Meet Yanky
Self-taught at 8. On stage at 13.
Yanky taught himself piano as a boy and played his first gig at thirteen. Today he has performed with some of the biggest names in Jewish music, and he brings that same love of playing into your home. He has spent seven years teaching children and adults how to really play, not just practice.

Kind words
In their words
Yanky has a way of making a child want to practice. Our son counts down the days to his next lesson.
He is patient, and he never rushes. My daughter is playing songs she actually picked herself.
I started as an adult with no background. Three months in, I can sit down and play.
Before the first lesson
A few common questions
How soon will my child play something?
In the very first lesson. Yanky's students don't spend months on exercises before touching a song — they play real music from day one and build from there.

Does Yanky teach adults as well as children?
Yes. Most of Yanky's students are children, and adults are welcome too. Lessons are built around each student.
Do lessons have to be long-term?
