Ellen Johansen, owner and sole teacher, is an early childhood music and movement instructor. She is also a piano teacher and has taught piano for over 40 years. The Ellen Johansen Music Studio has been offering Musikgarten classes and group/private piano lessons for over 30 years.

The music studio in East Hampton is a carpeted, fully equipped music studio with five digital pianos and two Steinways. The classroom is adjusted for early childhood music classes so that it is toddler friendly.

My alumni have gone on to be major participants and stars of their School music programs, often taking solos and top positions in their orchestras, bands, chorus and Musicals. Many have continued their music in such prestigous colleges and Universities, such as Stamford, Yale, and Harvard. My most recent Senior attended Tanglewood's Composer's program the Summer of 2024.

"We tried that other music class in town and came back because we find your classes intellectually stimulating."

"Is Today Music Day?"
-a daily question from many of my enthusiastic toddlers!

We all enjoyed your program so much! What is truly amazing, is the fact that they all walked into the class and didn't know one thing about music. And look at them now. You did an amazing job!

"Lillette woke up and twirled around singing "the north wind doth blow and we shall have snow and what will the robin do then? He'll keep himself warm inside of the barn and he'll hide himself under his wing. Poor thing. " I almost died from the cuteness. Thanks for giving her this gift. "

From a mother of a piano student studying with Ellen Johansen:
Hi Ms Ellen,
I heard my son play the First Noel this morning. What a total change from a boring just reading notes play he did before your piano lesson with him. So beautiful with all the dynamics. My spirit just lifted and brought me memories.(we use to sing this in church when I was a little girl) Isn’t that amazing!? A simple music can changed your mood and can take you back in time. God is so good, for giving us the gift of music. Just want to let you know.
