Bemish Green Piano Studio

I'm currently working with Mr. Bemish on Ear-training and Sight-Singing. He's shown me that I'm more capable than I let myself believe. With his guidance I'm becoming the musician I've always wanted to be.one who can become fluent in the language that is music. This is not your average music education!

I have wanted to learn how to play the piano and started at an older age with Edward Bemish. I am very satisfied with my progress of both playing the piano and reading music. His knowledge and expertise has really helped develop my abilities as a beginning piano player. I look forward to future lessons with Edward. I am confident that he will make me the piano player I would like to be.

I'm legitimately grateful to have Edward Bemish for my sons' teacher. His attention to detail, thoughtful and comprehensive approach, and of course his brilliant expertise have truly inspired my boys to advance their skills. I've noticed a marked improvement in both their abilities as well as their enthusiasm and I truly enjoy attending their lessons.

The music is a delight to listen to and it's even more so exquisite because I know how hard earned it has been for my boys. I love how the lessons they learn in studio apply to life outside of piano. I love how Mr. Bemish is encouraging, even when he needs to be critical to help them improve. I love to watch their confidence grow with the material Mr. Bemish works on with them over time. It's beautiful.

This is our first year working with Edward, and we have been incredibly pleased. Edward prepares thoughtful lessons that challenge our daughter but also make playing the piano fun. Students receive a complete musical education when working with Edward, and his ability to motivate is impressive. Our daughter went from practicing 10 minutes a day to practicing for over 30 minutes with relative ease. She has progressed rapidly due to Edward's teaching style. Edward's passion for music shows in each lesson, and we recommend him to aspiring musicians of all levels.

At 56 I figured it was time to venture into the unknown and learn something new, playing the piano. I have always wanted to play an instrument and learn how to read music. Edward has done an outstanding job. He has the ability to share his skill and expertise in a manner that is understandable, informative and enjoyable. I am grateful for his ability to communicate something completely intangible to me in such a way that that the information is retained.

I am excited to be learning this new language and very pleased with my progress to date. Edward incorporates piano history into each lesson and that affords me the opportunity to learn more. The instruction is more than notes and keystrokes. Edward is a true professional that has never lost sight of the importance of sharing ones gifts and talents. After a few short months I am more than pleased with the results. I highly recommend Bemish Green Piano!

I've been taking lessons with Mr. Bemish for over 12 years, and I'm so glad to have studied at Bemish Green Piano Studio. Lessons here are a perfect combination of challenging and fulfilling. Mr. Bemish teaches you the value of hard work and also the fundamentals of music, giving you a music education that extends beyond the classroom. Through studying here, I've also learned how to pass on my knowledge of the piano and I've discovered my passion for teaching. I've taught multiple students both through the studio and on my own time. I can't imagine what my life would be like without my years here at the studio.

As a drummer, I instantly recognized Edward as a top tier professional musician. What surprised me was the level that he teaches at. The way he uses humor to get the lesson across, holds my children accountable and keeps them focused has really impressed me. From the very first introductory lesson, it was very clear to me that Edward is both a professional musician and an excellent teacher.

In my experience, it's not very often that you find an excellent musician and an excellent teacher in one person. Update, It's been almost 4 years since my now 15 year old daughter started lessons and I could never have imagined the progress she's made. Simply Amazing! If you're contemplating learning to play the piano, I highly recommend Bemish Green Piano Studio!

Bemish Green Piano Studio gives a well-rounded, quality education in music and performance. Not only does Edward instill proper technique and highlight the artistry of playing, but he nurtures a true appreciation for music by including history, theory, and composition in his teaching. He is a natural instructor who is great at teaching each student according to their personal needs and preferences, going at a pace that allows for consistent progress and enjoyment of the learning and playing experience. He's an exceptional instructor to all ages. Highly recommend this studio.

Edward is an excellent piano teacher!! He taught both of my boys for years. He gave them not only wonderful technique, but also an excellent education on different music styles and related composers. What I love most is that he gave them a love of music that even despite their having to stop taking formal lessons from Edward because of their schedules, they still sit at the piano and play just for the pleasure of it. A gift for life!

I just had a fantastic lesson today! I’ve been with Edward for 6 plus years and I have to say that at 68 I’m not the fastest learner. Five years ago I was taught this same lesson but was unable to grasp all of it as I knew very little about music. Today Edward reviewed the same topic and I’m thrilled to say I finally understand it. Edward is one of the most patient men I know and today was one of the many times he showed it.

He was as excited for me as I was. I know that all my studying of theory has helped tremendously along with my improved playing ability. Edward’s teaching is totally individualized, not cookie cutter like so many other teachers. I’ve had lessons from other teachers and they pale in comparison. When I’m away, I Skype because I don’t want to miss a single lesson. Edward’s playing is the most skillful I’ve ever heard and his knowledge of music goes beyond brilliant. I’ve hired him to play for various occasions and he is loved and greatly admired by all. There is still so much to learn and I know I’ll be with Edward for many years to come

I wouldn't be the musician I am today if I hadn't studied with Edward. He's an incredible improviser and he helped bring out my own improvisation talent that I didn't know I had. The classical/jazz (you pick) curriculum is also fantastic. Edward integrates high-quality music theory and music history lessons into his lessons, and emphasizes high standards and self-discipline (this aspect of his teaching has carried over into other parts of my life).

The experience I had at Bemish Green Piano Studio inspired me to pursue a bachelor's degree in music theory at Temple University and gave me the music skills and self-discipline necessary to excel there. I highly recommend Bemish Green Piano Studio to anyone who wants to study music in a serious way.

I started with Bemish Green Piano as an adult with decades of musical experience. Initially I just wanted to add some formal structure to my own practice by working with an instructor. Edward helped me in areas I didn't expect, such as learning to practice efficiently to maximize the effectiveness of my practice. Other topics we worked on were rhythm studies, ear training, music theory and phrasing in improvisation.

He was good at observing how I played or even how I thought about music at a fundamental level to figure out how to replace my bad habits with good ones and to learn new concepts. When I was sent out of town for an extended time he was flexible enough to teach remotely. He tailors his instruction to what the student needs, or wants. Most of what I learned from Edward I've applied to the other instruments I play and I always try to imagine how he would approach a musical problem. He's a thoughtful instructor with an engaging sense of humor that is interested in making sure his students are successful.
