I’ve been Erika’s student now for several months. I love learning guitar from her. She is so knowledgeable and friendly. I look forward to my lesson every week. Highly recommend.
I've been taking saxophone lessons with Tal Kalman for only a few weeks now, but I can already confidently state that he is the best teacher I have ever had. As a young saxophonist trying to grow and find my voice, taking lessons with Tal has been nothing less than inspirational. He teaches in the East Village in Manhattan, and the environment is always creative, motivated, and very supportive. Tal’s approach is personal, clear, and incredibly effective. He’s not only an amazing saxophonist himself, but he also knows exactly how to break things down and help me level up every single week. I’m already hearing huge improvements in my tone, technique, and improvisation skills. On top of that, Tal is just a great guy to be around—laid-back, encouraging, and with really positive vibes. Every lesson feels like it's fun but packed with content. He really knows how to teach and connect, and that makes all the difference. I'm also considering signing my little brother up for clarinet lessons with Tal as well—he teaches clarinet too, and I know my brother would love him just as much as I do. If you're in Manhattan and looking for great saxophone or clarinet lessons, especially in the East Village, Tal Kalman is 100% the guy you want to learn from. Thank you, Tal, for being such a great teacher and mentor!
Tal is a wonderful and patient piano teacher and I would highly recommend to anyone! I took lessons as a kid and hated it and have forgotten so much. Now as an adult, I’m back and Tal has completely adapted to what my goals are and my knowledge and gotten me so excited to get back into learning! If you’re an adult looking to learn a new skill, I couldn’t recommend him enough. He strikes a great balance between music theory and piano technique and is an incredible musician who can break down complex concepts. It’s never too late to start learning!
