Welcome to Music Lessons That Build Confidence First
We help children play music before they’re asked
to read or perform—so learning feels natural,
calm, and fun.
A Personal Welcome
from Our Founder
I started Musicolor because I saw too many children lose confidence before they ever had a chance to succeed.
— Andrew Ingkavet, Founder & CEO
Parents Share Their Stories
"My daughter has been a student at Park Slope Music Lessons for years and it's been a fabulous experience. Piano has helped provide her with a different approach to thinking and learning and she truly enjoys it. The instructors are fantastic and do an amazing job connecting with each student and tailoring their approach to their individual needs. Thank you so much!"
"My daughter has never sought to play music professionally, so her continued commitment to her weekly lessons for 12+ years (even with her busy high school schedule), is a testament to how much she truly enjoys being part of the Park Slope Music Lessons family!"
"My son started piano lessons with Andrew & co. when he was 4 1/2. The Musicolor Method really made learning to read and play music possible for home at that age."
What an excellent music teacher Chris is. He has been teaching my daughter…for the past ten months or so, and I am regularly struck by how well he communicates to her (she is 7) and explains music concepts and ideas, and demonstrates and guides her. Chris does so in a way which she clearly finds engaging and motivating. He is also very patient, kind and gentle with her.

Music lessons for ADHD, ASD & other special needs.
Many neurodivergent children thrive when learning starts with experience and confidence instead
of pressure and correction.
Our specialized music lessons are designed to support learners with ADHD, Autism, and other special needs. In a safe and encouraging environment, we use music to improve focus, communication, and emotional expression while boosting confidence and creativity. Whether it’s learning an instrument, singing, or exploring sounds, each lesson is tailored to individual strengths and abilities—making music both fun and therapeutic.
