| The New York Piano Academy is a school born out of a
collaboration between two different musical worlds - classical and
jazz - represented by two pianists: Dr. Ronn Yedidia and Mr. Haim
Cotton. |
 |
| Dr. Ronn Yedidia is regarded by many as one of today's
foremost classical piano pedagogues. His students have been
recognized in numerous competitions and festivals throughout the
U.S. and Europe |
| Mr. Haim Cotton is a well-known jazz pianist, composer
and teacher. His innovative method of jazz instruction has broken
new grounds in the field and has affected generations of jazz
pianists. |
| The Academy's goal is to combine the art-forms of classical and
jazz in such a way that nourishes and complements one another, while
allowing each discipline to individually form its own natural
course. |
| We believe that classical pianists can benefit from the
improvisational nature of jazz, and conversely, that jazz pianists
can significantly improve through classical training methods. |
| We aim to instill our passion for the piano in every one of our
students so it leaves a lasting presence in their lives - whether
they choose it as a career or not. |
