Her piano lineage traces back to Rudolph Ganz, concert pianist. Ms. Garson’s teacher, Arne Sorensen, studied extensively with Mr. Ganz, who also was the original conductor of the St. Louis Symphony and introduced Ravel and Debussy to this country. She also studied piano with Clara Rolland who studied at the Liszt Academy in Hungary.
Ms. Garson uses traditional methods to teach the piano, including a program called “Keyboard Gymnastics,” which helps the student become a more well-rounded musician, not just a pianist. Currently she is further updating her piano teaching skills by entering into a 3-year program with N. Jane Tan. It is a curriculum called “Masterful Teaching.” The goal is to get the student to play at a pretty advanced level within five years. N. Jane Tan studied with Leon Fleischer, one of America’s greatest concert pianists and conductors living today.
Ms. Garson has been actively teaching violin and piano lessons since 1993.
