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!

Edward Bemish provides a professional music learning experience. I am a long time pianist and piano teacher. Not only has Edward met my expectations to help me improve my performing ability; he has also provided comprehensive music theory instruction. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pianist, he offers a complete piano and music learning experience. I highly recommend!

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.

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’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.

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 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!

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’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.
