Here’s what people are saying about lessons with us.
“Sarah is a talented musician and patient teacher who is able to convey all aspects of piano learning, including (but not limited) to scales/arpeggios, chords, technique, theory, ear training, practice methods, and exposure to different styles of playing.
Lessons with her are fun, and her beatboxing accompaniment is second to none. 10 out of 10 people would piano again with Sarah. If you are learning piano without Sarah you may not be reaching your full potential.”

“Music teacher Sarah is a great motivator, patient, compassionate and professional. She taught my daughter to read and play music very easily with her awesome skills. I highly recommend Sarah, especially if you want your child to learn the proper way, while using fun skills to learn.”

I highly recommend her!!”
Claudia A.
“Learning to play the piano was my childhood dream but unfortunately never had the opportunity to take lessons until just a couple of years ago.
I’m thankful to have found Sarah as a piano teacher because as an adult taking on piano lessons requires a totally different and individualized approach.
Sarah understands that and while she is extremely patient, she does a good job of steering me back to the work that is required to become a better piano player.”

“Sarah has been great with the kids. She’s personable and starts each class conversing with the kids about their day. I feel like she really attempts to build a connection with them. She writes notes on what the kids should practice each week and keeps in communication with us. Thank you Sarah!”
Jerry H.
“Sarah has been teaching our 9-yo daughter piano for a couple of months now and we really like her teaching style and how she works with us to get our daughter to enjoy playing the piano.
Our daughter had gone through quite a number of piano teachers since she first started playing the piano at 4 yo; she always got bored and unmotivated with her piano practice until Sarah came along. Thank you for bringing out her new passion, Sarah.”
Tira S.
“Sarah is amazing, she’s so great with my little 8 year old girl and really helped her develop an interest in playing music. She’s patient and friendly and Stella looks forward to her lessons each week!”
Christina P.
“Sarah taught piano to our 2 kids for years starting at ages 4 and 6. She is unequivocally terrific: talented at performing, arranging, and composing; respectful and responsible; and wonderful at teaching children. She helped ours through lesson plans starting from the very basics, leading into chord theory and improvisation.
She thoughtfully helped them select and prepare pieces, including sometimes creating level-appropriate arrangements of the pieces they wanted to play from scratch. Her enthusiasm and expertise can't be overstated. We and our kids were very sorry to lose her to the West Coast!”
Adam S.
“Sarah is a wonderful and talented piano teacher! She is patient and calm and makes learning the piano fun for our 11-year old daughter. Sarah immediately won Sofia over with her friendly personality and gentle demeanor. In Sofia's own words, "In a short time, Sarah has taught me how to read music and I always look forward to my lessons with her". Hearing Sofia practice between lessons is proof that Sarah is inspiring her to love the piano.”
Elizabeth S.
“After a two-decade hiatus, I wanted to pick up piano again. I felt lucky to connect with Sarah. Her teaching is clear and easy to follow. I found myself start brushing off some dust and having fun with the piano the first time. From music theories to actual practice, Sarah provided various ways to help me understand the fundamentals and how to improve the piece I’m playing. I will definitely recommend Sarah.”
Shu O.
“Sarah is an amazing piano teacher, and has been a joy to learn from. She’s extremely patient, and has a knack for teaching theory and technique. She really helped with tempo, performance anxiety, and I’m a much better piano player thanks to her.”
Ben S.
“Sarah was a wonderful piano teacher for my 4 year old. She managed to get her to pay attention for her lessons. She is very friendly and tried to keep the lessons fun and engaging for my daughter. I’d highly recommend her.”
Priyanka S.
“Sarah was my son's piano teacher for 3 years in NYC and she helped him enormously! She's a super intelligent and talented teacher and amazing with keeping kids' interest and attention. She's very intuitive and knowledgeable and he always seemed to leave his lessons feeling confident and like he learned something new and important. He really got an excellent foundation from his work with Sarah and I think he will be building on it for years to come.”
Jacqueline W.
“Sarah is the best! My daughter studied piano with her for the past three years in Brooklyn, and in spite of the challenges of remote teaching during the pandemic when everyone was complete burned out on zoom, Sarah managed to do a great job teaching her the fundamentals of piano technique and music reading, while instilling in her a great sense of rhythm and musicianship while doing a bit of voice teaching on the side as my daughter developed an interest in singing and playing at the same time.”
Wesley C.
“Sarah is such a wonderful piano teacher! She taught piano for 3+ years to my 2 kids in NYC. She is so talented and warm, and that translated to the kids learning and enjoying their lessons with her. They progressed on piano playing and theory. She helped with voice when they wanted to sing while playing; and she helped support their creativity with starting improv and composing. We're lucky to have Sarah teach and support them on their musical journey.”
Janice T.
“Sarah is the consummate combination of: accomplished musician + engaging teacher + most excellent human being. This combination is difficult to come by, and is what makes Sarah so effective.
I know Sarah from how she patiently, empathetically, and thoughtfully guided my two kids (two years apart) through several years of lessons [in NYC]. Our kids absolutely LOVED and adored their time with Sarah. In particular, they enjoyed incrementally learning pieces they had fun with, while also being able to have a playful relationship with her. My kids also respected Sarah's authority - very much in part because Sarah was respectful of my kids as people and learners.
I enjoyed being able to witness the measured improvement in my children's technical and musical capabilities. I also particularly enjoyed being able to glimpse temporarily into Sarah's proficient musicality, when she would effortlessly play pieces for our kids as they learned new ones, or when she would introduce them to various genres of music through short, improved compositions.
Music is a gift. Sarah is a gift. I am grateful for the time we shared with Sarah, and will no doubt continue our relationship with both her and piano.”
