Where frum girls learn to play, perform, and shine.
Small group classes designed for girls
in our community. Not to train for an orchestra.
To play, create, and feel confident doing it.
I’ve been playing piano my whole life. I wrote my first song at 15, produced two full albums independently as a young mother, and figured out music production myself from scratch – because when you love something that much, you find a way.
After 20 years of teaching using the Faber accredited method, I noticed that my students were not growing in the way music is intended. They were learning the methods and progressing in their skills, but they were quiet, shy, and closed off to the spirit of music.
Music is a gift you give to the world. Loud and open, it’s meant to be shared. So l built a program where that’s true from day one.
In my classes, girls learn with proper structure and a strong professional foundation – and now performing is part of the very first lesson. They learn together, they grow together, and twice a year they stand on a real stage at our recital and share what they have built.
I’ve watched the quietest, shyest girls start to talk more confidently, play more boldly, and to start believing in themselves. However nervous they may be coming to the recital, they know they have been taught to play with confidence and joy as their mothers watch with pride to see their daughters thrive.
That transformation is why I do this.
My philosophy is to teach without tears and pressure. Just proper training, a lot of encouragement, and the deep belief that every girl who walks through my door has a gift worth sharing.
I know she does.
My job is to make sure she knows it too.
Taught early, so your daughter can sit down at any piano and actually play something.
Your daughter will learn to read music using a professionally accredited method — a real, lasting foundation.
Your daughter will hear a song they love and find it on the keys. Most trained pianists never learn this.
When she’s ready, she’ll compose her own music. Her ideas, her melodies, her creation.
Every student performs at a recital. She’ll know what it feels like to stand on a stage and shine.
Girls ages 8 and up.
My home studio in Pomona, NY — a warm, dedicated space built for learning.

A $220 enrollment deposit secures your daughter’s spot
None. Most of the girls start from zero — and they’re playing real music within weeks.
Yes, practicing a little every day makes a huge difference. A basic keyboard is completely fine to start, and I’ll guide you on what to get.
Sessions are 1 hour long.
Before your first lesson, I’ll send you a list of books to purchase — it’s a short list. Students bring their books to every class.
Yes — a $220 deposit is required to secure your child’s spot upon enrollment.
MID-YEAR ENROLLMENT
Students are welcome to join Shira’s Music School at any point during the school year, subject to availability.
The process:
For complete beginners joining mid-year:
A complete beginner joining mid-year will need some foundational work before joining a group class. There are two paths:
The path will be determined at the Discovery Session based on availability and your daughter’s starting point.
It starts at the Discovery Session. I meet your daughter, talk about her goals and assess her level, skills and personality.
Once registration is complete and the deposit is received, I look at all my applications and group girls by age, personality, skill level and preferred time slots. Sometimes a group will be smaller if I feel certain girls will mesh better together.
If at any point during the year I notice your daughter is moving faster than her group or needs more support, I’ll reach out to you directly to discuss moving her to a better fit group. No girl gets left behind and no girl gets held back.
We offer two monthly payment options. Credit card on file at $220/month — your card is charged automatically each month. Or Zelle at $240/month — payment sent manually each month. Pay per lesson is also available at $70/lesson. Full details at [link to payment options page].
Automatic credit card payments help us keep things running smoothly and we pass that savings on to you. Manual payments require additional tracking and admin so they are priced slightly higher.
Tuition is non-refundable for missed lessons. Lessons missed without 24 hours notice are not eligible for any credit or accommodation.
For full studio policies visit our policies page.
Book a Discovery Session and I’ll take it from there. I’ll walk her through exactly what we do and get her excited about what she can learn. Spots are limited — reach out to get started.
