Faculty: NYSMF Instructors


NYSMF's individual instructors are all supremely talented musicians who take the time out of their busy professional performance and teaching schedules to gather at NYSMF each summer. Our faculty genuinely love the challenge and rewards of working with NYSMF's 300+ students, and every single one displays impressive resumes as both educators and players.

These people are NYSMF's private instrumental teachers, ensemble coaches, and course instructors. They also perform side-by-side with NYSMF students every day of the summer, helping to inspire and "push" every student to ever-higher levels.
