Mannes School of Music Tutor and Honors Graduate teaching piano/theory

Meyer N.

I'm Meyer Nam, a 2022 honors graduate from Mannes School of Music. I have eight years of experience teaching piano privately.
In addition to teaching privately, I also have experience teaching in a private music school. While running my own studio at this school, I also substituted for two colleagues. Under my instruction, my students and theirs achieved wonderful results from NYSSMA and ABRSM.

I encourage students to become independent right away, teaching them to learn notes effectively so they are able to learn pieces in their own time. They will be able to apply their own interpretation while taking the composer's intent into account. To me, this defines a successful student, as they grow to be independent and understand how to perform the music as the composer intended. I also cover more aspects of music, such as theory, history, and literature. The result is that my students become more well-rounded and educated than the average pianist.

I have personally worked with world-class musicians during my training. Pedagogues include Yuri Kim, Mark Evans, Daria Rabotkina, Stephanie Brown, Massimiliano Ferrati, Quynh Nguyen, Vladimir Valjarevic, Michael Thomopoulos, Vladimir Valjarevic, John Kamitsuka, and Oxana Yablonskaya.

My students have won international awards and performed in Carnegie Hall, Merkin Hall, Klavierhaus, Lincoln Center, halls in Spain, and Italy. They have also achieved excellent to perfect results from NYSSMA and ABRSM. My students have also studied with prestigious faculty such as Olga Kern, Maria Asteriadou, and Mikhail Voskresensky.

Please feel free to reach out to me to inquire about my lessons. I am passionate about teaching piano, and hope that students are inspired the same way I was.
