Daniel Colalillo
About
"Steinway and Sons" Top Piano Teacher 2022.
I'm a New York City based classical pianist. I has been lauded by “The New York Times” and have performed at halls such as Carnegie Hall, Steinway Hall, Columbia University, Princeton University, and has performed in various cities such as: Philadelphia, San Francisco, Nashville, Toronto, Montreal, and more. I received my Masters in Piano Performance at Mannes College: The New School for Music in 2014.
As a teacher I run my own music studio in uptown Manhattan where it is equipped with a excellent Steinway B.
I feel it is my responsibility to pass on all the insight and wisdom I have learn from my great teachers. Whether a student is training to be a concert pianist, or just trying out the instrument; I will give them the same amount of effort and expertise. I have taught piano to students of all ages and all levels of proficiency. Some of my student have had great success leading then to merit based scholarship to Interlochen Music School (High school) and others to the Evening Division at Juilliard. I have taught in various setting, such as music schools, summer festivals, master classes, and my own studio.
