Leerone Hakami

Introduction: I place a large importance on spreading music education. I received my Bachelors Degree in violin performance from The Juilliard School, and am currently pursing a Masters Degree at Juilliard, so I know what it means to receive and provide lessons of the highest caliber. I also teach at Harmony Program as well as City Strings and Piano NYC. Both programs aim to spread music education to children throughout our NYC community. I have taught private students of ages ranging from 3-60+ of all levels. Even if my students do not end up pursuing music as a career, music education enhances critical thinking, focus, and creativity. In my lessons I focus on creating an awareness for mind/body connection. I have worked with Alexander Technique specialists and physical therapists to find the most natural and comfortable way to play the violin with the most efficient results. I also work on enhancing brain development through music for any age- it’s never too late to work on this. I work on improving memory, coordination, focus, amongst other qualities. I also perform for various gigs in NYC’s different healthcare facilities, weddings, corporate events and more. I can play as a soloist, with a pianist, or with a small ensemble of Juilliard trained musicians. For all lessons and gigs I provide a contract. I also provide discounts based on the number of monthly lessons.
