Master Teachers

AwardsThe SIPF congratulates those master teachers who, repeatedly, have finalists and winners in the Seattle International Piano Competition. Getting past the grueling preliminary round takes dedication, persistence, artistry, and of course incredible devotion and guidance from a gifted teacher. Listed below, by location, are the names of master teachers who have had finalists and winners in the Seattle Int’l Piano Competition since 2008.

If you are one of the teachers listed, feel free to email to the SIPF with a link to your professional profile, submit your bio and headshot for us to create a permanent profile linked here to this page, or update any outdated information hereto. Write to: info@seattlepianocompetition.org with the subject heading “Master Teacher Profile Update”. Please allow 30 days for the SIPF organizers to respond.
