I offer lessons at my home studio in Newton, MA, and at the Newton Music Academy. I teach students of all ages and levels – from children to adults, beginners to advanced students. The only requirement is that you are motivated to learn!
My teaching approach is based on developing a beautiful sound through a relaxed and free technique, from the very first note a student plays. I believe that every student is capable of musical expression, and focus on giving them the tools to reach this goal. Students will learn sound technique, basic music theory, and sight-reading. Lessons focus on the classical repertoire, but depending on the student, other styles may be covered.
Students and parents have said:
“Sivan is patient and kind, and he knows how to structure practices for fast progress. He’s worked well with me as an older learner, and I’ve seen him interact wonderfully with kids as well. His studio…is cool and very welcoming. He gets my highest praise!” – W.C., Newton MA
“We are very pleased with Sivan as a teacher. He has a nice manner, and a good rapport with our son. He combines many elements of music study, including music theory and proper piano technique, into interesting and engaging lessons.” B.W., Dedham MA
“Sivan gives me fun music to play. He makes me play my songs over and over until they are perfect.” Will, age 10, Wellesley MA.
