Renée's BIOGRAPHY
About me:
I have been a private piano teacher for over 30 years. I have also produced shows and productions here and abroad not only with my family but as a homeschool parent and professional partner in NYC shows. I have also been involved in co-creating arts curriculums for the New York City homeschooling community for the past 10 or so years. I was musical director for the homeschool productions Oliver!, Yeast Nation, Candide, 1940's Radio Hour, cabaret shows and Renée's Soirees. My background is in Piano Pedagogy, Piano Performance, Music Education and Musical Theater. Summers of 2013-2018, I have produced and directed shows in Italy as well as for the Narnia International Music Festival in Umbria.
I have a Master's Degree from Manhattan School of Music and am on the piano faculty at the Westchester Conservatory of Music in White Plains and former pre-college faculty at Manhattan School of Music. My performing career spans venues in the US, Italy and Australia. I am a 2014 recipient of a Steinway Educational Partnership. I enjoy with a passion watching my students develop and grow into artists. There is much joy in sharing the healing gifts of music and I love watching my students venture into their own communities sharing their gifts and joy.
