Why Greg Turner Piano Studio?
Train with a World-Class Pianist
By studying with me, you will learn the strategies for expressive and effortless playing, which I myself learned at Juilliard and Eastman while studying with legendary pianists and teachers, such as Julian Martin, Alan Chow, Nelita True, and Boris Slutsky. By applying these methods, I've won multiple international piano competitions, including the Kuleshov International Piano Competition.
I have spent years studying and applying these methods in my lessons, so each of my students gets an engaging and effective piano education rooted in the traditions of the greatest pianists.
Become a Well-Rounded Musician
Want to learn to play by ear? Compose? Perform at a high level? Whatever your goals are, I believe a strong understanding of all aspects of music will help you achieve them, so I offer a tailored yet well-rounded approach. I don't just cover technique or note learning in lessons — I also teach music theory, history, and ear training, as well as musical analysis and interpretation.
This comprehensive education allows you to master the art of music making and develop a lifelong appreciation of music.
Learn From a Trusted Educator
When it comes to choosing a piano teacher, finding someone you can trust is everything, especially for lessons in your own home. By choosing to work with me, you're putting your trust in a teacher who has been vetted by the best in the field.
I'm proud to have earned the trust of prestigious institutions, such as The Juilliard School and Steinway and Son's, as well as the top in-home music lesson companies in Manhattan: Music to Your Home and West Amadeus Music Studio. I am also a member of the Music Teachers National Association, and I have been listed on its music teacher directory.

Lessons take place at either the students home, OPERA America's National Opera Center, located at 330 7th Ave 7th Floor, New York, NY 10001, or my apartment in Newport, Jersey City. Students must be located in Manhattan for in-home lessons.
