“Sean Nowell is a music instructor with great integrity, enthusiasm and vision. His passion for both music and teaching are apparent in every lesson. As non-musicians, we were most impressed with the time and care he took with our son explaining how to get the best out of his instrument including care and maintenance. Most importantly, Sean provided the necessary inspiration to help our son move beyond seeing himself as just playing in a school band to a confident musician who looks forward to pursuing a career in music.”Patty M., parent · shared by Sean
About SeanI've been teaching private music lessons for 30 years. My goal is to have my students learn more about who they are as an individual through a methodical and interactive study that involves the deep roots of foundational theory combined with improvisational interactions and applications to create a wholistic knowledge of 3 dimensional self expression.

“I went to my very first voice lesson ever (!) with Natalia and it was incredible! I’ve always been curious about training my voice, but was nervous to take the leap and book a session. I’m so happy I booked a session with Natalia because she provided such a safe and encouraging space for me to sing. By the end of the session there was noticeable improvement in my technique and I realized there was nothing to be nervous about! Voice is an instrument and with the proper guidance and encouragement I was able to improve after just one session. I highly recommend booking voice lessons with Natalia!!”Lillee, student · shared by NataliaAbout NataliaA compelling storyteller, soprano and actress Natalia Bychkova performs a versatile combination of operatic, art song, and musical theater repertoire.

“If you’re looking for a coach who is both easy to get along with and highly skilled, Chris is the one. He brings a contagious energy to the court, and it’s clear he clearly loves the game. I really appreciate how he adapts his teaching style, to my needs, using fun drills that keep me motivated while noticeably improving my game. It is a huge plus that he’s such a strong player himself; his demonstrations are always spot on!”Jeannine M., student
About ChrisI help Pickleball players in Briarcliff Manor, New York improve their technique, make smarter decisions, and play with more confidence. Whether you are new to Pickleball, building your fundamentals, or pursuing stronger competitive play, I create personalized lessons that make progress purposeful and enjoyable.
With six years of playing experience, I tailor each session to your goals, experience, and learning style. We can focus on strokes, form, mechanics, court awareness, strategy, tactics, decision-making, or the mental side of playing with patience and focus. I explain why changes work, demonstrate clearly, and use purposeful drills to help you improve efficiently. My goal is not simply to tell you what to do, but to help you understand your game and become a smarter, more complete player.
I teach in person at Chilmark Park in Briarcliff Manor, East Rumbrook Park and Travis Hill Park in White Plains, and Main Street Park Pickleball in Tuckahoe. I provide paddles, pickleballs, a portable net, cones, targets, and other training aids as needed. Bring your preferred paddle if you have one, plus a smile and a coachable attitude.
