Mamesh Music has been providing quality Jewish music education for the Crown Heights community since 2012. We offer private lessons and ensemble classes for boys, using an unique curriculum based on Nigunim. 
​
​Here are some of the private instructors currently available at Mamesh Music:

​Mr. Gelman has more than 50 years teaching experience and also runs his own teaching studio in Metuchen, New Jersey.  Hershel especially enjoys teaching Nigunim to fellow Jewish students.

Zalman Negin - Piano/Keyboard

Zalman Negin has been teaching piano/keyboard for over 20 years, and also leads the bands at Mamesh Music. Zalman started Mamesh Music 10 years ago  to provide quality music education to children in Crown Heights using only Nigunim, and hundreds of children have already benefitted from it.

​Zalman learned classical piano for 9 years, before dedicating himself to Chabad Nigunim.​

Eden Har-Gil
Drums - Age 5+ (All levels)

​​Originally from Kibbutz Yakum, Israel, Eden Har-Gil is a New York-based drummer and composer. Eden fell in love with music in his early childhood while learning piano and drums. 

From 2015 to 2017, he studied at The Center for Jazz Studies at the Israeli Conservatory of Music in Tel Aviv.

​In 2018, Eden relocated to the U.S to complete his academic studies at William Paterson University and to further his musical career. 

Noach Wells 
(Out of Town)
​

Noach Moshe Wells grew up in south Florida, where he first felt the joy of singing Chabad niggunim as a camper at Camp Gan Israel in Boca Raton. It was during his years as a camper, at the age of seven, that he started to first play the piano. Inspired by wanting to play the melodies and chordal accompaniments to the songs he was singing, he’s been playing the piano ever since. 

​He feels extremely privileged to be able to share his love of niggunim and yiddishkite with the students at Mamesh Music. He encourages the students to become more imaginative listeners and to tune in to the hergesh of the music in order to express their own individual voices at the instrument.​
