LONG ISLAND
PIANO LESSONS IS A COMPANY which provides both piano lessons
and entertainment.
We travel
to clients' homes in both Eastern Nassau and Western Suffolk
counties. In addition, the 1st lesson and set of books are
free to all new students
LONG ISLAND PIANO LESSONS is fully geared to the Piano. We give
Piano Lessons right in the student's home.
We feel the best place to be
taught Piano is in the student's home because the student can
practice and learn on the same instrument.
These lessons are convenient for
parents and comfortable for students.
Most lessons run 30 minutes for
beginners, but the lesson time can increase as the student
progresses to either 45 minutes or up to 1 hour.
Scales are taught with each lesson.
The lessons
can also be arranged in a time period that does not conflict
with a busy schedule for either parents with children, children
or adults.
THESE
LESSONS ARE GIVEN AT REASONABLE RATES. See our Piano Lessons
page on Piano Levels of Class.

FOLLOWING POLICIES: For those wishing to take piano lessons
