Edward is an excellent and wonderful teacher as well as a professional musician. My daughter learned well from him and enjoyed his teaching methods. He made sure she understood her key notes, ques, and guided her steps via work notes and practices. She had fun learning and appreciates his humor when teaching. 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.

I have been taking weekly lessons with Edward for over two years. I can say without a doubt that Edward is an excellent teacher. He is patient but also holds you accountable for improvement. He provides an extremely well rounded music education and is willing to tailor your curriculum to your musical goals and tastes. He can teach anything from classical to blues and pop and virtually any other genre you are interested in. Studying with Edward has been a real treat and the lessons learned about the piano often apply to others aspects of your life. If you have been thinking about taking up Piano, you should absolutely give Edward Bemish a try.

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.

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.

I've been working with Edward for the last two years getting back to the piano that had been in hiatus for twenty odd years. I have some music background but working with Edward is helping me fill in the gaps and improve my total understanding of what it takes to make/play good music.

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.

I have taken several lessons with Mr. Bemish and I am happy to say that he loves what he does. He has a real passion for music and a real passion for teaching it. I think you just have to experience it to know what I mean. He really makes you think. He really wants you to understand and dictate back your understanding. I highly recommend lessons with Mr. Bemish. You won't be the same!

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.
