Piano Lessons NYC's mission is to offer the best private piano lessons for adults and kids from beginner to advanced in New York City. We offer personalized one-on-one piano classes either in the student's home or at studios conveniently located in Chelsea and Midtown Manhattan. Piano Lessons NYC helps guide and foster students in a range of different musical styles including: classical, pop, jazz and musical theatre. We also prepare students for university and conservatory entrance auditions, music school exams, ABRSM exams, NYSSMA exams, recitals, and competitions.  Piano Lessons NYC offers 60, 45 and 30 minute piano lessons. All potential students receive a discounted trial lesson to evaluate their current musical level, and to discuss goals and future piano aspirations. Our piano teachers use a mixture of British, Japanese and Russian teaching styles based on the individual needs of each student in order to better unlock their potential and achieve success in both piano theory and performance. By combining these three styles it provides a more diverse understanding of technique, musical expression, range of dynamics and interpretation.  Piano Lessons NYC holds annual piano recitals where our students can showcase their achievements and get accustomed to performing in front of an audience.  All our piano instructors are Masters level graduates and specialize in one instrument only - the piano.
