Ms. Kalt's many successful students have studied
with her privately and also through Manhattan's
St. Hilda's & St. Hugh's Independent School
near Columbia University. Her solo repertoire is
large and varied, and she encourages her students
to explore new music as well as the standard literature.
Ms. Kalt brings her extensive professional music
background to bear as a piano instructor whose
special gift for working with children and young
adults is impressive and unique. She is a dedicated
mentor, displaying care and patience with the young
beginner, as well as a passion for imbuing her students
with the love of music and the joy of learning to
play the piano.
Ms. Kalt balances an instinct for evoking the student's
trust and desire to learn with the requisite task
of cultivating disciplined practice habits. Her
more advanced protégés' consistent growth in technical
skill, interpretation, and musicianship emanate
naturally from her guidance, inspiration and tutelage.
Her large, airy studio overlooks the Hudson
River and Riverside Park and is within walking distance
of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.
