Piano Faculty
Conservatory faculty maintain active performance schedules while remaining accessible and committed to their students. Individual instruction is paramount to helping students develop their mechanical, technical, stylistic, psychological, and musical skills.
“What I feel like I do is keep all options open. I get [students] thinking, I get you playing, I get you feeling about the music. Then somewhere down the road you’re going to make a choice or decision as to what you will do with that. What I’m here doing every day is making you love music that much more.”
Alvin Chow, Professor of Piano
