Piano lessons for all ages and backgrounds, specializing in jazz.

Hello, New Yorkers! I’m excited to teach you to play the piano. I’ve been teaching piano for 25 years and have taught students of all ages and many different backgrounds. Though I talk differently to children and adults, my principles of teaching are the same. I believe that anyone can learn to play the piano. It requires steady focus over a period of time — I don’t believe in shortcuts — and your reward for your diligent effort is the joy of playing your own music. My goal for you is to develo...

I had the privilege of learning from the incredibly talented jazz piano teacher, Tara, over the past year, and it has been such an amazing and transformative experience. From the very first lesson, it was evident that Tara was not only a remarkable and technically gifted musician but also a genuinely kind and compassionate teacher. She brought a practiced and real-world touch to my experience of jazz, reaching far beyond jazz textbooks and theory. Every week, Tara brought me through different chord progressions and improvisation techniques that had previously seemed impossible to grasp. She made even the most seemingly simple concepts a wonderful experience to learn, improvising whole songs off of simple motifs and chord progressions and challenging me to take a similar creative approach towards jazz. What truly sets Tara apart is her ability to tailor the lessons to each student's individual needs and goals. Her patience for understanding my musical background, goals, and learning style resulted in a deeply personalized curriculum that felt engaging week to week. I was always excited to go to jazz classes, knowing that each time I would have the chance to learn something new or make substantive improvements towards my existing skills. Tara's jazz expertise spans every decade and era, and she skillfully transitioned between more traditional jazz techniques and styles to sight-reading pop music with a jazz twist. Even during challenging lessons, Tara always fostered a nurturing and positive learning environment, and she provided a wealth of encouragement and support. After lessons, Tara often sent me invaluable resources, recordings of influential jazz artists, and other recommendations to supplement my learning every week. Learning from Tara has broadened my musical horizons and exposed me to a vibrant jazz community that inspired me to keep pushing the boundaries of my creativity. I would recommend Tara for any aspiring jazz pianist at any level!

After 60 years of playing classical piano, and many piano teachers later, I found Tara Buzash and discovered I could "play" with the piano. Tara is a really fine teacher (I taught high school for 30 years). She is organized, teaches sequentially, encourages new learning and "playing around" on the piano. My lessons are always fun and filled with new learning. What more could a piano student want??? She's terrific!

I am lucky to have found Tara. She possesses a formidable depth of piano knowledge and skill, and she is an excellent teacher. Tara knows how to both challenge and encourage me to play better (especially improvising), and to learn more about the art. She is ready and willing to adapt her lesson structure to pieces that I want to learn, or specific skills (speed, transposition, evening out the hands, ear training, comping) that I want to improve. I have yet to stump Tara with my many questions about jazz theory and piano technique. To a beginner like me, the improvisation and chord substitutions that permeate jazz can seem confusing and almost random. Tara knows how it all fits together and emphasizes the *meaning* behind what she teaches, while at the same time keeping the music intuitive and fun. Take piano lessons from Tara, you will not regret it.
