Suzanne S. says, "After a discussion about what my 7 year old granddaughter wanted to learn, Take Note chose a teacher for her that was a perfect match! She's charming, asute, musically accomplished and makes the lessons appealing and fun. My granddaughter loves her and is learning quickly and eager to do her weekly guitar homework. We highly recommend Take Note!"See more

Summiah L. says, "Taking piano lessons with Helen has completely reshaped the way I see learning music. From the very first class, she focused on building a strong foundation, fixing small issues with technique I didn’t even realize I had, which made everything so much easier as I progressed. She never let me settle for “good enough,” but she also made every step feel fun and rewarding. Her teaching style is warm, encouraging, and incredibly thoughtful, she knows exactly when to push and when to pause. Because of her, I’ve grown so much more confident in my playing, and I actually look forward to practicing. She’s truly made this experience something I’ll always be grateful for."See more

Leila W. says, "Sonya is a fantastic teacher and a fabulous artist. I decided to try out piano lessons as an adult in search of a creative hobby to balance out my desk job. Sonya is clearly an expert and her teaching style focuses on the student’s goals rather than only following a syllabus. She engaged with me immediately about my goals, what I wanted to learn, and what kind of music I enjoyed. She helped me rework a few of my favorite pieces to match my beginner skill level so I could play them. It is a pleasure to learn from her! And her puppy Polenta is the sweetest audience when she joins lessons :)"See more

Gage M. says, "I started lessons with Harrison in the beginning of 2024, there has not been one time that I have been disappointed with lessons or the time I’ve spent with him. He is very thorough with everything he teaches. The very first thing he taught me was how to play by ear and I think that was the best thing he could’ve taught me before starting my journey. It has helped in everything else I wanted to learn since then. He also has a very strong way of teaching chords/composition of music. He’s able to describe what he wants you to know in a way that is easy to understand. If you have a goal he will get you there, every time I think of something new I want to learn he figures out how to work it into your long term goals. I went to him with one very broad goal (I just wanted to be able to sit and play the piano wether it was in my room or in a mall with a hundred people watching me) and even in the short amount of time I’ve been practicing with him, I’m 100% more confident in my playing and I couldn’t be happier with the progress I’ve made with him teaching me. Harrison is a great teacher, I couldn’t have done anything in my piano playing without him"See more

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

Meng is fantastic teacher! Piano lesson with her was great and pleasant. I found the initial interaction with her very promising. Everything is so organized. She isn’t just pianist. She is dedicated and hard working teacher. She is from NYU piano performance major and music education as well. Especially, she is really good at working with little kids, very patient and gives very positive energy to students and parents as well. My kids are very excited and look forward to next lesson. If I could give six stars, I would. I would also recommend her to any friend or acquaintance interested in learning the piano in NYC.

All three of my kids really enjoyed their lessons with Alkistis, who worked around our schedules, suggested great books for their age and inspired them to practice. I was impressed how much they learned and how much they enjoyed learning piano with her!

Sherry has been tutoring my 5 year old boy for a couple of weeks and her level of theory and practical Piano lessons is truly incredible. She is energetic yet keeps him focused which can be hard with a talkative kid. I am so happy with the quality of her lessons. She is truly challenging him within limits and he is more passionate about his practice.

Noah Rott Music

We hired Noah to teach piano to our 8 year old son— and we have been SO impressed. (We were unimpressed with the first teacher we hired, who taught piano in a route fashion, depending solely on making kids memorize how to play short songs in a book, and who relied on a sticker reward system. Ugh.) We fired her and upgraded to Noah. Noah’s pedagogical approach is founded on the idea that a teacher should make it so that eventually the student no longer needs him. Meaning that he’s trying to impart a true understanding of musicality. And he makes every lesson engaging and fun. Words that come to mind are: playful, experimental, talented, warm, and curious. My son literally said, “Noah is enchanting!” He cares about the HOW and the WHY of the piano, and not just the what-can-you-play.
