ONE LINE DESCRIPTION:
MAIN
LONG ISLAND PIANO LESSONS IS A COMPANY THAT PROVIDES BOTH PIANO LESSONS AND ENTERTAINMENT.
WE TRAVEL TO CLIENTS' HOMES IN BOTH NASSAU AND SUFFOLK COUNTIES. 
IN ADDITION, THE FIRST LESSON AND 1ST 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 OWN HOME.  WE FEEL THAT 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 THEY CAN INCREASE AS THE CHILD
PROGRESSES TO EITHER 45 OR HOUR LESSONS.  THEY CAN ALSO BE ARRANGED IN A TIME
PERIOD THAT DOES NOT CONFLICT WITH
THE BUSY SCHEDULE OF EITHER PARENTS OR CHILDREN.  THESE LESSONS ARE GIVEN AT
REASONABLE RATES.
