Being a student of Claudia’s provided me with an incredibly strong foundation of music and piano fundamentals, proper technique, a wide repertoire among the various musical periods, and the ability to recognize and perform the subtleties, such as phrasing, ornamentation, expression, and musicality. She did so in such a way that was engaging, rewarding, and enjoyable. So much of what I learned from Claudia prepared me in every aspect of my musical career, including auditions, recitals, and performances, as well as during my undergraduate music studies, and to this day, in my responsibilities as a church organist/pianist. I highly recommend Claudia for a student of any level or ability, whether it be simply learning to play the piano for fun, or for someone with career aspirations in music.

Claudia Keyian is the consummate teacher and pianist because she balances technical skill with the expressive, human side of playing. As a high school student I was lucky to have her as my piano teacher, and that relationship has now blossomed into a professional one when we have the opportunity to perform together. When people ask me to recommend a local piano teacher for their child, without hesitation Claudia is that person. Claudia shares her love of music and piano literature with students of all ages and levels of ability here on the North Shore, and I was very fortunate to have called her my teacher.

Claudia has been giving my grandson lessons for the past two years. I am often present for the lessons. She has a unique ability to inspire high standards while making the experience fun. She is a talented musician and teacher who understands children and their developmental process.

Both my sons have enjoyed lessons with Claudia. She has a wonderful way with children, is highly educated, and is a gifted piano player as well. I would recommend her without hesitation.

I am a voice teacher on the North Shore with approximately 25 vocal students. We were all prepared to do our spring recital with a competent accompanist. Suddenly he was taken out with an illness just days before the recital; we had to find someone who could step into this music with little or no rehearsal time. Claudia's name was given to me and she was available. She had two days to learn about 20 pieces in many different styles. They went from classical to country and Broadway to pop. Claudia did an amazing job in not only learning the pieces, but being able to follow students that were not as sure of their music as she is. Good accompaniment is an art and she showed us that it was a language she could speak. I look forward to working with her again.

Claudia's playing was the perfect accoutrement to our holiday gathering. Her choices in music were not only exceptionally well-played, they were exceptionally chosen. If you are looking for the perfect music to complement a fine evening with coworkers or friends, Claudia is highly recommended.
