I had a great first meeting with Max and really look forward to a continued partnership. I'm confident in his ability to help me achieve my goals in learning to play the piano! He's very personable and I can tell he will adapt his teaching methods to my learning style. I am excited to continue lessons with Max!

Max is an excellent music teacher. I am a classically trained pianist and have been working on jazz and jazz theory for the past four years. I have had previous jazz instructors, but now that I am working with Max I feel that I have a clear path forward and will be able to move past the hump that occurs somewhere around the intermediate level. Max is extremely motivating and helpful, and I highly recommend him for anyone interested in music lessons.

I've been taking lessons with Max for around a month now, he is very friendly and patient with me when I didn't have any piano experience.

It’s been couple of classes with Max and my son has been loving playing his Piano like never before. Max inspires through his demonstration, backed by an ability to simplify music with absolute attention to detail. He encourages a pursuit to perfection in a very nice and enjoyable way. Max is so easy to interact and is a great teacher to learn from. My son looks forward to his piano class session with Max.

Max is a wonderful teacher! My daughter has social anxiety and he really helps bring her out of her shell. She looks forward to her lessons every week! She’s learning at a rapid pace and I attribute a good portion of that to Max’s warm demeanor and patient nature. Highly recommend!

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  I typically charge $50 for a 45 minute online lesson with payment directly after the lesson. 😃🎹

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  First, I will have a phone conversation with a potential new student. This is a great way to break the ice and see how we get along with each other on a personal level. Second, we schedule a lesson so the student can get a feel for my teaching style and I can get a feel for how the student will learn best. After that, we keep it going and the sky is the limit! 😃🎹

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  Attended Dillard School of the Arts, New World School of the Arts, and The New School in NYC 😃🎹
