With 40 years of teaching in the community of Long Island's North Shore, I strive to offer the best personal music education in the area!
I've been happily teaching music to people for over 4 decades. It is my passion to bring this invaluable experience to any student who walks through my doors.
After studying piano and flute at Stony Brook University I began my teaching journey, spending years honing my approach and helping to turn each student into the best possible musician they can be.
I've worked with students young and old for all different reasons. Whether it's long-term lessons throughout childhood, preparing for a big audition, or simply playing for the joy of it, I've got you covered in-person or online.
If you're near Syosset, I'd love to welcome to into my home studio. In-person lessons can improve student focus and provide an opportunity to play on a well-maintained, in-tune piano.
If your location or schedule doesn't permit lessons in-person, I'm equipped with state of the art gear to provide you with the best online lesson experience possible.
I’ve known Ms. Lorraine since I was about 6 and have been taking classes from her for about 10 years. I’ve learnt so much from her and she’s taught me so many things about piano in the past years. She always takes time to practice scales and makes learning piano super fun. And even for NYSSMA she helped me achieve a perfect my first time. I would definitely recommend her to anyone of any age who wants to start learning piano!

My lessons with Ms. Lorraine have been fun and filled with joy. I have learned so much about both the piano and the flute, and have really enjoyed my time learning. Ms. Lorraine is extremely patient and brings out the fun in playing instruments.

Ms. Lorraine was my piano teacher for 10 years, and every week spent learning from her was incredible. Ms. Lorraine was patient and brought about my love and appreciation for classical music. She is great with students of all ages and all levels.

With a university education and 40+ years of experience in every scenario, I'm fully equipped and dedicated to learning about your personal musical goals and helping you to achieve them.
We generally hold our annual recital the second weekend of June and it's a great opportunity for students to perform and be inspired by what other students are doing. Our 2022 recital was extra-special after two years of Zoom recitals!
In addition to weekly payments, I also offer a discount for students who pre-pay. You can pre-pay for 10 lessons and receive the 11th lesson for free!
To keep things simple and predictable for everyone, I follow the school calendar in the student's school district. All weekdays or weekend days when school is in sssion are scheduled lesson days. Other days are sometimes (but not always) open for lessons.
I have helped students prepare for NYSSMA, All County, and College Auditions ever since I started teaching. My students have consistently received the highest NYSSMA marks available and gotten into music programs at their schools.
I teach both piano & flute lessons in 30-minute, 45-minute, or hour-long sessions. 45-minute lessons are recommeded for all but the youngest students. One hour is recommended for those students preparing for NYSSMA Level 3 & up, or those who simply have a desire to progress rapidly.
I love music, I love people, and I love to teach - it has been my joy in life to help others find their joy in music.
Book a trial lesson today - A trial lesson is a great way to test-drive the lesson experience and make sure there's a perfect fit between the student and the teacher.

My home studio is located in the heart of downtown Syosset near plenty of coffee shops, parks, and grocery stores, so you can relax or take care of your errands during your child's piano lessons.
