Jason Ladanye offers piano, guitar and harmonica
lessons to students of all ages. Specializing in
music theory, sight reading, songwriting, ear
training, and soloing concepts, Jason can teach
you any style of music - from blues, jazz, and
funk, to metal, rock, and classical.
Teaching music lessons professionally for 12
years, he understands that every student is
unique, and tailors his teaching to fit the
needs of each individual student. Often, other
teachers use a "one-size-fits-all" approach,
teaching all students out of the same manuals.
Jason does not teach out of “Beginner Book 1”
books - he teaches comprehension of
concepts. When the student understands why they
are practicing an exercise, they learn better.
Finding the right teacher is important - Jason
suggests taking a single lesson with him to
better understand his teaching methods and see
if they are right for you.
Jason instructs more than 35 students a week
from a beautiful, spacious studio in Albany’s
Pine Hills Neighborhood. Lessons are available
every week, or every other week, 30 or 45
minutes, to fit your busy schedule.

pricing.

"Jason has been my
son's piano, and now guitar, instructor for over
the past six years. Christian has truly
blossomed creatively and technically under
Jason's strong sense of accountability and
unwavering creative support.
Jason allows his
students to be themselves and work on pieces
that interest and inspire them. The sign of a
great teacher is one who allows their students
to be motivated, disciplined, and, at some
point, self correcting with their own work.
Christian's true
passion in life is his music and I attribute
that to Jason's guidance and support. Jason is
a special teacher and an inspiration to
Christian.”
-Rico Freese
“My daughter
really enjoys her lessons with Jason, and he
keeps her learning more every week. He
instills an ethic of practice and dedication
while maintaining a light touch and a
friendly supportive atmosphere. His own
impressive musical skills and knowledge
are evident, and his teaching style gets all
that across -- so Jason serves as a great
musical role model, patient but persistent
and always aimed at improvement.”
-Steve Krantz
"Our son Gabe started to play music when he was 4
and nothing really clicked until we
found Jason, and for the last 6 years,
Jason’s enthusiasm and passion for his
music have exactly matched Gabe’s! We
just can’t say enough about how Jason
has contributed to Gabe’s music
education in theory, improvisation,
creativity and the pursuit of technical
mastery of guitar and keyboard."
-Rachelle Smith-Stallman and Larry
Stallman

is a fabulous guitar teacher. He is
an extremely talented musician,
teacher and performer who has a

his students. Jason understands the
strengths of his students as well as
their musical preferences. Our son
has come a long way musically thanks
to Jason's teaching style."
-Michele and Patrick Rooney
“Jason
has not only greatly improved my
daughter's piano skills, but he has

for playing. Her progress has been
truly impressive”
