About

I am a female piano teacher working out of Monsey and Manhattan. I have also been enjoying the challenge of teaching remotely over the last few weeks, and have been pleasantly surprised with how seamless the lessons are. I am classically trained, and have been teaching for six years. I teach reading, theory, technique, ear training, and chord theory. My goal is to help guide my students to become independent musicians. We will work on lots of music and have fun along the way, but you will come out with strong reading skills and the technique that will allow you to enjoy all of your favorite pieces.

Rachel Shafier is a fabulous piano teacher; her professionalism is combined with a warm and joyful approach to learning. She is intuitive about my son’s learning needs and encourages him to do his best. She is resourceful and creative and communicates her love for music through engaging lessons and a caring and respectful attitude towards her students. My son enjoys going to his piano lessons and takes great pride in his accomplishments.

Rachel Shafier's reply

Hi Simona, Once again, I am sorry that you were unhappy. You asked if we can speak on the phone, and then were disappointed when I did not show up at your house, even though you had only asked to speak on the phone. I am terribly sorry if there was a miscommunication, and feel free to reach out if there is any way I can help. All the best, Rachel

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing depends on the lesson length. My rates are $45 for a 30 min lesson, $60 for a 45 minute lesson, and $75 for a 60 minute lesson. Most of my students go for the 45 minute option, but it's all about what works for you.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I am excited to offer a free trial lessons so that my students can get a feel for my style before committing.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been studying piano for 12 years, completed a certification in Early Childhood Music Education from the Diller-Quaile School of Music, and have BA from Yeshiva University, where I am majored in Music and minored in Psychology.
