As an alumna of MIT and Juilliard, I have firsthand experience in being a serious musician while balancing other responsibilities and interests.
In 2010, I joined the music staff at MIT, where I’ve been a piano teacher, collaborative piano instructor, chamber music coach, and guest artist-lecturer for composition classes. I also teach private piano lessons to serious adult learners.
Eileen does an excellent job of helping students interpret even the most complicated pieces and overcome any technical difficulties that arise along the way.

I encourage my students to be inquisitive, careful listeners, and I’m a huge proponent of practicing efficiently instead of practicing more. As a multi-disciplinary thinker, I love problem-solving and exploring creative ideas, so my students can express themselves freely and authentically.
Eileen is the teacher who has worked best and longest for me. She zeros in quickly to the critical issues and is gentle but firm, without being arbitrary or dogmatic.

Working with Eileen has expanded my technical abilities and deepened my understanding of piano performance. I developed a better sense of musical expression as her student.

How do I know if a piano teacher is the right fit?
The students who benefit the most from my teaching are curious, hard-working, and eager for a challenge. I believe every expressive and technical nuance is worth exploring with enthusiasm.
[Eileen’s teaching shows] ample evidence of her fine musicianship, personal accomplishment as a pianist, and effectiveness in working well with some of our most advanced players.
—Marcus Thompson, Institute Professor, MIT
