Hi, I’m Rebecca Bogart
I’ve been teaching piano for nearly 50 years, helping thousands of students feel happier and more confident about their playing. From students performing on NPR’s From the Top to winning major amateur competitions—and even my own Carnegie Hall performance—music has been my life’s passion and purpose.
But it hasn’t always been easy. I
In my early twenties, I turned away from a promising business career to pursue music.
I poured everything into becoming a better pianist.
And then one day after a concert I woke up with searing pain in both forearms.
I couldn’t touch the piano without pain for six months.
I decided to rebuild my technique from scratch so I could play better and without pain.
This was only the first roadblock.
Cancer, three episodes of chronic pain.
And one day, on a whim, I submitted a recording to a competition and won a chance to perform at Carnegie Hall—a testament to the transformative power of smart practice.
Why am I telling you all this?
Because I know what it’s like to want something so deeply and not know how to achieve it. My struggles taught me how to overcome challenges and guide others toward their own breakthroughs. I’m here to help you connect with what matters most to both of us: the music.
I’m not your private teacher…
But I can be your Pocket Piano Pro
I’m here to support you and your teacher by showing you HOW to implement your teacher’s guidance.
When you’re establishing smart practice habits on the days in between your lessons it will make your lessons more fun for both you and your teacher.
Is this you?
You feel like there's something missing
between the music in your head and what your fingers can play.
You don’t like practicing
because it’s boring, lonely, and doesn’t seem to change your playing much anyway.
You mess up when you try to play for someone else
You’re putting in the hours on the bench
but you don’t feel like you’re sounding better.
Your practice feels like an endless loop
of the same easy pieces over and over.
You’re bogged down with the same problems for months
with no idea how to change things.
You would never dream of recording your playing
because you know you couldn’t stand to listen to it.
It’s hard to listen to others who can play beautifully
Don’t stay stuck.

What Kind of Questions Can I Ask?
Fingering
Take a picture with your phone (you don’t need to scan) and send it to me. I’ll send you back my fingerings + a video explaining why I chose them.
Pedaling
You know it doesn’t sound quite right. but you’re not sure what to change. Send me a video of you playing the section and tell me what you don’t like about it. I’ll send you back a video explaining the pedaling I recommend to get the sound you want.
That One Confusing Section
Yes, this is a thing! Send me a picture of the passage and/or a video where the Bermuda Triangle effect kicks in. I’ll give you new ways to think about the passage that will create clarity.
Takes Forever to Learn
You can’t seem to certain sections even though you’ve worked on them a lot. (This is also a thing!) Show me where in the score the prolem is and tell me what you’ve done so far. I’ll get you moving in fast forward mode with the appropriate practice suggestions.
I Don't Even Know What to Ask
Send me a video of you playing and I’ll make suggestions on what to work on and how to work on it.
Mistakes That Don't Go Away
Tell me where the problem is and how you’ve tried to fix it. I’ll send back a video with my recommendations on what to change and how to practice it.
Something Feels Tense, Awkward or Uncomfortable
Most of the piece feels good, but there’s that one part that feels much harder. Send me a short video and I’ll tell you what to do make it feel easy and comfortable.
Too Many Pauses
You can’t get the piece to flow. Send me a video – I’ll diagnose the problem and give you the solution and an implementation plan.
Can't Go Fast
Send me a video of you playing the offending section. It’s also helpful if I know your fingering. I’ll double check that your movement is smooth and efficient. I’ll also tell you specific practice techniques to speed things up.
Rhythm
Record a 1 minute video of your section. I’ll send you a video of how it should sound + a play-along version where I repeat it several times while counting.
Testimonials from my students
While Pocket Piano Pro is a new program, here is what my past students say about me.
Frequently asked questions
Q: If you’re so great, why is this so cheap? What’s the catch?
A: There’s no catch here! I’m offering this at a super affordable price because I want to connect with new people online and provide an incredible experience. My goal is to make expert coaching accessible, create a strong and supportive community, and build trust for future programs.
Q: I’m worried your advice won’t really be helpful. I want to be sure I’m not wasting my time.
A: I’ve helped thousands of students overcome challenges and play beautifully over the years. You can watch a playlist of my student’s performances here to see their progress and judge for yourself. I also offer a free lesson upfront to make sure we tailor the support to your unique needs.
Q: How is this different from other piano lessons & teachers?
A: You’ll get faster answers than most teachers can provide—unless you have daily lessons. My approach combines decades of post-graduate study, teaching experience, performance psychology, neuroscience, artistic insight, and body mechanics. Most importantly, I’ll help you rediscover the joy in your music with support, not pressure or guilt.
Q: What if I want to cancel?
A: No problem, you can cancel any time. I’ll send you an email reminder each week before Pocket Piano Pro renews to make it easy for you to cancel if you want to.
Q: How much time will I need to commit each week?
A: There’s no time requirement. If you can practice even 15-20 minutes 4-5 days per week you should make significant progress if you follow my guidance.
Q: What if I don’t know what to ask?
A: Just send me a recording, and I’ll give you practice suggestions. Try them out for a day and send me a progress report. I’ll send you a video with what to do next.
Q: Sounds good, but I already have a private teacher…
A: I’m here to support both you and your teacher. I’ll be giving you the tools to implement your teacher’s guidance more effectively. When you speed up your progress from lesson to lesson, your teacher will be thrilled!
Q: What if I can’t practice every day?
A: No problem. I always assume that you are doing the best that you can balancing the demands of adulting with your music dreams. I don’t believe in berating you to ‘try harder’. Plus, switching up your practicing techniques will help you make MUCH faster progress even if you can only practice a few days a week.
Q: Why should I join now? What if I wait?
A: I’m offering Pocket Piano Pro at the founding members’ rate of $9.99. There are only 10 spots available. Once the spots are filled you will have to go on a waiting list. I will probably raise the price over time.
Q: Why do I need to use Voxer for this program?
I use Voxer because it helps me keep your questions and responses separate from personal messages. This ensures I can give you my full attention without distractions. Plus, Voxer is very simple to use—just like WhatsApp or texting. If you’re new to it, I’m happy to guide you one-on-one to get started quickly.
Q: What the heck is Voxer? I’ve never heard of it.
A: It’s a free messaging app like What’s App. It works well on most devices regardless of your internet speed. I’ve created video tutorials on how to use Voxer and we can even hop on a Zoom call if you need help getting going with the app.
Q: Is this suitable for beginners?
A: No. It’s intended for intermediate and advanced classical pianists.
Q: How quickly should I expect progress?
A: Everyone’s aptitude, learning pace, and schedule are different. So progress varies. And, by applying smart focused practice techniques, you should see improvements in a few weeks.
Q: Is there a money-back guarantee or refunds?
A: No, because this service is so inexpensive, I’m not offering refunds. If you try it for a week and don’t like it, your total investment is less than a fancy coffee drink.
Q: I don’t play classical, will this work for me?
A: No. I focus exclusively on classical piano.
Q: What kind of support can I expect?
A: You’ll get an answer to each question you submit within 48 hours, usually less.
Q: How does the feedback process work?
A: Record a quick video on your phone using your regular camera. Send it to me using the free Voxer app. Then I’ll send you a personal video answer tailored to your exact needs within 48 hours—usually sooner.
