Piano and Guitar Lessons

••••••*If you always felt that you couldn't learn to play piano or guitar, prepare for success! I'm Yehuda Kaplan, a professional composer and recording pianist & guitarist (Judy Collins, Lev Tahor, This Land, and Rabbi Berel Wein's Rashi & Rambam film scores. I recently composed the music for the ImmediCenter commercials running on WABC AM in New York.) ••••••*I've been teaching for 25 years and 99% of my students have learned to play well.
