About Chris Swan | My NYC Music Lessons
Hi there! My name is Chris. I teach music to people just like you and I help people achieve their musical dreams! I teach how to play piano by ear by teaching the system that professional musicians use to learn songs quickly. You can be one of those people who hears a song on the radio once and then can sit down and play it instantly. It is not a magic trick. It is a system that you can learn. I teach the classical repertoire as well if that is what you want to focus on. I also teach singing lessons where I help my students improve their technique, build their confidence, and ultimately, learn how to build a career in music. I think singing lessons should be fun, so I use the songs that you are already interested in to help you improve. In lessons, we work on vocal exercises to build strength and confidence, ear training to develop strong relative pitch, but we spend most of the time singing songs! The songs will show us what we need to work on, while we build your repertoire! Whether you want to sing for a hobby or learn how to build a career in music, I am here to help in any way I can! I offer lessons in a variety of subjects. Your lessons will focus on what you want to learn! Whether it’s playing piano by ear, classical piano, jazz piano and improvisation, singing, rapping, music theory, music history, songwriting, beat production, studio recording, live performance, booking gigs, building a fan base, marketing your music, or building a full-time career in the music business. Whatever gets you excited about music, that is what we will focus on! Now, no matter where you live in the world, you can learn how to play the music you love from a professional New York City musician! These lessons are fun, safe, convenient, and for students of ALL AGES and ALL SKILL LEVELS! I have been a professional musician for over 30 years traveling the world playing music. I have been a music instructor for over 15 years now and I love helping people achieve their musical dreams! I am a Steinway Educational Partner and a member of the Piano Teachers Congress of New York. This is a mentorship as well as lessons so no matter what level you are at, we will set clear goals and work on getting there together. These are either online lessons for anyone in the world or in-studio lessons for students in the New York area. In-studio lessons take place at my studio in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. I can’t wait to learn more about you and see how I can help! My studio hours are Monday-Thursday (8 am-10 pm), Saturdays (8 am-5 pm).
Reviews
Chris is awsome! He tailors our lesson to suite my own personal goals for honing my sing. Very responsive & he knows his stuff. I definitely recommend Chris to anyone looking for an teacher that is very versatile.
Chris Swan has connected so many dots in my head with music theory and how my favorite songs work. His music knowledge runs deep. He has great structure, stays organized, and knows how to make you better!
I didn’t get a chance to work with Chris for long and had to back out due to personal things going on in my life but for the short time I was with him for voice lessons, I had a really good time :) He was able to pick out points that needed work and help navigate me in a better direction. He is very knowledgeable in music theory. He was also very organized, encouraging, and a fun person to talk to! The weekly lesson plans were helpful that showed what to work on in between lessons. I highly recommend Chris!
Chris is very knowledgeable and communicative. He pinpoints your goals and maximises the time to address them.
Chris has the patience and teaching skills to take you to any level of music you want to reach.
I always have a great time in my lessons with Chris. He’s very detailed and patient when it comes to helping me with my vocal and song recording techniques. I’m definitely proud of the improvements that I’ve made while working with him and will continue to be a student!
Chris has been an invaluable resource and partner in my vocal journey! Super knowledgeable, engaged, and supportive
Chris is wonderful! Extremely knowledgeable and meets me where I am for every lesson! I have learned a lot in a short time and am inspired to sing and push myself outside of my comfort zone!! So happy Chris is my coach!
Chris is a great piano and music teacher. I appreciate how he teaches music theory in a very approachable way and shows how it can be applied to all genres of music. His classes are so much more than just reading and playing notes. If I learned this as a kid I may have never quit. Great teacher for the adult learner
