A Music Program Designed for Long-Term Success
For more than a decade, City Strings & Piano has helped thousands of students build confidence, develop new skills, and discover a lifelong love of music. While every student learns at their own pace, we've found that consistency is one of the biggest factors in long-term success.
When you're matched with a teacher, we'll help establish a regular weekly lesson time that works well for your family's schedule. Having the same lesson time each week makes it easier to build music into your routine, and students who practice consistently, even for shorter periods several days a week, often make the greatest progress.
Our relationship with your family doesn't end after your first lesson. We encourage open communication between families and teachers, whether you have questions about practicing, scheduling, or your child's progress. In addition, our office is available to provide support and help ensure your experience is a positive one from the first lesson onward.
We believe great music education is built on more than exceptional teachers. It's built on lasting relationships, consistent encouragement, and a learning experience that keeps students motivated year after year.
New York City offers an extraordinary environment for learning music, with world-class performers, conservatories, orchestras, and venues woven into everyday life. Students can grow up hearing everything from classical and jazz to Broadway and contemporary music, while school and community programs provide countless opportunities to put their own skills into practice. City Strings & Piano adds to that experience by hosting semi-annual New York City student recitals with professional piano accompaniment in a convenient Midtown location. Recitals give students a rewarding goal to work toward and a chance to share their progress with friends, family, and fellow students in a supportive setting. And for families balancing school, work, and activities across Manhattan and the surrounding boroughs, in-home lessons make consistent music study much easier by bringing an experienced teacher directly to the student’s own instrument and practice space.
Featured Students in New York City
We love to share news about our students and tips from them to inspire them and others. It's always good to know what other students who take lessons in their home are doing. Enjoy news and practice tips from our students below.
Congratulations to Ella in Manhattan for discovering a new schedule that led to a huge improvement to her practice! Ella just started playing the violin in the winter and has been doing a wonderful job in her lessons. Finding the time to practice can be hard, though, when you are adding a whole new activity to your schedule. After trying several different approaches and strategies, we discovered that practicing in the morning before school was the best time for Ella and her family. If you can work it into your morning routine, it can be ideal for establishing a regular practice habit. Not only does it ensure that practice doesn't get pushed aside by other things that come up during the day, but it also allows your child to approach the violin with a fresh mind and spirit! Give it a try--we think it can lead to great results! Once Ella started practicing in the mornings, she began to learn all of her songs so much more quickly and is almost done with Twinkle. Her violin lessons have been even better and she is learning so much more. Congratulations to Ella! Keep waking up to practice every morning!
