PIANO LESSONS
With Carlo Altomare
FOR KIDS AND BEGINNERS
"There are few things more rewarding for me than introducing kids to playing a musical instrument. Especially the piano, which opens the world of creative expression and music theory like no other instrument."
– Carlo
Mr. Altomare is a composer and pianist who has written scores for numerous theatre pieces and films. He was the composer for The Living Theatre from 1973 – 2010, and has written scores for many experimental theatre and independent films. He is known for his "open piano" techniques, and his unique style of accompanying actors closely onstage, employing techniques he developed from the relationship of musicians to actors in the kabuki theatre, free jazz, and the interplay of a wide variety of styles of music, from classical to jazz and world music.
​
His teaching technique employs a balance of traditional music theory and notation literacy with encouraging his students to discover their own style of piano improvisation.
