since 2014. Now you can choose between in-person lessons at my home studio in Irondequoit, New York or online via Rock Out Loud Live.

Learning Piano Can Be Fun!
No more boring piano lessons with boring songs.
We go on a piano safari to start playing cool music right away. Students leave their first lesson able to play at least two songs from memory.
Although the focus of lessons is to play piano, I also use fun apps to practice music theory. My two favorites for in person lessons are Note Rush and Rhythm Swing. For online lessons I have plenty of fun activities for the students using Google Slides.
Why It Works…
Better Than Zoom
I use a software called Rock Out Loud Live for online lessons. There’s virtually no delay and the audio sounds much better.
Fun Music
We learn fun music together! The Piano Safari books teach everything a student needs to know and the music is fun to play.
Experienced Teacher
I’ve taught students of all ages (from 3-76!) and abilities since 2014. Lessons are tailored to the student’s interests and learning style.
I’m my students’ biggest cheerleader.
Sometimes I get so excited I jump up and down and clap and cheer for my students.
Ok, maybe every lesson I do this.
Cause we’re having fun and they’re learning so many new skills. Who wouldn’t get up and cheer about that?
Why Learn Piano?
Why not? But seriously, learning an instrument is good for a child’s development. Here are a few benefits:
- Improved hand-eye coordination
- Improved manual dexterity
- Improved memory
- Improved listening ability
- Improved focus
Do I need a piano?
Yes, please. A keyboard works ok too for beginners, but a working acoustic piano is preferable. Piano students need an instrument to play on at home.
What’s Your Cancellation Policy?
Students need to give 24 hours notice to cancel a lesson and not be charged for it.
Every student can schedule one (1) makeup lesson per month.
How Much Do You Charge?
Private lessons are $25 for 30 minutes.
Buddy lessons (2 students) are $20 for 45 minutes.
Students take lessons once a week every week.
