Parents and teachers have known for centuries that teen and adult students learn differently, and have different goals, than children do. However, very few studio music teachers both specialize in this growing student demographic and have extensive online teaching experience. Nicole E. DiPaolo, who has welcomed online students in private and university settings since 2015, is that rare teacher! This is why Studio DiPaolo has become a premier teen and adult specialist private studio offering convenient yet intensive online lessons--from beginner to conservatory level--in piano, collaborative piano, music theory, and classical composition, including partimento and historical improvisation studies. Please note that slots are currently limited.

Learners from all over the world and of any level may join Studio DiPaolo via Zoom, Google Meet or Forte technology as long as they have a suitable instrument at home (if applicable) and reliable Internet access. Ms. DiPaolo combines a friendly and supportive atmosphere with high musical standards and offers instruction in either English or Spanish. Current slots are limited, so please get in touch if you'd like to join the studio. Please note that beginners need to be age 10 or older to join Studio DiPaolo unless they are of exceptional academic accomplishment (at a fifth-grade level, roughly), have additional musical experience, and are known to enjoy the online format.

In addition, Ms. DiPaolo also offers graduate music theory entrance exam preparation for new master's and doctoral students, performance and composition competition adjudication services, and online instruction and studio marketing coaching for fellow music teachers and composers.

A few Testimonials

- J., Keyboard Proficiency Prep Student

"I have [two sons] that were looking forward to piano lessons. They are being taught by [colleague] and Nicole. Both ladies work with my boys uniquely, and are teaching them songs right away as well as proper technique. This keeps them interested but also advancing much quicker than I expected! The boys are having much more fun than they ever imagined!"
- T., Piano Parent

"I have been taking piano lessons with Nicole for about six months. Nicole customized my lesson plan, taking into consideration my skill level when I first approached her (adult beginner), where I wanted to go (recreational classical pianist for personal enjoyment), and what my work/life balance was (too much work, not enough life). Nicole teaches me the fundamentals and technique, but she also exposes me to classical music that I had never experienced before, complete with the history behind the composer and compositions. I have made tremendous progress under her tutelage, and I’m playing pieces I wouldn’t have imagined six months ago. I’m giving five stars and two thumbs up for Nicole!"
- J., Piano Student
