Private Music Lessons in White Plains, NY

Hello! Welcome to my Thumbtack page! I’m Lucas Cypriano - a Brazilian composer, classically trained pianist, and accordionist with over a decade of experience teaching students of all ages and levels and performing as a bandleader and collaborator. My teaching and performances covers Jazz, Classical, Brazilian music, Pop/R&B, as well as Music Theory and Composition/Songwriting. I’ve studied at respected institutions including the Berklee College of Music (Boston), the CIGAM Institute (Rio), and The City College of New York - From where I have my Bachelors in Jazz Studies. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of performing in historic jazz clubs and concert halls across the U.S. and Brazil — including Nublu (NYC), Bottle Bar (Rio), Minton's Playhouse (NYC), Teatro Itália (São Paulo), and Annapolis Symphony Hall (MD).

I believe in the extraordinary power of music to communicate, inspire, and often heal. That belief inspires all my work. It is an incredible joy to help others find and strengthen their own voices. Whether you want to learn the basics of music, prepare to audition for your school musical, college or conservatory, or you just want to have fun finding your voice so you can hit those high notes in the shower, I would love to help you. I'm a classically trained soprano with degrees from Brown University and the Manhattan School of Music. I've been teaching for 13 years. I've sung leading roles with the Caramoor Music Festival, Glimmerglass Opera and the Aspen Music Festival. I currently am a soloist with the Irvington Presbyterian Church and teach on the faculty of RiverArts.

We are a group of classical musicians committed to building a vibrant, inclusive community of music lovers. We empower emerging artists, present classical music in creative and engaging ways, and connect people through meaningful performance and education. We offer lessons, concerts, collaborations, and outreach. We like to bend boundaries and think big, always rooted in excellence, integrity, and kindness.

My name is Ona, and I’m a musical theater performer and voice teacher. I’d love to help you get started on your singing and/or acting career! I'm multilingual so we can do classes in English, Spanish, or Catalan! I usually teach in a studio in Midtown Manhattan but due to COVID-19 I’m offering online lessons only.
