Testimonials
“Alejandra is a truly excellent piano teacher... especially for kids. She is the perfect combination of firm and kind. Alex taught my son for the past 10-years during which time he grew rapidly to an advanced level. She provided him numerous opportunities to perform at her recitals and expertly guided him to a successful audition for LaGuardia High School of the Performing Arts. I can only say wonderful things about Alex.”

“Alejandra has been teaching my now 12 year-old son for 6 years. During this time he has learned a lot of very beautiful, yet challenging pieces and improved his technique. She’s incredibly patient and kind and always encourages and motivates her students, which makes it a much more rewarding, and overall positive, experience for them. Even when my son decided to take a short break from lessons due to being overwhelmed in school, he then gladly resumed because of how much he’s been enjoying working with Alejandra. I strongly recommend this wonderful teacher for anyone who would like to pursue their piano education.”

“My son started playing piano at the age of five and now he is 14 and has had several teachers during the course of his musical life. Alejandra is by far the best he has ever had! He went to a highly reputable school in Manhattan and another in Queens. The first school was too rigid and lessons were a chore and the other one was the opposite, not even requiring him to practice reading music.
I am so grateful that our search for the right teacher led us to Alejandra. She immediately saw his strengths and weaknesses and always assigns music that is within his reach. Alejandra has rebuilt his confidence as a musician. He is now reading notes instead of relying solely on memory. Most importantly, he looks forward to his lessons and feels inspired. Alex is so patient, supportive and caring. My son has learned more from her in three years then all of his previous musical experiences combined!”

”My daughter started with Ms. Alex for
piano class when she was three years old. Ms. Alex is always so nice and patient. My daughter loves her so much, and that makes the learning process such a pleasant journey. Now under Ms. Alex’s encouragement, my daughter is in Manhanttan School of Music, learning classical piano, and we still have lessons with Ms. Alex. She is always sweet with kids, and she encourages my daughter a lot, but most importantly she is also a very professional piano teacher and very disciplined. That makes her so wonderful for kids to learn and love music. I will highly recommend Ms. Alex for anyone.”

“Alejandra is a fantastic, knowledgeable, professional, patient, and wonderfully present and graceful teacher and person. My children have been learning piano from Alejandra for the past 8 years. She has inspired in them a love for their instrument and the art form. She has also cultivated their knowledge for the music such that they can read and replicate music with confidence. Through the years, Alejandra has also been a source of support and a friend to my children. She is incredibly patient with them, translates the material in a manner that they are able to absorb, and manages to push them with exactly the right amount of force so that they progress steadily without feeling forced. My children love playing the piano; this is truly a testament to Alejandra! I am so thankful to have her as an influence in their lives.”

“I started lessons with Ms. Diaz-Acosta as an older student. My confidence level for learning was low as I was not advancing with my previous teacher. In a short amount of time I felt more relaxed with her teaching method and looked forward to practicing and lessons. I highly recommend her.”

“I initially attempted to teach my daughters the piano on my own. I wish I had started working with Ms. Alejandra earlier. My kids really enjoy her and she seems to know exactly how to engage them. I love listening to my girls practice. She has been able to teach them important technique even at such an early stage of their learning.”

“Alejandra has been teaching my twin daughters for almost 5 years since they were only 4 years old. She is great with both little kids and older teens and works to put together a beautiful recital each year. She’s very patient, but still keeps my girls on track and can motivate them to bring their best to each lesson.”

“My 10 years old son loves his piano lesson. Alejandra is amazing. My son asked her to show him how to play “happy birthday” to surprise me on my birthday. She went above and beyond to make sure he learned how to do it. She spent the whole hour teaching him even though it was so last minute. She is very enthusiastic and cool. We like her a lot. Give her a try, you won’t be disappointed!”

“My 8yo and 6yo take lessons with Ms. Alejandra. She is patient with them and they are progressing nicely. Sher covers the basics, good finger technique, and rhythm. Plays short duets. They are even working on some DIsney songs now, which they love to play and sing along with. My eldest started in-person lessons pre-Covid and was able to keep it up virtually throughout the pandemic. It has been a seamless transition back to in-person.”
