Katie C. says, "I had a piano lesson with Dr. Kreeger and we worked together brushing up on piano technique I had lost over the years. Dr. Kreeger was very fast at responding to my request in the Thumbtack app and we were able to set a date and time quickly and efficiently. Our lesson was via Zoom and he watched me play a couple of different pieces I was learning on my own. He was able to encompass all areas of playing piano that if practiced consistently, would help improve my technique over time. We discussed everything from proper posture and set up, body mechanics, and to how to best stylize phrasing of some of the music I was learning. I appreciated his approach to technique and how to practice; he was able to tailor the lesson to meet my specific needs and help me practice more effectively. I hope I can work with him again in the future and would highly recommend him if you are also looking to take piano lessons!"See more

Jie S. says, "Yurika provides bespoke piano lessons and can always spot the weakness of my skills while offering concrete assignments for improvement. I have been studying with her for two months. My wife and friends all appreciate the progress I made, in spite of my limited time of practicing (1 hour/day). She is absolutely a great teacher and friend. I recommended her without reservation."See more

Summiah Laviba says, "Helen is a highly experienced performer and teacher with a deep understanding of music and technique, but what stands out most is how she tailors everything to you. As an adult learner with six years of violin experience from high school, I was a little nervous about starting something new.However, from the first lesson, she took the time to understand how I learn, what kinds of pieces Im drawn to and how to understand music structurally. Because of my violin background, I carried tension into my wrist at the piano, but Helen noticed right away and helped me fix it so playing felt more natural.Helen is super patient and easy to talk to, but she also knows exactly when to push me out of my comfort zone. When a piece feels too hard, she breaks it down and helps me build the confidence to get through it. If youre looking for someone who knows her stuff, makes learning fun, and supports you every step of the way, no matter your age or experience, Helens the one."See more

Reviews for New York classical piano instructors on Thumbtack

From Tyrone S.

Piano by TK - Queens NY
Piano by TK - Queens NY
I can’t express enough how grateful I am for the lessons with Takeru. His deep expertise in classical and jazz music, as well as his profound understanding of harmony and piano techniques, is truly remarkable. Whenever I encounter difficulties with certain phrases or techniques, Takeru quickly identifies the issue and provides tailored exercises and unique learning strategies. Rather than simply telling me to “practice more,” he offers precise guidance on what to practice, how to practice, how often, and what mindset to adopt. His approach to music theory has not only enhanced my ability to analyze and understand music but has also improved my memorization skills—I can now play Bach’s fugue from memory! It has truly been life-changing. As a child, I was forced to learn classical piano and found it unappealing, feeling like mere finger exercises. However, Takeru has rekindled my love for playing music through his inspiring lessons. Studying with him has made me realize how interconnected all music genres are and has completely transformed my perspective on music. I’m excited to continue learning from him.

Rarely do I write reviews, but I felt strongly about this gem of a teacher that I found. Francis is knowledgeable, professional, and dedicated. As a piano teacher, he is patient, encouraging, and extremely caring. As a person, he is a character I admire—hard working, kind to those around him, and inspiring. His worldly and extensive training in music theory and in practice shows in his approach in teaching. I cannot convey in words how grateful I am to have found Francis. As an architect, I absolutely enjoy the challenge I get from learning to play the piano and using a different part of my brain, and I always look forward to our next lesson as my skills continue to improve with each lesson. This holiday, I will be playing several classic Christmas tunes that I've always hoped to learn to play. Thank you, Francis for everything! I look forward to continuing to learn from you and getting better!

I've been taking lessons with Illya for about a month now and it has been great. I am an advanced student, having taken classical for 8+ years in childhood, but have stopped for the past 10 years. We are working on Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No.2, a piece I wanted to always learn but never got around to. Illya does a great job with working on my tone and sound, guiding me through difficult passages and helping correct some of the bad technique/habits I picked up during my time of just playing for leisure. Illya is very friendly and personable and I would recommend him to any other pianists who want to properly get back to playing the piano again.
