I am writing in enthusiastic support of Susan Fischer, as a talented musician, inspiring teacher, and warm and wonderful individual. I have known Susan for the past ten years, and she has taught both of my young children in piano. Susan’s enthusiasm for music is palpable, and she has a keen understanding of the development of young musicians, especially in harnessing their talent and interest in whatever genre they find inspiring. My children loved working with Susan, and they really felt that their understanding of theory, as well as their overall appreciation of music was improved from the years they spent together.
Susan would certainly be a spectacular program coordinator for any music school or institution. Her organization is remarkable, and my husband and I were particularly impressed with the quality of the recitals that Susan planned. Frequently they included a debut of a new musical piece that Susan had written, and she seamlessly interwove beginning musicians with experienced professionals, always striking the right note in balancing the program to be both inspiring and celebratory. Susan clearly knows how to spread joy and enthusiasm for music!

Susan has been very inspiring to me and my son Kevin and has brought a structure to our lessons which we have truly enjoyed. First, we would spend some time on theory, continue with practical exercises, then work on pieces from the classical, jazz or popular repertoire. Susan has always been very positive, patient and encouraging. Kevin has made remarkable progress over the years and has always enjoyed every aspect of the class. In addition, Susan plays beautifully and is very knowledgeable about composition and musicology, which has made my classes even more interesting and rewarding. Ms. Fischer is the best music teacher I have ever had. Having had the pleasure and the privilege to teach for the past twenty-five years at the University of Texas, at Yale University and currently at Barnard/Columbia, I know the qualities which make a great teacher. Susan has them, and I am very happy to recommend her.
