Each student an individually designed program and a methodology suitable for a particular student is used.
Training is offered for both children and adults. Young children 2-4 years old are encouraged to start developing their musical abilities in small groups of 3-4 children. Children from 4-5 years old are invited to switch to individual music lessons or continue to study in a group. The age of adults is not limited. You can practice until the age of 80-90. It depends only on your mental and physical health. I’am happy to work with absolute beginners, intermediate or advanced musicians any ages. Everyone is welcome!

Online
Students from all over the world can join our school. In a cozy atmosphere and a place familiar to you at home, at a time convenient for you and your teacher, you can comprehend the laws of music and acquire the necessary music skills online using Skype or ZOOM platforms. Online piano or vocal lessons are a personalized learning experience. Each lesson is adapted to the students’ needs.
In Person
For those who want to sing or play piano professionally, the best option is to have music lessons in person. Learning music in person is the best way to focus on pfofessional goals such as – setting hands, fluent reading of notes, coordination of hearing and voice, developing finger fluency, developing an ear for music and sense of rhythm, a sense of artistic and aesthetic taste, growth and tackle challenging pieces or concepts.
Preparation for NYSSMA and ABRSM exams
Children attending public schools have the possibility to play at NYSSMA (New York State School Music Association) and at ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal School of Music). I will be happy to help preparing the requested pieces. This is an additional opportunity to perform which should not be missed.

About me
Hello! I’m Liubov Guseva!
I’m a professionally and classically trained pianist, voice coach, conductor and music theory teacher.
I hold Masters degree from The Gnesin Russian Academy of Music, Moscow, graduating with honors from graduate and postgraduate programs.
Over the 30 years of my professional music career, I had the opportunity to travel the world with my choir and chamber orchestra which I established in 1997 in Moscow City.
I had the honor to perform on stages in Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, Georgia, Latvia, Poland, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Hungary and many other parts of Europe.
I also performed in Russia as a solo pianist, choir and chamber orchestra conductor. Aside from teaching and performing I have recorded and released CDs with my own arrangements of the classical music of many known composers, christian music together with russian folk style music.
You are welcome to listen to my performances in the link below.
I love teaching piano, voice and theory to my students of all ages from children to adults. The annual recitals and holiday concerts are special events that I organize to welcome all of my students to participate from beginners to advanced performers.
Besides teaching I also serve at Presbyterian and Seventh-Day Adventist churches as a pianist, organist, vocalist and music director.
I invite all music lovers to join my school and together build a happy and creative environment for the children and adults of Manhattan and the New York community.
You are encouraged to check the videos and pictures below of my work and contact me for more information.
“I consider myself a very lucky person as I have the best job in the whole world!
Something I love to do the most, play my music and share joy and knowledge of music with my students”
Annual holiday concerts
The very important part of the Guseva’s music school is to see our students to BE HAPPY AND BE PROUD OF THEMSELVES!
All students have an excellent opportunity to participate in at least two concerts in the academic year: in winter - the Christmas concert and summer - the annual recital at the end of the school year. It is always a holiday for children and adults, parents and friends. The holiday concerts are a very important and exciting part of my music school. My students have an opportunity to share their talents in front of friends and family. It is beneficial for any student to participate, where they can display their knowledge and growth while gaining confidence, raising self esteem and simply enjoying themselves performing in public.
