Who We Teach
Achieve excellence in music with our structured grade programs, offering clear milestones and professional guidance at every level.
Starting piano should be fun, inspiring, and rewarding. Our beginner lessons focus on building a strong foundation in technique, note reading, rhythm, and musical expression. We use creative methods and carefully chosen pieces to make sure every student feels successful from the very first lesson.
As students progress, lessons grow with them. Intermediate pianists explore a wider range of repertoire, develop independence, and begin to understand the "why" behind the music. We introduce music theory, improvisation, and performance skills in a supportive and challenging environment.
For dedicated pianists who want to reach their full potential, we offer advanced coaching in technique, interpretation, and artistry. We help students refine their tone, tackle complex pieces, and prepare for recitals, competitions, or college auditions. Advanced lessons are highly individualized and rooted in both discipline and creativity.
Our professional-level lessons are designed for pianists pursuing careers in performance, teaching, or composition. These sessions offer intensive, mentorship-style coaching focused on musical refinement, advanced repertoire, and personal artistry. We work collaboratively on interpretation, stage presence, and long-term goals, whether it's concert preparation, recording projects, or competition circuits.
What we teach
The Tools Necessary for Optimal Learning
Music Theory
We help students understand the structure of music through engaging theory lessons. We connect theory directly to their playing so it becomes a natural part of learning.
Sight Reading
We teach students to play music at first sight with confidence and accuracy. We build this skill through regular practice that sharpens reading fluency and musical understanding.
Musicianship
We focus on developing expressive, thoughtful musicians who go beyond just playing notes. We nurture listening, creativity, and interpretation to shape complete musical artists.
Competitions
We prepare students to participate in competitions that motivate and inspire growth. We guide them every step of the way to feel prepared and confident when performing.

What Our Students Say
"My son, Jake, had the wonderful opportunity of taking piano lessons from Quin. Not only is Quin masterful on the piano, his interactions with Jake quickly promoted a comfortable first learning experience with the piano. Quin was easily able to adjust his lessons to Jake's needs and progress throughout the summer months, and in-turn, Jake had a very positive experience taking lessons. Quin was a fun, responsive piano instructor who used Jake's interests to make decisions about song choices. I believe that Jake continues to be interested in piano due to his time with Quin."
"When our piano teacher was moving to the west coast (we live in NYC), we needed to find a new teacher to our kids, 7 and 10 years old and we we’re recommended Quinton. Already at the first lesson, it was clear we’ve found a great teacher! Quinton connected great with our boys creating the perfect atmosphere with a mix of playful fun and more challenging tasks! We’re grateful having Quinton introducing our kids to the piano, and give our sincere recommendations."
