She immediately gave me a renewed passion for piano and music in general. She has tremendous experience which opened doors to me for pieces I didn't know about. Not only she was able to push my limits but in a few months I was very impressed by the fact that I was able to play. She also helped me work on my foundation and theory which needed to be strengthened because of my long break. It was such a pleasure to go to class every week. Since then, I have moved across the country, and I miss her so much!

But over the past decade, I've never been able to find a great local place to play... I've lived in Boston and San Francisco and had a lot of trouble in each finding studios that were comfortable, affordable, and easy. I stumbled upon Greenwich House Music Studios after I moved to the West Village last year and the place is everything one might imagine a practice studio could be. In addition to a reasonable price for NY ($10 per session), it's relatively uncrowded (I've never waited) and features great practice rooms, some with beautiful grand pianos in a charming West Village setting. I feel totally at peace when I'm here, and I couldn't feel luckier to have this place a few blocks away.

Nancy is a skillfull teacher. I love working with her. I find endless repetition difficult. Nancy…read morehas re-branded piano learning completely by eliminating unnecessary repetition for me. It works so well that her niche age group is actually the 3 year old toddlers. With Nancy I learned fast especially when compared with my previous teachers. My understanding of music is deeper and so I don't have to practice as much just to get something right. I can remember most of the material while learning in class. Most of the time, I can master two-thirds of the fluency during lesson and so when I practice my pieces at home, it feels more like I am "playing the piano" instead of practicing meaningless repetitive phrases. This way it is more inspiring. If I don't practice at all, I can still progress a great deal. Nancy has a no-practice curriculum. I spend about 15 to 45 minutes per week on my piano. She usually only requires 8 minutes of practice time. It's a very high-purposeful way of learning. No BS. No more aimless practicing which would take too much time to have only a little bit of progress. Overall it's worked out well for me! I highly recommend her.

She has progressed tremendously in her musicianship and technical skills, under the patient and encouraging tutelage of Joan Forsyth and several other accomplished musicians who coach her in piano ensemble and chamber music. The School's excellent faculty offers a comprehensive and complete music education that each family and student can tailor to their own needs and aspirations, i.e., minimum, maximum or something in between. What really distinguishes the School from instrumental programs offered by even the best private NYC schools is ample performance opportunities, some of which take place in iconic venues and feature professional production. A serious music student can also take music theory and composition classes, the advanced phases of which likely equate to undergraduate years 1-2 levels. There's also an expanding musical theater program that can help instrumental students round out their training such as stage presence. The School also offers free concerts by faculty, visiting musicians and students throughout the year. There are master classes, annual concerto competition and annual audition for the whole school's annual concert. Maybe because this is a community music school that strives to welcome anyone interested in a music education, the School is able to foster and maintain a family-like sense of community, and students form genuine friendships.

The classes are fun and challenging and Jason is able to give you individual attention in each class. He's already broken some of my bad habits such as poor wrist position and posture. I really look forward to every class and am really motivated to practice everyday because the songs are actually fun to learn. Not to mention, you start learning complete songs on day one. If you're thinking of learning classical or Spanish (flamenco) style guitar, this is the place to go.
