Piano Lessons

​

Ron Levy offers piano lessons to students of all ages and levels who want to enjoy the experience of creating music.

Private lessons are available in piano, theory, and composition. Students usually focus on either classical or jazz and commercial styles. Some do both!

 

Intermediate students delve into form, harmony, interpretation and music theory. Correct technique is emphasized throughout the course of study.

 

Advanced students work on more challenging music, as well as advanced concepts such as structural, harmonic and motivic analysis, dramatic content, and improvisation. 

​

Ron Levy 's unique teaching approach is tailored to each student's strengths.

It begins with an analysis of his or her skill level and includes:

 

• Accurate assessment and correction for effortless learning and technique

• Individual lessons in a fun and creative environment

• Training in the secrets of "coordinate" playing

About Ron Levy:

 

Ron began piano training at an early age, and has been fortunate to have studied with many wonderful teachers. A turning point was when he began studying privately with Nina Scolnik, professor of piano at University of California, Irvine. Nina thoroughly revamped Ron’s piano technical foundation – and in the process, gave him the tools to do the same for his students. . Nina's use of Taubman principles - supplemented through Ron’s participation in workshops in Mountain View, California and Amherst, Massachussetts - proved revolutionary for Ron’s teaching approach, enabling him to assess and fix students’ technical issues quickly and effectively. It really makes piano playing a pleasure!
