“What has keys but can’t listen to the beauty it unlocks? A piano.” – Jarod Kintz

GET THE TRAINING YOU'VE ALWAYS DREAMED OF 

With Studio D'Ottavio, you will understand what it takes to express yourself through the piano, while maintaining optimum playing health. The methods focussed on in this studio are inspired by Lauren's training from Teachers College, Columbia University, and what years of experience performing and teaching in New York City and abroad have given her. 

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN 

Studio D'Ottavio's approach is all about student - centered, where you can expect your specific piano needs to be met. During your lessons with Studio D'Ottavio you will attain knowledge of: 

  • How to Read Music

  • Balancing Right and Left Hand

  • Rhythm and theory

  • Effective practice strategies

  • Music customized to your interests: from classical, to jazz, pop, rock and more.

Studio D'Ottavio prides herself on her ability to teach all levels and styles, where you can expect to be learning music that you enjoy, while being taught a strong foundation in piano technique that can be applied to all genres. Lauren is classically trained, and specialized in this type of repertoire in her own training as a performer.
