If you are looking for a piano teacher for your child or yourself, look no further. I took weekly lessons from Steve for 3 years. I started with him as an adult intermediate student and made steady progress until life got in the way and I had to take a break. Steve worked with me to improve my technique, but more importantly, he understood that, as a adult student, I needed to be learning to play the kinds of music that gave me pleasure and would keep me practicing. Steve’s instructions for practice are always clear. You know exactly what to do to prepare for the next lesson. And Steve WILL know if you’ve been practicing! He prepares for lessons, too. In addition to my own lessons, I had the pleasure to hear Steve’s other students, from beginner to virtuoso, play at his twice a year recitals. When I say virtuoso I am not exaggerating. At least one of his students, who sadly for us has now graduated high school and moved on to college, and who started taking lessons from Steve as a child, is an beautiful pianist. If I tell you that he played Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue from start to finish without music, that may tell you what you need to know about this young man’s talents and Steve’s teaching abilities. The other students displayed the range of abilities that you would expect, but what they all seemed to share was an enjoyment in what they were learning. As I said at the start, if you are looking for a piano teacher to guide your child from beginner to who knows where, or for an adult of any age (did I mention I’m 71?), Steve Sternberg is #1 in my book.

I took piano lessons with Mr. Sternberg for several years and he was a great teacher! He has a warm, friendly teaching style and is always very encouraging. He challenged me to learn pieces in a variety of styles, including classical, jazz, blues, and contemporary. He also provided me with opportunities to perform in recitals with other students, as well as the chance to play for judges through Piano Guild. He always prepared me well and gave easy-to-follow instructions for practicing between lessons. I definitely recommend him as a teacher!
I took lessons with Steve for 11 years – most of my childhood – and he taught me one of my most cherished skills. He's a passionate, patient, and effective teacher who even inspired me to write my own music and perform at nursing homes as he does. He teaches everything from the classics to more contemporary music, which I really appreciated. I love playing for family, friends, random people, you name it, and I get complimented every time. This was (and still is) a big part of my life and I owe it all to him. Would definitely recommend!
I have been taking piano lessons with Steve Sternberg for almost 2 years now and it has been a great experience! Not only has my playing ability improved dramatically, I have also been able to learn so much about music theory. I started as a college student with no prior music experience and I am so happy with the progress I have made!
This is absolutely the best setting in which a person can be taught music. Here you will not only learn everything you need to know to perform many styles of music at a high level, but also develop a general love and understanding of music. It is because of Steve Sternberg’s lessons that I have chosen to pursue a career in music and will enjoy a lifetime of music making.
