Esther Homan first joined the New School for Music Study in 2017. A native of Washington State, she completed her undergraduate studies at Washington State University, where she studied piano performance and pedagogy with Drs. Jeff and Karen Savage. She then went on to complete a Masters of Music at Texas Christian University, under the guidance of Dr. Ann Gipson and Dr. Tamas Ungar.
While at TCU, Mrs. Homan taught class piano for the Pedagogy Lab Program, along with Extended Education and undergraduate classes. She also taught private lessons for college elective students, and was a private lesson instructor through the TCU Preparatory Department. In addition to her duties at TCU, Mrs. Homan maintained a busy schedule of private students for several studios in the Fort Worth area.
One of Mrs. Homan's favorite aspects about teaching is building relationships with her students and seeing their growth, not only as musicians, but as individuals. She also enjoys performing in both solo and collaborative settings, and she volunteers as a church musician. In her free time, she enjoys cooking, baking, reading, outdoor activities, hanging out with friends and family, and spoiling her nieces and nephews.
