"I have participated in The New School's summer intensives, private lessons, and piano pedagogy course. As an experienced piano teacher, I find the reading assignments and projects to be relevant and thought provoking. The class is a comfortable and friendly learning environment. The private piano lessons are outstanding, continually encouraging me to achieve a higher level of musicianship. The adult group performance classes offer an opportunity to experience and improve performance skills. The summer intensives for are an enjoyable 3-day whirlwind of learning. Numerous topics of piano pedagogy are covered. I feel very fortunate to be able to attend The New School for Music Study. I recommend it highly!"
