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 online lessons--from beginner to conservatory level--in piano, collaborative piano, music theory, and classical composition, including partimento and historical improvisation studies.

Learners from all over the world and of any level may join Studio DiPaolo via Zoom technology as long as they have an 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 StudioDiPaolo 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 online instruction coaching for fellow music teachers looking to transition from an in-person studio to a partly or fully online studio environment. Please inquire via the Contact form if that would interest you!

Please feel free to have a look around, click on "Menu" above (or the down arrow next to the header if you're on a mobile device) to see what Studio DiPaolo offers, and enjoy your visit!

"I've been getting composition lessons for a few months with Nicole and found the lessonss extremely valuable. Been playing music for a long time but this is a whole new avenue for me and Nicole has been extremely informative and supportive. Thanks Nicole."

"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
