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.

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’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.

Bemish green piano is a wonderful studio to learn at. They can teach you anything from the very basics to advanced techniques and songs. After over a year gap from my high school classes, this studio has allowed me to get back into practicing piano. Edward bemish, the teacher, is extremely kind and works very well with me. He works at my pace with the understanding that everybody will take a different amount of time to learn. I’m very grateful that I chose this studio when looking for lessons.

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 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'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 am very grateful to have found Edward, as he has the patience of a saint. I was somewhat nervous about taking lessons at my age, but he immediately put my fears to rest. He has a great sense of humor and is a talented pianist and teacher.

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.
