Introduction: I specialize in helping serious beginners of all ages learn to play quickly and effectively via reading music. Using my techniques you can achieve more in 3 months than most do in 1 year.
All Lessons are built around inspiring joy, creativity, and exploration! You will leave each lesson equipped with lasting tools feeling confident to tackle your music with musicality and expression.
My goal is to empower students to take flight as a musician and enjoy a lifetime of music with the ability to simply sit down and play anywhere!
Music is the ultimate medium of âlearning how to learn.â Students using my methods find that our lessons are transferable to building skills in their studies, sports, and work. I notice a massive improvement in my studentâs self-confidence after just a few weeks of building this growth mindset together.
My studio offers 3 different tracks of study to serious long-term beginners:
1) 1-on-1 Online Private Instruction
2) Hybrid Prerecorded and 1-on-1 Online Private Instruction
3) Private Lessons with Anneke (online or in-person in Manhattan)
These tracks are specifically designed to best fit your individual needs, but the one constant between them is a patient expert eager to jumpstart your learning!
