Master Piano with Excellence
Transform your musical journey with personalized instruction, flexible scheduling, and a proven system designed for serious students.
About Your Teacher
With over 30 years of piano experience and having played in some of the world's biggest concert halls, I teach students of all ages and skill levels, bringing a unique mixture of classical technique and modern musicality to each student. My approach is rooted in building strong technical foundations while nurturing each student's individual musical voice.
I have studied at Juilliard, Peabody and NYU Music Schools and with some of the world's best pianists, such as Stanislav Khristenko, Assaff Weisman, Peter Dugan, and others. But my greatest joy comes from witnessing the moment when a student discovers their own musical potential.
"My teaching philosophy centers on three pillars: discipline, creativity, and joy. I believe that mastery comes from consistent practice, but the journey should always be filled with the excitement of musical discovery."

What Students Say
"I have experience as a self-guided piano student, and finally decided to search for the right teacher to help me improve. I'm happy to have found Lionel, because not only did he teach me skills that I never saw in any other tutorials online, but he was also able to correct my posture and other issues that I would not have otherwise figured out without an actual teacher. I am lucky that he's my teacher and guiding me on my piano journey, and I highly recommended him as a talented and patient teacher for all levels! (also-If you are a self guided learner like I was, don't wait- he can correct things that will stall your progress later!)"

"My son has been taking Lionel's piano lessons a little over one year now. My son's piano skills has been moved to the next level; such as playing solid rhythm, playing with dynamics and playing with clear finger articulation, etc. Lionel is the best piano teacher that my son never had before... Lionel made my son a bright star at his school performances. I highly recommend Lionel as your piano teacher with his affordable piano lesson prices. Lionel’s piano lessons will worth every dollar you pay."
