Piano Lessons: Areas of Study

Note Reading

In order to play all the music you love, it’s essential that you learn how to read notation on the treble and bass staff.

Learning to read notation will open up an entire world of music. Once you get the hang of reading you will be able to play anything you desire from Mozart to Billy Joel.

No matter if you’re located in Brooklyn or Manhattan, our NYC piano teachers will guide you through the process of learning to read music until you become confident.
