If you're wondering, this page is not about people who have donated money to The Well-Balanced Pianist!

This page is devoted to friends in the old-fashioned sense. Below you will find links to websites of instructors from Well-Balanced Pianist programs, students of instructors and participants of The Well-Balanced Pianist, past and present, and some other good people we know. These are all people whose work we vouch for.

One note: unless noted, the piano teachers listed her are not teachers of either The Well-Balanced Pianist or the Taubman Approach. If you are looking for a teacher of that description, please contact The Well-Balanced Pianist.
