About Us
WillYouLearn is a NYC-based music education company offering in-home and online music lessons for kids, teens, and adults. Founded in 2013, we've taught hundreds of families across the city — from first notes to conservatory auditions — always with warmth, humor, and serious musical depth.
Our teachers are real-deal musicians: performers, composers, jazz players, classical pianists — and above all, phenomenal educators who know how to connect. We’ve helped beginners fall in love with their first instrument, and we’ve helped advanced students prepare for NYSSMA, competitions, college auditions, and more.
Whether you’re in Brooklyn, Manhattan, or online — we’re here to help you make music your own.

What we offer
WillYouLearn offers high-quality, in-home and online music lessons for kids, teens, and adults across New York City. We specialize in piano, guitar, voice, bass, drums, violin, cello, ukulele, saxophone, clarinet, trumpet, songwriting, music production and more — all taught by professional musicians matched to each student’s needs and learning style.
Lessons are offered weekly by the semester to provide structure, momentum, and consistent progress. A la carte lessons are available as scheduling allows. From teacher to admin, we prioritize reliability, communication, and follow-through — so parents never have to chase down answers or worry who’s showing up.
In addition to private lessons, we offer in-school assemblies and after-school programs, from individual instruction to full ensembles. Whether you're looking for piano lessons in Brooklyn, guitar lessons on the Upper West Side, or a school-wide music event, WillYouLearn delivers.

Our Method
Remember how you learned your first language? It wasn’t through textbooks — you listened, imitated, and eventually spoke with ease. We believe music should be learned the same way.
At WillYouLearn, our music education approach places the ear at the center. Whether it's piano, guitar, drums, or voice, our students learn to listen, imitate, and make music their own before diving into sheet music and theory. We teach students to speak the language of music first — then read and write it — so playing their instrument becomes as natural as speaking.
This ear-first method helps students build confidence, creativity, and a true connection to their instrument. It's a proven approach that works for beginners and advanced players alike — and it’s what makes WillYouLearn one of the most trusted names in music lessons in NYC.

Our Students
From a three-year-old’s very first lesson to college audition prep for high school seniors — even octogenarians returning to the instruments of their youth — we’ve taught students of all ages and experience levels.
WillYouLearn offers private music lessons in NYC homes, schools, community centers, and online. We’ve led after-school music programs, assemblies, and in-school classes at institutions across the city, including Marymount, Avenues The World School, and The Hewitt School.
Whether it’s your child’s first piano lesson, a middle schooler joining a band, or a seasoned adult ready to reconnect with music, we meet students where they are — and help them grow from there.
