    Mayuko is a brilliant musician and a patient, but challenging, teacher.
    My skills in both jazz and classical piano have been growing by leaps and bounds since I started studying with her and I look forward to it every week.

    I've been playing piano casually for a number of years, but was self-taught for most of that time.
    ... Instead of just pointing out my mistakes, she focuses on things I need to keep in mind while practicing. She never gets frustrated, and I always look forward to our weekly lessons.

    it took me quite awhile to find a teacher who was willing to take on a young 3.5Y old student but i'm so glad that we were able to find mayuko! ... it takes a unique combination of skill and talent to teach young children combined with more patience than is normally found in the average new yorker and mayuko has all of that in spades!

    I've been taking lessons from Piano Lessons NYC for about a year now, and it's been fantastic!

    I used to play as a child, and wanted to re-learn how to play as an adult, and Mayuko's been an incredibly supportive and helpful instructor in helping me achieve my goals.
