What My Students Have to Say
Regardless of their starting point, students in my program are taking their playing to the next level.
Before working with Loren, I was on the brink of giving up the piano for good. The weight of performance anxiety and self-doubt had become unbearable. I questioned whether I had anything meaningful to express through music at all. Loren tackled these issues with me head-on. With a perfect blend of compassionate guidance and targeted exercises, they helped me rekindle my love for the piano. More importantly, he helped me rediscover my 'why' in music, allowing me to see music not as a source of stress, but as an extension of myself and a way to communicate honestly with myself and others.
As an adult student and a complete beginner, finding a piano teacher was a daunting task. I didn’t know where to begin or what exactly I was looking for. Loren is a remarkably gifted musician, exceptionally patient and encouraging, and highly dedicated and organized. Not only do we work on technique, but also theory, expression, and effective practicing. He is always able to find the right ways to challenge me, but keeping me well within my grasp if I am willing to work hard at it. Loren also doesn’t make you feel bad about your mistakes; he is really there to help you. He is very kind when I just can’t seem to “get it” right away, and has multiple exercises and techniques to illustrate the same concept. In addition, time flexibility is an added obstacle for an adult learner, and Loren is very understanding of that. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned musician, I would highly recommend Loren to anyone who is serious about getting where they want to be with their piano playing.
I help pianists transform from students into artists.
Hi, I’m Loren Fishman, I’m a concert pianist, college music professor, and founder of Vita Piano. I’ve been teaching and mentoring adult pianists of all levels for over 20 years.
I started Vita Piano to help students who have been struggling with the limitations of traditional lessons or online courses to finally discover a clear, effective, and personalized approach for learning and playing piano and finally reach their full potential as artists.
I would love to talk with you about how I can help you reach your goals with piano!
