Our NYC Music Teachers Are Inspired, Talented and Focused on helping students learn.

In normal times our music teachers come to your home and are some of New York City’s most talented, educated, and inspiring instructors.  During the time of the Covid-19 Pandemic, our teachers are available to provide outstanding music lessons through utilizing remote learning!  Now more than a month into the crisis we have received high praise from our student body and parent’s of students for adapting the challenge of providing high quality remote music lessons.  Neither we or or students will let this time pass without continuing to study music!  

• Our music teachers are graduates of the top schools such as Berklee College of Music, Manhattan School of Music, The Juilliard School, NYU Steinhardt Jazz program, and Columbia University music program.
• Each of our music teachers have several years of experience and believe learning music should happen in a relaxed and fun atmosphere.
• Upon request, we send an in-home music teacher to give instruction in a foreign language: Spanish, French, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Portuguese, Hebrew, German, Flemish, Russian and Dutch.
• Most of our instructors are multi-instrumentalists — they can teach several instruments to a family or a small group. Want to learn to sing and play the guitar? Our instructors can teach both.
• Our music instructors are experienced in teaching children of all ages (including special needs and/or musically gifted kids), and adults of different proficiency levels. In each case, they create a personalized lesson plan that meets individual needs.
• Our music instructors not only teach to play an instrument or give vocal lessons, but also awaken joy and creativity, which, in turn, will motivate their students to keep learning.
