Private Music Lessons… the joy of personalized lessons
Ages 4-Adult. We have found that private one-on-one instruction allows students to progress at their own pace and gain the best understanding of musical techniques. Students can start private lessons any time of the year or month so there’s no need to wait to get started. We offer private music lessons combining traditional methods with modern teaching techniques or Piano/Keyboard, Guitar, Bass, Drums, Voice, Saxophone, Clarinet, Flute, Violin, Viola, Cello, Banjo and Mandoine. A variety of musical styles are taught including Classical, Jazz, Pop, and Rock.

The program includes a personalized curriculum, practice schedules and monitoring, specialty-designed music appreciation course and field trips to arranged concerts.
NYSSMA Preparation… let our experience be your guide
Ages 5-17. As a NYSSMA member since 2005, our teachers are experts at preparing students for NYSSMA. We offer a crash course of private lessons and master classes to prepare students musically, technically and mentally. In addition, a NYSSMA judge will be invited to one of our master classes to educate students on what to expect in the audition room.
Finally, students will be given the opportunity for a mock audition for the ultimate preparation experience. By the time your child steps into the NYSSMA audition room, they will be able to say with confidence, “I am ready!”
iBand… an inspirational mixture of lessons & performing.
Ages 7–17. As the core of our collection of music lessons, iBand is your chance to develop musical skills and put them to use in a real-life ensemble! At the end of the semester, we’ll pick a venue in NYC or Long Island, where you and your band will put on the performance of a lifetime with your fellow students.
Don’t worry about finding band mates to fit your mold. Students are grouped by age, ability and musical style and all music is custom arranged to suit your skill level.
Each and every iBand is customized by considering age, skill level and style of interest. Rock, Jazz, pop, percussion ensemble, classical string quartet, piano trio and fusion… you name it, we have it! Join us for an exciting and original musical adventure: The Avengers!
