Rosa Lee Piano Studio

I received my undergraduate and graduate degrees in Piano Performance at the Juilliard School, a second masters degree in Music Education at Columbia University, and a doctorate at the Eastman School of Music. I am confident that you will know why my piano studio stands out. There are many teachers who teach piano. However, you will not receive the same results in the same amount of given time. I am confident that I can most effectively provide results for you, and, most importantly, inspire you/your child to enjoy the process throughout the musical journey. My unique educational background in both piano performance and music education distinguishes me from other teachers. I have learned not only the technical skills to teach students, but also on how to communicate most effectively to students through innovative, fun, and creative teaching methods. Each student has unique personalities and motivations to pursue piano, and I believe in a student-centered approach where I cater to each student's unique goals and interests. I am extremely passionate about inspired and effective teaching. I aspire to not only guide students reach technical and musical maturity, but also ultimately explore music at a holistic, humanistic level, where it fundamentally becomes life transforming. My biggest goal as a piano teacher and educator is to essentially become a mentor to students. I want to take part in helping students realize their full potential at the piano. I love connecting with students on a one-to-one level and knowing what he or she is passionate about. With this emotional connection and trust between the teacher and student, I believe that true music can be made. This is what is most rewarding and fulfilling to me as a teacher--seeing the look of contentment and excitement when a student expresses the connection between piano playing and the world around him or her.
