Piano lessons with Julie: all ages and levels welcome. Graduate of the Mannes and Brooklyn Conservatories of Music.

Learn piano with passion and precision Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced student, I offer personalized piano lessons for children, teens, and adults, designed to inspire, challenge, and develop musical expression at every stage.

From Classical to Contemporary: From Bach to the Beatles, my adaptable teaching method combines tradition with creativity, allowing each student to explore a wide repertoire at their own pace.

Multilingual InstructionLessons are available in English, French, or Spanish.

Over 10 Years of Teaching Experience. I've been teaching privately since I was 19, working with students of all ages and skill levels with the same dedication and enthusiasm. My experience includes teaching music theory, chamber music, classical piano, and music theory in the United States and France!

Preparation for Performances and Competitions I prepare semi-professional students for recitals, auditions, and national and international competitions. Amateurs are equally welcome: my goal is to inspire a lifelong love of music in all my students.

A Comprehensive Musical Education My teaching fosters strong musical ear, phrasing, rhythm, and analytical skills. Students develop a secure repertoire and acquire an independent practice method. Every six months, I organize student recitals to encourage ensemble playing and four-hand piano sessions in a warm and collaborative environment.

Hi!

It's Álvaro from Spain. I'm a pianist and composer focused on jazz and improvisation. I studied at Manhattan School of Music and currently play and record with my bands around New York and Europe, having 4 albums released as a leader.
After years of teaching experience, I direct my classes to ear training, harmony, and developing your intuition as an improviser. We can also work on sightreading or more technical issues. I teach at my own rehearsal space in Manhattan or I can also go visit you.

I offer lessons in guitar/bass, piano/keyboard (classical/experimental/pop/jazz), composition/songwriting, production/recording (DAWs, mixing, editing etc). No matter what level we're on, as musicians and artists we're all part of a wonderful and strange ongoing human project, and I believe that it's my duty to share the knowledge and skills that I've accumulated throughout the course of my life and career.

Over the years, my work has branched out in many different stylistic directions but I am firmly rooted in avant-garde/classical music. I hold two degrees in composition: a Master of Music '11 from the Yale School of Music where I also taught undergraduate lessons in composition; and a BA in Music Composition from the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, Sweden ('09). I've written large scale works for orchestra, chamber pieces, solo music for a variety of instruments, works with multichannel electronics, and works for theater and dance. For those interested, my recorded work is easily accessible online on a variety of labels and my scores are available from Schott Music New York.

As a pianist, I began formal training at age 6 and worked through much of the classical repertoire before deciding to focus fulltime on composition. I am also an accomplished studio musician, improviser (jazz/free/experimental), and a member of several groups/ensembles.

A firm believer in the use of intuition as a primary tool in music making of all kinds, I would like our lessons to be shaped according to your needs and interests. No matter what level you are on, my goal will always be to offer you exactly what you need at each given step. I treat each student as a unique collaborative effort.

Apart from technical and aesthetic approaches, it is usually very difficult and takes a long time to find one's 'voice' as a performer, writer or producer; this is inevitable except in rare cases, and I will endeavour to teach you to trust in your own abilities, overcome insecurities and doubts, and connect your artistic practice with a more unified mindset that goes beyond imagined technical and stylistic limitations and aesthetic policing. The main point is to eradicate unnecessary obstacles to your creativity and learn to trust your intuition and choices.

For me, singing is a controlled emission of sounds from the human phonatory apparatus (voice) following a musical composition and it also occupies an important place within music since it allows text to be incorporated into the song (and it can also occur without text)

As a beginner, we envelope the simple factors that go into making a beautiful piece, and find ways to feel confident within our selves and our playing skills. Starting from scratch and building the foundation of your playing is crucial during this era of learning, and with constant practice, time, and patience, we can overcome any obstacle in music together.

Students in intermediate/advanced classes will have a heavier workload and more commitment to their lessons as well as tasks provided afterwards such as to-do lists and practice logs. These students are to be prepared 100% of the time with preparing their repertoire prior to the lesson, and maintaining their practice log accordingly.
