Piano Lessons with
Dan Rufolo
Dan Rufolo is an accomplished jazz and classical pianist with a Master's degree in piano performance from Manhattan School of Music. He has over 15 years of teaching experience and has coached students who have performed at Carnegie Hall. His expertise is working with advanced students, but his focus on fostering a love of music and holistic approach works with any skill level. Recently, Dan moved to Los Angeles where he is pursuing a career as a film composer.

“I've learned more in a few lessons with Dan than I have with any other teacher I've ever taken lessons from. He is able to break down complex topics and give you exercises that help you learn what you once thought was too hard. And he finds a way to make it all fun."
Alyssa
"Dan Rufolo is first and foremost an exceptional soul. He's gentle, inspired, hardworking, and oh so talented. He's truly a great teacher because he loves music and what he does. He also understands people - always working with the person that he is teaching, always open, not set in his ways, but has the confidence of his experience and the attitude that he's always learning too."
Robert
“Dan is one of the best pianists I've ever heard. His command over the instrument and music really comes through in our lessons. He always helps me learn what I want to play but also inspires me. Learning from him is a real joy. ”
