Piano Lessons in White Plains

Hello, my name is Irina Knust. I’ve been a piano teacher for over 25 years.

I have joy in transforming my passion for piano and music in general to my students. My goal as a teacher is to make my students to be excited about piano, to make my lessons a fun experience for everyone, and be sure to meet every student’s needs.

I come from the Russian school of piano, and my approach with students is to make them fall in love with the piano and music, and lay down a solid foundational framework, so my students will be able to read and play any style of music on their own.

I teach any level and almost every age.

My approach is to build a solid foundation based on learning notation, piano playing skills and music theory, if needed. I expose my students to a variety of different musical styles and help them to find their favorite one.

My beginning students start playing with both hands from the very start. I believe the right and the left sides of our brain should work together regardless of what we do and it always works.
