Teaching Studio Announcement
I have maintained a private teaching studio at my home in Huntington, New York, for more than 30 years. It is a beautiful space, filled with art, nature, books, and two beautiful Steinway grands, all of which, I believe, enhance the process of music-making.

For the past several years I cut back somewhat on my teaching in order to work on my books, The Anatomy of a New York Debut Recital, A Pianist's Landscape, The Blue Piano and other Stories, and Polly and the Piano.  I believe that I have best expressed my teaching methods and beliefs in many of the essays and stories I have written--- from reflections about my heritage from my own great teachers, to portraits of exceptional students I have been blessed to teach, to coaching sessions I have been fortunate to have with some of the world's leading concert pianists. My teaching is one of the most creative and fulfilling aspects of my life, and now with all that writing behind me, I have decided to extend my schedule a bit to accommodate another day in my studio.

I would like to encourage those who would like to refine their skills and make beautiful music at the piano to contact me at my email address, carol@montparker.com. I will gladly listen to any students as long as there is deep interest, some potential, and love.

Carol Montparker, Steinway Artist, author, lecturer, and teacher, has conducted numerous workshops and master classes, at piano festivals, conferences, universities and colleges, for organizations, and at Steinway Hall in New York City, as well as at the Steinway Piano Gallery of Long Island.

In addition to her private teaching schedule, Montparker is also available for coaching at her own studio, hosting groups, or coaching individuals with works-in-progress in preparation for public performance. The focus is on interpretation, technique in the service of the music, and the entire “pianist’s landscape”.

Her new series, The Composer’s Landscape, focuses on one composer at a time. Montparker performs a major work by the composer followed by a talk on the essentials of performing and interpreting that composer’s works. Then four participants are chosen to perform works-in-progress in the master class portion of the program.

Auditors are invited to attend for a nominal fee of $10.

For more information on the series, please phone
